Los Angeles\u2014 Hollywood actor George Clooney has shared his thoughts on his iconic 1980s mullet hairstyle and his early television career, recalling fond memories from his time on the sitcom The Facts of Life.<\/p>\n

The 64-year-old actor discussed his hairstyle during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! while promoting his upcoming film Jay Kelly, according to People magazine.<\/p>\n

As Kimmel showed throwback photos of Clooney sporting a thick, dark mullet from his Facts of Life days, the actor responded with humour. \u201cLook at that hair! That\u2019s a mullet, dude,\u201d Clooney said.<\/p>\n

Kimmel then displayed another image of Clooney with co-stars Nancy McKeon, Lisa Whelchel, and Mindy Cohn. \u201cIf you notice, Nancy and I have the exact same haircut,\u201d Clooney joked, to which Kimmel replied, \u201cYeah, you\u2019ve all got the same haircut \u2014 it\u2019s like there was one hair place in the \u201980s and everyone went to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reflecting on his hairstyle evolution, Clooney said, \u201cLater, it got longer in the back and shorter at the sides, as you do.\u201d When asked who was responsible for the haircut, he added, \u201cI don\u2019t know! It wasn\u2019t my fault. My parents weren\u2019t taking me to the barber in the \u201980s.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clooney first appeared on The Facts of Life in 1985, a role that helped launch his career in Hollywood. He continued to wear his longer hairstyle into the early 1990s before cutting it short for his breakout role as Dr. Doug Ross in the medical drama ER.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the actor underwent another notable hair change, dyeing his signature grey hair dark brown for his Broadway debut.
