George Clooney was greeted by fans in New York City on Friday night following a performance of his Broadway show Good Night, and Good Luck.

The 64-year-old actor showed off his freshly dyed brown hair, days after flashing his graying roots at a Tony Awards event.

The father-of-two — whose wife Amal Clooney is enjoying Cannes solo — was stylish in a black crew neck shirt, black leather jacket, and khaki-colored pants.

Clooney rounded out his look with a pair of white and black Adidas sneakers and added lightly tinted eyeglasses.

He was clean-shaven as he signed autographs for adoring fans outside of Winter Garden Theatre.

George has earned his first Tony Award nomination, in the Best Leading Actor in a Play category, for his Broadway debut as Edward R. Murrow.

His role in the stage show comes after he wrote, directed, and appeared as Fred Friendly in the 2005 movie of the same name.

Good Night, and Good Luck follows journalist Murrow and his CBS news team as they confront Senator Joseph McCarthy, who has set out on an anti-communist campaign.

Set in the 1950s, Murrow challenges McCarthy’s aggressive agenda and defends journalistic integrity.

He underwent a visual transformation in preparation, sporting a heavy spray tan and coloring his natural silvery locks.

Fans have not been shy about their dislike of his new look, with some taking to social media to say he looks ’20 years older.’

One joked that he used a ‘full blown black sharpie on his hair’ and begged for him to get rid of the dye. 

Clooney admitted that his wife Amal also isn’t a fan of his darker locks.

The Hollywood vet has taken the criticism in stride, and even joked about it while being honored with his portrait at Manhattan restaurant Sardi’s in April.

The image reveal — a longstanding tradition for Broadway performers — showed him with his signature salt-and-pepper coif.

After taking a look at the drawing, he joked, ‘I like the hair color. It’s much better than my hair color right now, adding, ‘That’s better. It’s grey, mostly grey. There we are, thank you so much.’

Clooney also acknowledged that his dyed brown hair is ‘not good’ while chatting with Gayle King on an April episode of CBS Mornings.

King said, ‘I have to take a moment looking at you with the dark hair,’ prompting the leading man to interject, ‘I know it’s not good!’

He noted, I’m not used to it, you never get used to it. Listen, I started getting grey when I was 25 so I’ve been grey most of my life, so [the dark hair is] not my favorite look.’
