Goal is that do we look right for you? Adam Rapoport is a style editor at GQ Magazine and he's here with us now. Adam, good morning.
Good morning, Campbell.
So I saw this AARP study that says more than 50% of women over 50 color their hair. It's different from women than it is from men, isn't it?
It is. I mean (It's not fair) I would admit it's a double standard, I mean, I think typically, stereotypically, (yeah?), you know men are attracted to youth and beauty and~and women are attracted to power, (OK)you know, as guys can go gray, you know, Bill Clinton went very grey in office and that didn't seem to slow him down at all. (No.), Er, that,
Definitely not, well, will you right think grey is the new black. It's actually stylish and hip now.
If you do it well (ok)and, or if you're George Clooney, you probably do whatever you want and you'll look good in there.
And, and are you speaking from personal experience?)
I've got a little salt pepper going. (you are a little grey.). It's like what I said. (You've got that some pepper thing going.). I have a lot of pomade in my hair at the moment, so it looks a little darker than it does normally.
But you also say you really have to, to dress appropriately in order to pull it off.
Well, exactly. I mean, once you start going in grey, it's kind of like a little sign from God that, you know, all right, you are not in the fertility anymore, it's time to grow up (It's time to grow up), then you, you need the cargo shorts, the, you know, the tank tops, start dressing a little bit more like a gentleman.
So how do you do it (I don't, I..I..what~) to get that look, (I don't think that~)that George Clooney look?
Yeah~it doesn't necessarily mean dressing conservatively, but you know, like I said, put on a blazer, put on a dresser, you can still wear jeans~um~I think what's also important is that you wear your hair properly. Can we talk about the hair itself right now?
Yeah. Then tell me about the hair.
And I think, I think you want it to go a little bit shorter.
Yeah?
Uh..you don't want that kind of floppy fly-away longer hair. Um..
Not with grey. That's too...No...No...
Nah..you don't want that kind of prep school 16-year-old New England kid want.
Yeah. I like grey, you've got like the spiky thing with a little pomade.
I've got the spiky sawered on the side.
It's working for ya.
So, yes, I think, you should just gotta kinda consider your wardrobe, consider the hair, just kinda get your game a little tighter.
All right, we're gonna have a little fun with this, (OK) because we ask our very talented graphics people (oh, yes) to try and imagine what some celebrities would look like when they went grey and I wanna get your reaction to whether it's working for them or not. Ok, first step, Johnny Depp. Let's see if we can show. (where is Johnny?). There he is. I think he looks ok. Yeah? you know it?
I'd say Johnny might need a haircut. (Ok!), but Johnny might need a haircut in real life anyway, so he'll have the grey.
Johnny Depp is...to anything else. OK, Russell Crowe, let's see Russell Crowe.
Russell, his hair is even greasier than mine right there...(Oh~Yeah they are~it's~)
So I'll say maybe go a little easy on the product ~yeah~and er, but, you know, Russell, Russell, you see Russell is mid-forties now. He's a great actor. (Yeah), whether he has grey hair or not, I believe he can pull it off.
And he's getting not just distinctive grey.
Yeah,Yeah,he is a distinctiveguy.
Ok, John, roll please, our own Al.Roker
Al.Roker. (Yeah). *, does Al even have any hair? Getting his jeer.(yeah, of course) No..no..no
Don't insult poor Al.
Was it Al? Al, Al, Al. is the best. (And he was...)
Al is the best regardless what he is got going.
Ok, what about Barno?
Barno, I think actually he looks great. I mean now that he's kind of reached his diplomat stage in his life.(Yeah) Er, I think he's gonna lend some more and more gravitas almost. Or that he'll kind of take a Greek shipping magnet. (Yeah), so you know, he can also do whatever he wants.
Ok, um~Brad Pitt, wuuu...
Brat Pitt, I think Brat looks actually better there than he does when he had that weird orange yellow dye job, you know? (I know, I know, that is nice. ok) what I say, I mean, Brat Pitt want it, you know.
What was for Jennifer Aniston up there for Pitt?
Jennifer looks a little..(no, thumbs down ..), a little, a little~you gotta~a thumbs down for the, for this ~yeah~(getting a thumbs down ..., I know) a little~a little~Amy little hairs. Maybe if she has a guitar in a, a backing band, she might get away with it.
And we saw Halle Berry go grey in X-Men, but I guess,(Well) could she pull it off in the real life?
I mean, Halle Berry is hot, * (She's, she's got that face like Connie) Yes, she's beautiful. (Yeah, like they can almost pull anything off. And then newsman Anderson Cooper, he actually wrote a column about going prematurely grey. We made him brown, (Ya,ya~)actually you tickle back to what it was originally it was. (Ya kind of wanna smack him with that hair.) He looks like, well (You see he will..yeah..a little, a little boy, (ok)I think with him, especially what we would be talking about him is much if he didn't have his kind of iconic hair.
Do you think this is just a trend or does it signal that like we are moving toward a greater acceptance of aging?
I mean although I think I'd admit obviously all men go grey, just a question of when and I think men expect women to dye their hair. (Yeah). Men when they dye their hair, they're kind of a virginal wane in new territory and it's a little bit of tough to pull off.
So you know what? The key is just embrace it (just go with it), go with it. All right, Adam, it was a lot of fun (Thank you, Campbell), good to see you. Nice to have you here.(Bye bye.)
