The 64-year-old screen legend is renowned for his signature silver locks. However, he had tocolor his hair a rich shade of brunettefor his Broadway playGood Night, and Good Luck. With theTony-nominated show wrapping its run at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City on Sunday, June 8, Clooney revealed during a Monday, June 2, appearance onLate Night with Seth Meyersthat one of the first things he'll do after his final performance is fix his "bad" hair. Clooney appeared on the show wearing a hat to cover his head, and the first thing he said upon being greeted by hostSeth Meyerswas that the hat was necessary to "hide" his hair as it grew out. "It's bad. It's still dark on top, but it's gray at the bottom," he explained, telling Meyers, 51, that he hadn't dyed it for about two months. "So you get that really nice-looking grow-out of gray." Bruce Glikas/FilmMagic How soon will Clooney be undergoing a transformation to revert back to his traditional look? "The last show is Sunday. We do a matinee, and then by the time we go to the Tonys that night, it'll be gone," he vowed. Meyers assured the actor that his hair looked "great on stage" — but his guest didn't seem to buy it, sarcastically replying, "Sure."

He did agree when the late-night host said that it "looks like you are trying to get away with something" when you see him out in public. "It really looks bad," Clooney replied. "It looks like [I'm] going through some horrible midlife crisis. I'm 64 — midlife is a little stretch." The actor said that his wife,Amal Clooney, found his hair transformation to be "funny," but added that she'll "be glad when it's gone." Lloyd Bishop/NBC via Getty Of course, reversing the effects of coloring your hair can be challenging. But Clooney is ready and willing to take dramatic steps to change up his appearance. "I may have a shaved head. I may look likeYul Brynner," he said, referencing the late actor who shaved his head for years. (Brynner won a Tony in 1952 for his performance inThe King and I.) Meyers pointed out that comparisons to Brynner might be a good thing going into the 2025 Tony Awards, whereClooney snagged a nominationfor Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play. However, he made it clear that he isn't necessarily prepared to take home an award during the ceremony this Sunday: "I'm not thinking very positively about winning a Tony."
