No one serves the salt-and-pepper look quite like George Clooney. Since he started going grey in the 1990s, the actor quickly became one of the world’s favourite “silver foxes”. But after dyeing his hair black recently for a role on Broadway, no one seemed more put off by it than he. “My wife is going to hate it because nothing makes you look older than when an older guy dyes his hair,” the Good Night, and Good Luck star told The New York Times in February. Other Hollywood celebrities are similarly smitten with their silver fox status, including Steve Carell, Patrick Dempsey and Hugh Grant. Locally, there’s Eric Bana, rugby coach Ivan Cleary and Ben Mendelsohn, who’s currently showing off his salt-and-pepper mane in season two of Andor. If the likes of Clooney and Mendelsohn are championing their naturally greying hair, should other men follow suit and ditch the dye?
