Silver Fox no more? George Clooney’s dramatic new look sparks midlife crisis rumors during lunch date with wife Amal

George Clooney’s youthful style, including a black leather jacket, beige pants, and Adidas sneakers, sparked speculation about a mid-life crisis. However, sources suggest the change is likely for his upcoming Broadway debut in Good Night, And Good Luck, a stage adaptation of his acclaimed 2005 film.

Clooney and his setbacks

According to Daily Mail UK, despite his achievements, Clooney’s journey hasn’t been without setbacks. Though Good Night, And Good Luck received widespread praise, it left the Oscars empty-handed that year, a rare miss for the actor-filmmaker. More recently, his transition to theater has raised eyebrows, with some questioning his drastic hair change. Critics noted Murrow famously had silver hair during the era Clooney is portraying, making the dye job an unusual choice.

During the NYC outing, Amal Clooney showcased her signature style in a plaid jacket and retro bell-bottom jeans, her hair lightened to a shade matching George’s new look. The couple’s fashionable appearance contrasted with the practical black backpack George carried as they left the French restaurant Raoul’s.

Beyond Broadway, Clooney is preparing for Jay Kelly, a star-studded film directed by Noah Baumbach. The dramedy features the likes of Adam Sandler, Laura Dern, and Greta Gerwig, marking Clooney’s first collaboration with Baumbach. This follows his recent focus on smaller projects and philanthropy, balancing Hollywood fame with humanitarian work alongside Amal, as per Daily Mail UK.
