Hollywood star George Clooney has opened up about aging as after appearing on the red carpet at a movie premiere.
The grey-haired actor revealed: “I’m old. It’s an interesting thing to watch yourself grow older on screen.
“I was watching Up In The Air and I thought: ‘Jesus, who’s the old grey-haired guy?’ And it was me. I never wear make-up for movies and now it’s starting to show.”
Clooney, in London to promote three new movies, said: “It’s funny because most male actors work with actresses who are considerably younger.
“But earlier in my career I was working with a lot of actresses who were my age or older so people always thought I was older anyway and now I’m going through this thing with people thinking I’m about 60.
“But I’m kind of comfortable with getting older because it’s better than the other option, which is being dead. So I’ll take getting older!”
Clooney stars in three films screening at the London Film Festival – Up in the Air, The Fantastic Mr Fox and The Men Who Stare At Goats.
