Despite being one of the most famous, not to mention lusted after, silver foxes of our time, Anderson Cooper says he actually pines for the days when he was a brunette.
âI donât really like my gray hair,â he confessed to Kelly Ripa this week. âI wish I still had my brown hair.â
Say what?! We canât imagine Anderson with anything but his signature silver locks.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The CNN anchor continued: âIf I could I would probably color my hair but I canât imagine sitting like at a salon with tin foil in my hair reading old copies of Rosie (magazine) for hours on end which is probably whatâs required.â
Chances are, however, thatâll never happen.
âAt this point itâs too late, the cow has left the barn,â Anderson said. âAt this point it would look ridiculous.â
Phew!

According to Anderson, his hair first started turning gray when he was in his 20s.
âI had brown hair then in my 20s had salt and pepper hair and now I keep thinking, âThereâs got to be some pepper in there somewhereâ,â he said. âI keep looking and thereâs no pepper.â
âIn my mind,â he added, âI still have brown hair so every time I look in the mirror I think, âWhoâs that old guy?â And itâs me! Plus, Iâve started to look like a White Walker from Game of Thrones. With the paleness itâs just too much.â
Oh, Anderson, quit being so hard on yourself.

He looks GREAT as a silver fox. He is marriage material.

He looks great with silver hair, but if he doesn’t like it he can always die it brown then.

Don’t dye, Anderson. Please don’t dye.

Queen please, you’re still getting plenty of dick.

Silver is a great color. But if Mr. Cooper wants to change, platinum blond might do it. Its just a shade lighter than grey anyway. Either way, Anderson Cooper is still amazing. Pant pant.

Hair coloring on men rarely looks flattering especially mature men. The skin changes as we get older and dyed hair doesn’t match the skin. Have you ever seen an older man with dyed dark brown hair that looks flattering? Natural always looks better. Now like Mitt Romney that dyes everything but the sides leaving them grey is okay and doesn’t look too bad, I noticed when he was in photos several years ago. It’s where they dye every hair on their head that looks bad. Some even their eyebrows and facial hair. Anderson is probably still young enough that he could dye his entire head of hair but he looks great as he is. Now that Rosie magazine comment…..

He looks hot either way.

@He BGB: That’s because no one has a uniform hair color. Combinations of light and dark. Brunettes are combination of reds and browns.

It’s like your lover… after awhile, you stop seeing the physical and just keep on loving the soul, the being, the HIM. It’s like0 your kids. Aren’t they the most beautiful things in the world?

The two pictures aren’t a fair comparison. The brunette one is him looking like a puppy dog that you just want to cuddle forever. đ

He looks better now than he did in his 20’s. It’s not just the hair colour, some guys start out awkward looking and improve with age. I think he is one of those.

Oh come on, I doubt he gets a quick 10 minute haircut like the rest of us. Also a professional salon can make it look natural and beautiful. Only those at-home dyes would look funny.

I’ve seen several very good looking men that are better with gray hair than trying to dye it back to whatever it was when they were younger. Anderson Cooper is definitely one of those, as is Greg Louganis. This customer where I work (who, sadly, married his husband last year lol) is that way. Just the right amount or dark hair left, but mostly gray, and it doesn’t really make him look old, in the way it would with some.
