George Clooney says he’s been using a Flowbee to cut his hair for years
George Clooney doesn’t count a pair of scissors as his styling secret weapon.
Over the weekend, the 59-year-old actor made an appearance on CBS’s “Sunday Morning,” revealing he’s been his own barber for years.
“I’ve been cutting my own hair for 25 years,” Clooney said. “My hair’s really like straw, and so it’s easy to cut, can’t really make too many mistakes.”
Clooney credited a Flowbee, which is a “vacuum haircutting system” developed in the 1980s, as his longtime tool.

“Years ago, I bought a thing called a Flowbee,” Clooney said. “It comes with a vacuum cleaner and clippers, yeah. I still have it.”
“My haircuts take literally two minutes,” he continued.
Naturally, social media had a few comments about Clooney’s infomercial reveal.

“Fellow men: Using the Flowbee to cut your hair will NOT make you look like George Clooney. Just putting that out there before you spend your money,” one user commented on Twitter.
“Finding out George Clooney uses a Flowbee is the wildest thing I have heard in the last 24 hours,” another said.
The Twitter account for Clooney’s new film, “The Midnight Sky,” also weighed in on their leading man’s hairstyle.
“We can neither confirm nor deny the use of a Flowbee on the set of #TheMidnightSky,” the account posted Sunday.
The Oscar winner added he “wouldn’t” test the Flowbee on his wife of six years, Amal.
“I wouldn’t do it to my wife…,” Clooney said.
