George Clooney returns to being a silver fox as he attends 2025 Tony Awards with glam wife Amal after ‘awful dye job’
George Clooney’s return to silver fox status is nearly complete, several months after debuting a dye job that was mocked online.
The actor, 63, attended the Tony Awards with the majority of his hair in it’s familiar shade of grey.
George, looking handsome in a slick black tuxedo, attended Broadway’s biggest night with his gorgeous wife Amal, 47, by his side.
Amal stunned in a white beaded dress teamed with a marble clutch and a head full of loose, romantic waves.
George dyed his famous salt and pepper locks dark brown back in March for his role as legendary newsman Edward R. Murrow in his Broadway show Good Night And Good Luck.
While the temporary hair might not impressed many, his work in the play certainly did – he was nominated for the Tony for Best Performance By An Actor In A Leading Role In A Play, but the award ultimately went to Cole Escola for his performance in Oh, Mary!.

The actor looked in his element as he confidently posed on the red carpet with Amal by his side.
They even showed some PDA with Amal – who has been married to George since 2014 and shares eight-year-old twins Ella and Alexander with him – planting a kiss on him.
It comes after George endured ridicule over his shock hairstyle.
Fans have shared been sharing their disapproval of his new darker hair and orange fake tan, with some admitting it makes him look ’20 years older’
Others joked he’s put a ‘full blown black sharpie on his hair’ as they begged for him to wash out the hair dye.
They wrote on X: ‘Weird seeing George Clooney once had non-grey hair. I figured he popped out of the womb a silver fox!’,
‘What in the Sam Hell is that awful dye job on George Clooney? He looks pathetic’.
George himself even admitted during a recent interview on CBS Mornings he knows his hair isn’t good and said he still isn’t used to the new look himself.
Gayle King said: ‘I have to take a moment looking at you with the dark hair.’
‘I know it’s not good!’ George interjected.

‘Oh, It’s not good! I’m not used to it, you never get used to it. Listen, I started getting grey when I was 25 so I’ve been grey most of my life so it’s not my favourite look.
‘And my wife, she thinks it’s funny,’ he said, adding their children ‘laugh’ at his hair.
‘Honestly nothing makes you look older than being 63 and dying your hair,’ he said.
The play is based on his 2005 film of the same name which he previously wrote, directed and starred in.

In his 2005 film, David Strathairn played the lead role, while George took a supporting role as CBS President Fred Friendly, in addition to working behind the camera.
The movie, which was shot in black-and-white, focused on Murrow’s reports on Senator Joseph McCarthy’s unfounded claims of communist infiltration in the US government.
This leads to a fiery confrontation between the two men on Murrow’s CBS broadcast ahead of the senator’s humiliation at the Army–McCarthy hearings and subsequent censure from the Senate.
The all-star cast also included Robert Downey Jr., Jeff Daniels, Patricia Clarkson, Frank Langella and Twin Peaks star Ray Wise.
George’s film was a hit at the box office, grossing $54.6 million against a $7 million budget, and it earned six Oscar nominations, though it went home empty-handed.
