LOS ANGELES - George Clooney is just like us, maybe. The star said he does his own haircuts with a device famously touted in infomercials.
In an interview on "CBS Sunday Morning," the Oscar-winning actor and filmmaker said he's been cutting his own hair for more than two decades.
"My hair is really like straw," Clooney said of his thick, salt-and-pepper thatch. "So it's easy to cut, can't really make too many mistakes. So years ago, I bought a thing called a Flowbee."
"You did not," said skeptical interviewer Tracy Smith.
"The thing with the vacuum cleaner and clippers, yeah. I still have it," Clooney replied. "My haircuts take, literally, two minutes. "
Flowbee sales surged when the coronavirus pandemic limited access to salon and barber shops in some areas, Fortune magazine reported in late March. But as Clooney told CBS News correspondent Smith, he's been cutting his hair "for 25 years" and relies on the Flowbee.
