George Clooney’s appearance at the “Wolfs” premiere left fans uneasy. The usually charming actor sparked worries about his health with a seemingly slimmer and pale look.
George Clooney, 63, attended the “Wolfs” red carpet event on September 18, 2024, at TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, but his appearance sparked online concern. The actor, who has always been admired for his ageless attractiveness, looked uncharacteristically “sick” and “yellow” according to fans.
With his wife Amal absent from the event, many began speculating about his health, especially in photos taken alongside his longtime friend and co-star Brad Pitt. In this photo from the event, you can see them making quite a pair on the red carpet.
The two Hollywood stars posed together, both dressed in sharp, stylish suits without ties for a more casual result. However, while Brad appeared energetic and youthful, George looked notably paler, although he was also cheerful.
In this second shot, George stood solo in front of the cameras. His skin tone appeared dull under the harsh lights. His smile was just as bright as always, but his face was notably slimmer.
In this group photo from the event, George is seen standing with Brad and other cast members like Richard Kind, Poorna Jagannathan, Amy Ryan, and Zlatko Buri. Surrounded by others, George’s slimmer physique captured people’s eyes.
The actor’s altered appearance ignited a flurry of online speculation and debate among fans. One user bluntly stated, “George looked sick, his skin is yellow. Brad so hot 🔥 [sic],” while another speculated, “George on Ozempic? [sic] 🙄.”
Several fans voiced concerns about his health. One wrote, “Is George sick? He doesn’t look like before. Hope he’s well and I’m just being paranoid.” Another added, “George looks like a wax figure.” Someone else commented, “Time wasn’t kind to George Clooney.” And another fan suggested, “George looks jaundice [sic].”
On the flip side, George still had admirers defending his appearance. One fan insisted, “Clooney looks good,” and another praised both stars, “They’re both so handsome.”
More fans echoed these sentiments, with comments like “Both so gorgeous still” and “Clooney looks way better than Pitt.” Some appreciated their playful dynamic while answering a reporter’s questions. They wrote, “These two are hilarious.”
Despite the mixed reactions from fans, George’s enduring appeal is undeniable. His journey to Hollywood stardom has been paved with iconic roles and a dedication to humanitarian causes.
His career took off in the 1990s with his role as Dr. Doug Ross on “ER,” and he went on to star in blockbusters like “Ocean’s Eleven” and “Syriana,” which won him his first Oscar.
“Wolfs,” the latest film starring George and Brad, centers on two rival fixers forced to work together during one chaotic night to handle a scandal involving a New York official. This action-comedy premieres on Apple TV on September 27.
So, while Clooney’s appearance at the “Wolfs” premiere in Los Angeles has stirred concern, many are hopeful it’s just a fleeting moment and not a sign of anything serious. As of this writing, there’s no word on why Amal wasn’t with him. However, as previously reported, she caused a stir at the Venice Film Festival while accompanying her husband to promote the film.
George’s wife stunned in a Versace gown. The apparel also accentuated her waist and flowed into a dramatic ruffled skirt with a short train. Amal Clooney styled her voluminous hair in loose waves, parted to the side, and accessorized with elegant pearl drop earrings.
She complemented her look with a chic Judith Leiber clutch and Aquazzura heels. Her face glowed with makeup that featured soft blush and sparkling eyeshadow.
Embracing George, 63, the couple beamed at each other, their eyes locked in a loving gaze as they posed for photos at the event. George Clooney, who looked dapper, opted for a timeless black suit and bowtie.
Amal’s hair and beauty attracted loads of comments online. One person said, “Amal’s hair is stunning 😍,” while another user commented, “Skinny, but has the thickest hair in the world.”
However, more users chimed in with critiques, such as “Who did the hair extensions?! 😂 Horrible hairdresser.” Another individual noted that Amal looked different with lighter hair, a comment a fan concurred with, “Don’t think it suits her at all. Her natural dark hair is more stunning in my opinion.”
Regarding her style, one fan remarked, “Amal Clooney has been slaying during Venice film festival 😍😍 very look is perfect! Very classy 🤌🏽,[sic]” More fans who found her beauty alluring, wrote, “Amal is literally perfect.” A fan felt she resembled Medusa, noting, “Amal Clooney favors Medusa.”
On her magnificence, one user stated, “Amal is absolutely gorgeous,” while another praised, “Amal Clooney gets more beautiful every day ❤️.” One final comment observed, “Amal looks so different with lighter hair.”
Glam expert Dimitris Giannetos, who handled Amal’s hair and makeup, provided exclusive details on the process. Dimitris said they aimed for a classic Italian look, drawing inspiration from Sophia Loren.
He added, “A big bouncy blowout and shimmery bronzy makeup was perfect.” Dimitris used Garnier Fructis Hair Filler Serum, to achieve a glossy, voluminous finish for the hair. He added on L’Oréal Paris Le Color Gloss in Honey Blonde to give Amal’s face a caramel highlight.
At the festival, the couple also enjoyed time with Brad and his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, first at dinner and later on the red carpet for the premiere of “Wolfs,” where they all posed together.
Before their appearance at the Venice Film Festival, Amal and George were spotted arriving in the city, with the actor’s wife donning another striking ensemble. Amal dazzled in a bright yellow minidress with a tiered skirt, complemented by a wide-brimmed straw hat and espadrilles. She had a bright smile on her face and held her husband’s hands as they walked.
Amal red carpet looks have often attracted fans’ attention with many praising her for setting trends. However, fans noted that the white crochet dress she wore on August 26, 2024, was not one of her best looks.
Despite being already married to George for almost ten years, the human rights lawyer opted to rock bridal fashions to enjoy a lovely date night with her husband. Outlets report that the couple arrived by boat to enjoy dinner at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo in Lake Como, Italy.
Amal’s crochet dress that she donned for their excursion is from fashion powerhouse Chanel’s Resort 2023 collection, which was designed by Virginie Viard. The garment features open and closed panels of stitching and silver sequins placed all over, adding a touch of glamor to the beachy material.
The gorgeous Chanel dress was featured as part of Look 61 in the fashion brand’s Cruise 2022/23 fashion show. Worn by a model on the runway, the dress was paired with a matching, crystal-embellished handbag, a stunning, sparkly, black, button-down jacket, an eye-catching necklace, and chic strappy heels.
Choosing to style the dress differently, Amal did not wear a jacket and accessorized with large silver earrings and metallic silver heels. Matching his wife’s demure elegance, George looked handsome in his beige suit jacket and formal pants.
Upon seeing the couple on their night out in Italy, many social media users took to online platforms to share their opinions. A lot of people criticized Amal’s crochet dress, especially where the garment’s pockets were concerned.
“[Silly] for a serious lawyer,” asserted an Instagram user. Another stated, “Those patch pockets are a crime against this woman. Against all women!” “Attacked by a tablecloth, still is tall and has cleavage,” added someone else.
On the other hand, one fan was pleasantly surprised by the dress pockets, penning, “It has pockets!? 🤩.” An observer who was confused by the style the dress was going for commented, “The tone of this dress is confusing. On the one hand it’s giving cozy knit with pockets and on the other it’s an evening gown with sequins. She looks beautiful though.”
Interestingly, despite many not having an affinity for Amal’s dress, the garment has been dubbed the biggest dress trend of the summer this year (2024).
According to a fashion outlet, many labels and fashion houses have been drawing inspiration from bohemian styles like crochet outfits that have a nostalgic ’70s feel.
In keeping with modern times, however, designers find ways to add nuances that elevate the look, as many of them have done with the crochet skirt, for example.
Whether modern crochet dresses are adorned with sleek silhouettes or fresh cutouts and patterns, the piece of clothing remains “an essential item for any wardrobe.”
Aside from comments made about how Amal looked in the wardrobe staple item, other people shifted their focus to how Amal and George looked together.
“Kinda looks like his daughter!” asserted a Facebooker while another wrote, “He is super old for her.” Echoing a similar sentiment, someone else said, “George is looking old in profile.”
One netizen responded to a media outlet’s caption of a post they shared about the couple’s night out, which reads, “They have to be the world’s most glamorous couple 😍🔥.” The netizen expressed, “The most embarrassing maybe…”
However, one admirer came to George and Amal’s defense, praising, “She always looks divine and he [is as] gorgeous as ever.”
The pair’s recent date night is not the only occasion that has seen Amal break out an outfit from her impressive designer archive collection, which includes beautiful pieces from Christian Dior and Versace.
