George Clooney’s gray hair has been a trademark for years. Now a survey found out: He is the “Sexiest Grey”.
Nobody on this planet with gray hair is hotter than George Clooney (61). According to a British survey by the recognized institute “Perspectus Global”, the Hollywood actor is the “Sexiest Grey”. With that he sat down according to the Daily Mail against his colleagues Idris Elba (50) in second place and Helen Mirren (77) in third place. Actress Jamie-Lee Curtis (64) just missed the podium.
Other candidates on the list included Richard Gere (73), Salma Hayek (56), Tom Hanks (66), Barack Obama (61) and Sarah Jessica Parker (57). The study also asked whether the British generally found gray hair attractive. At least a third of all respondents over the age of 40 said they prefer gray hair to a colored head. At least 20 percent of the survey participants think that gray hair looks mature and sophisticated.
George Clooney doesn’t want to dye his hair
Clooney has been wearing his prime year in his now-natural color gray for many years. In an interview with E! News the actor once said that he would never use dye and wanted to age gracefully: “I don’t think it would make much sense to be honest…” He believes that dyed hair is mostly for men made them look even older.
By the way: In 1997 and 2006 George Clooney was awarded the title “Sexiest Man Alive”. And even then, his hair was anything but pitch black like when he started out as an actor. In 2006 in particular, Clooney’s hair was already largely gray. But almost ten years earlier, in 1997, the temples of the Hollywood star were already clearly mottled gray at the tender age of 36.
