The star has no interest in trying to look exactly like her younger,Four Weddings and a Funeralself.
“And to be an older person trying to be young, what an effort,” she shared.
“I just can’t keep up the charade!
I can’t!”
According to MacDowell, going gray was something she always wanted to do, even when she was young.
Instead, she looked to her father (andGeorge Clooney) for inspiration.

I thought that the idea of a kind of salt and pepper would suit me," she said.
“I thought it would look good on my face.
And when it started growing out during COVID, I saw I was right.
It looks good on me.”
The actor loved the way her new salt-and-pepper hair looked in the mirror.
As it was growing out, my eyes popped and the color of them looked a little different.
I liked the way my skin looked better.
It empowered me more.
I felt more powerful and I felt more genuine and I felt more myself.
MacDowell is embracing her grays today, but she’s open to changing things up in the future too.
“I can’t guarantee you, I don’t know.
I can’t tell you how I’m going to feel.
We have a lot of options.”
