Clooney previously directed the film version of Good Night, and Good Luck, which starred David Strathairn as Murrow. In that movie, Clooney portrayed Murrow’s news producer Fred W. Friendly. The actor is the latest Hollywood A-lister to feel compelled to darken up his hair amid an apparent ‘midlife crisis’ craze.Leonardo DiCaprio previously showed off his darker brown hair when he made appearances during award season, and his dye job appeared to have gotten a boost earlier this week when he also appeared at CinemaCon to promote his upcoming collaboration with Paul Thomas Anderson, titled One Battle After Another.
Graceful aging as a man is less about resisting time and more about refining how you live within it: taking care of your body through consistent movement, good sleep, and nutrition; sharpening your mind by staying curious and adaptable; and cultivating character by choosing humility, patience, and purpose over ego. It means dressing and grooming with intention, not trend-chasing, and accepting change without bitterness—seeing experience as an asset rather than a loss. Above all, aging well is about responsibility: showing up for your health, your relationships, and your values, so that each year adds depth, steadiness, and quiet confidence rather than regret.
