George Clooney resembled his old silver foxy self while attending the 78th Annual Tony Awards Nominees Luncheon, which was held at 30 Rock’s Rainbow Room in Midtown Manhattan on Monday.
The 64-year-old first-time thespian has clearly been using temporary black hair dye to stain his signature gray locks in order to more authentically embody Edward R. Murrow in Good Night, And Good Luck.
George – who kept his baseball cap on – impressively scored a Tony nod for best performance by a leading actor in a play for his Broadway debut as the late broadcast journalist interviewing Senator Joseph McCarthy.
Clooney rubbed elbows with Broadway legends like Harvey Fierstein, who will receive the Tony Award for lifetime achievement in the theatre when the ceremony airs June 8 on CBS.
The two-time Oscar winner was all smiles while chatting with Sunset Boulevard star Tom Francis, who’s nominated for best actor in a musical.
George was joined by his lead producer Sue Wagner as they chatted up Purpose star Kara Young, who’s nominated for best featured actress in a play.

Clooney will face heavy competition for the prize against Oh Mary’s Cole Escola, Purpose’s Harry Lennix, Purpose’s Jon Michael Hill, Yellow Face’s Daniel Dae Kim, and Stranger Things’ Louis McCartney.
The $4M-grossing play is also up for best scenic design, best costume design, best lighting design, and best sound design of a play at the Tonys.
On June 7, CNN will make history as the first network to air a play live when they broadcast Good Night, and Good Luck.
‘I can’t tell you how exciting it is to do something that’s never been done,’ the Wolfs producer-star said in the press release.
‘CNN is the perfect place to bring this story of courage to so many more people than we could have ever hoped. Live TV. No net. Buckle up everyone.’
Director David Cromer’s 1954-set drama, set in CBS Studios at Grand Central, runs through June 8 at the Winter Garden Theatre in Midtown Manhattan.
George previously directed David Strathairn in the same exact role in his 2005 film Good Night, and Good Luck while he took on the role of Fred W. Friendly, a producer friend of Murrow’s.
Clooney will next take on the titular role in Noah Baumbach’s heartbreaking comedy Jay Kelly, which hits limited US theaters November 14 before streaming December 5 on Netflix.
Jay Kelly will also feature Adam Sandler, Billy Crudup, Laura Dern, Greta Gerwig, Isla Fisher, Riley Keough, Emily Mortimer, Patrick Wilson, Stacy Keach, and Jim Broadbent.
