I was surprised &#8230; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We [Sandler and I] held hands. No, I didn\u2019t know he was going to use sort of clips from my own actual career, which was a surprise.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And you get to look at a lot of bad haircuts over the \u2026 mullets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nHe then turned to Sandler and said: &#8220;Don\u2019t you laugh,. You had a mullet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Happy Gilmour star joked back: &#8220;My mullet was fluffy. Mine wasn&#8217;t as good as yours. Yours laid there nicely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nClooney then laughed: &#8220;I had a good mullet \u2026 Full party in the back. Who would put it up on a screen that people could see now with a beautiful score?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Oscar-winner previously addressed his 1980s hair issues during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in November after the host showed him pictures of his infamous hair &#8216;do.<\/p>\n<p>\nClooney said: &#8220;That\u2019s the early stages, later, it got longer in the back and shorter at the sides, as you do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nWhen asked who was responsible for the mullet, Clooney replied: &#8220;I don\u2019t know! It wasn&#8217;t my fault. My parents weren\u2019t taking me to the barber [in the \u201880s].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nClooney rocked the style for many years from the late 1980s until the early 1990s but chopped it all off after landing his break-out role on medical drama E.R.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe also previously discussed the hair style in a joint interview with Brad Pitt for GQ in 2014 with the pair comparing their matching mullets.<\/p>\n<p>\nClooney told the publication: &#8220;It\u2019s fun to look around \u2013 I look at him [Pitt], and I also see the kid with really s***** hair on a bad sitcom that both of us were [wearing] &#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nPitt added: &#8220;I would say one of the greatest mullets that ever existed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nClooney insisted his mullet was better adding: &#8220;Yeah, I might say mine. But again, that\u2019s part of a really good shared experience &#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/george-clooney-shocked-mullets-cameo-jay-kelly-1435225.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>29 December 2025 George Clooney was shocked to see his 1980s mullet make a surprise cameo appearance in his new movie Jay Kelly.
