George Clooney’s gray roots make a comeback after debuting ‘awful’ dye job

George Clooney is rocking his natural grey roots again months after debuting his ‘cringey’ dye job.

Back in March, the actor, 64, dyed his hair dark brown to play Edward R. Murrow in the stage adaptation of his 2005 film Good Night, and Good Luck.

Clooney — who recently earned a Tony Award nomination — previously admitted that his wife Amal wasn’t a fan of his darker ‘do.

And on Tuesday, Clooney’s signature salt-and-pepper hair made a subtle comeback as he arrived at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City.

Wearing a white Bronx New York baseball cap, Clooney had noticeably gray sideburns as well as gray hair on the of his neck.

He styled his hat with a black leather jacket, kaki pants, Adidas sneakers and blue-tined sunglᴀsses.

His outing in NYC comes just days after it was revealed that Clooney earned his first Tony Award nod for his Broadway debut role in Good Night, And Good Luck.

The play, set in the McCarthy Era, stars Clooney in the role of news anchor Edward R. Murrow, who was portrayed in the 2005 film, which Clooney starred in and directed, by David Strathairn. 

The stage show opened in previews in mid-March with its official premiere in early April, running through early June. 

Clooney’s nomination for Best Lead Actor was revealed last Thursday by Tony winners Wendell Pierce and Sarah Paulson on that day’s episode of CBS Mornings.

Clooney’s fellow nominees include Louis McCartney for Stranger Things: The First Shadow, a spin-off of the smash hit Netflix series. 

Their compeтιтors are Cole Escola, who stars as Mary Todd Lincoln in the comic play Oh, Mary! that he also wrote, as well as Daniel Day Kim for Yellow Face, Harry Lennix and Jon Michael Hill for the Pulitzer-winning Purpose.

The Tony Awards will be handed out June 8 at Radio City Music Hall during a telecast hosted by Wicked star and Tony winner Cynthia Erivo. 

While Clooney could earn a prestigious accolade for his work in Good Night, And Good Luck, his ‘cringey’ dark brown dye job for the role that has earned him the most attention in the media.

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.

Clooney has taken the criticism around his ‘awful’ dye job in stride.

Last month, he made a joke about it while being honored with his portrait at the iconic Manhattan restaurant Sardi’s, a time-honored tradition for Broadway performers, last month.

The portrait of Clooney, which depicted him with his signature salt-and-pepper coif, looked more like him than he did at the time.

After taking a look at the drawing, Clooney felt compelled to cracked a joke about his hair.

‘I like the hair color. It’s much better than my hair color right now,’ Clooney joked while holding the portrait. ‘That’s better. It’s grey, mostly grey. There we are, thank you so much.’

Clooney also acknowledged that his dyed brown hair is ‘not good’ while chatting with Gayle King on an April episode of CBS Mornings.

King said: ‘I have to take a moment looking at you with the dark hair.’

‘I know it’s not good!’, Clooney interjected.

Gayle added: ‘I didn’t say it wasn’t good!’

‘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 favorite look.

‘And my wife, she thinks it’s funny. Well, they [his children] laugh at it [his hair] because honestly nothing makes you look older than being 63 and dying your hair.’
