One of the sexiest things about George Clooney is his perfectly salt-and-peppered hair ... and you can rest assured that he has no plans to reach for a bottle of hair dye anytime soon.

"You have to come to terms with getting older and not trying to fight it," Clooney said in an interview with the BBC, adding that there's "nothing fun" about the process. "I'm a big believer in the idea that you can't try to look younger. You just have to try to look the best you can at the age you are."

It's working out pretty well for the 54-year-old, who insists he won't be taking any extreme measures to look more youthful. When asked about plastic surgery or dyeing his hair, Clooney said, "Clearly, I haven't. For me, it isn't an issue or an option ... it wouldn't make much sense."

Of course, it's easy for him to say. The star is known for his trademark silver-flecked hair and was even voted the world's top "MAG" -- that's man aging gracefully, according to one poll. We couldn't agree more.

His final word of advice for embracing age? "You have a couple options, which is get older or die," he said. Plain and simple.

All we can say is Amal is one lucky lady.

Sexy Over 50 Men
The Kid(01 of12)
Open Image Modal
Who: Ralph Macchio, 50
Why: He kicked his way into the hearts of 80s teens as the David to Cobra Kai's Goliath in The Karate Kid. Macchio's baby-faced good looks made him a mainstay in other hits from the era, including The Outsiders and My Cousin Vinny, before he disappeared from the big screen. It wasn't until he appeared on Dancing With The Stars that we remembered Daniel-San is quite a looker. (credit:Getty)
The Smile(02 of12)

Who: Steve Martin, 66
Why: The comedian who brought belly-laughs to "Saturday Night Live" has introduced his audience to all of his talents over the years. Whether it is his memoir "Born Standing Up", his pieces for "The New Yorker", or his Grammy winning bluegrass album -- Steve Martin's clearly not slowing down -- and we don't want him to.
The President(03 of12)
Open Image Modal
Who: Barack Obama, 50
Why: Besides being the first African American to hold the office of President of the United States, the Harvard-educated Barack Obama has clearly kept his family a priority, taking on another role as assistant basketball coach, and, as his Father's Day essay reports, making sure his two girls still 'do their chores, make their beds, finish their schoolwork and take care of the dog,' regardless of their White House residency.

Who: Richard Branson, 61
Why: The British business tycoon has conquered just about everything -- including space. When Branson was 16, he started a magazine called Student, and hasn't slowed down since.

Branson has always enjoyed what he does, which is one of the reason we believe he is so successful. "For me business is not about wearing suits, or keeping stockholders pleased. It's about being true to yourself, your ideas and focusing on the essentials," asserts the billionaire.Branson is a representative of The Elders, a group determined to reach peace, eliminate suffering, and provide education around the world. This is one of his many humanitarian participations.Photo: Getty
The Sundance Kid(05 of12)

Who: Robert Redford, 75
Why: The two-time Academy Award winning actor has done more than star in some of the most memorable films of all time -- he's helped make sure movies get made. In 1969, Redford bought Timphaven Mountain in Provo, Utah - which he renamed, "Sundance" after his iconic role of "The Sundance Kid".

The Director(06 of12)

Who: Steven Spielberg, 64
Why: Although he made his make in films such as "Jaws" and "E.T.", his later films reflect a more serious nature. "Schindler's List", "Saving Private Ryan", and "The Color Purple" are examples of his work which resonate on greater cultural challenges. Spielberg has donated to numerous hospitals, charities, and disaster relief organizations.

Who: Howard Schultz, 58
Why: The former Chairman and CEO fo Starbucks is more than the man behind a good cup of coffee.

Schultz has lead with his soul, allowing him to act responsibly in his business ventures. He speaks out on his concerns of the global economic crisis and has been awarded numerous times for his charitable efforts. Specifically, the National Leadership Award, the International Distinguished Entrepreneur Award and the FIRST Magazine Responsbile Capitalism Award.
The Gentleman(08 of12)

Who: Tom Ford, 50
Why: The Texas born Fashion designer, style icon, architecture buff and Academy Award nominated director is one of the most important men in popular culture today.

Ford transformed the house of Gucci (which was valued at $4.3 billion when he started and $10 billion when he left) back into a Fashion powerhouse. Shortly after, he started Tom Ford - a brand, which when it started, was considered to be the epitome of a modern day gentleman's wardrobe. Although sometimes controversial, Ford has spoken out about his homosexuality and his opinions on monogamy and sexuality.

Who: Colin Powell, 74
Why: The retired Four-Star Army General and former (and frist African American) Secretary of State has done far more than serve our country, but we must make mention of it. Powell has received the Defense Distinguished Service Medal (with three Oak Leaf Clusters), the Army Distinguished Service Medal (with Oak Leaf Cluster), Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit (with Oak Leaf Cluster), Soldier's Medal, Bronze Star Medal and the Purple Heart.

Although his reputation was soiled in the now infamous WMD/Invasion of Iraq speech, Powell was since spoken out about reforming the intelligence community. An interesting fact about the former Joint Chief of Staff: He restores old cars as a hobby.Photo: Getty

Who: Dan Marino, 50
Why: Not only has the gridiron icon been ranked as the No. 25 football player of all time by NFL Films in 2010, but he has also raised more than $30 million with the Dan Marino Foundation to help children with autism, like his son, Michael. Married to wife Claire since the 1980s, the father of six is also an entrepreneur with a growing restaurant chain. (credit:Damon Scheleur)

Who: Alec Baldwin, 54
Why: While we wag our fingers at the actor's tendency for outrageousTwitter outbursts -- and extreme love of Words With Friends -- Baldwin's charm knows no bounds.

As SaturdayNight Live's most frequent host, the smarmy exec with the heart of24K gold on 30 Rock and the narrator of the phenomenal Frozen Planet series, we'll look the other way at the 54-year-old's morejuvenile tendencies. (credit:Getty)
The Anchor(12 of12)

Who: Matt Lauer, 54
Why: Co-host of NBC's "TODAY" since 1997, the dashing Lauer is the cream in our morning coffee, mixing the serious presidential interviews and reporting from the Middle East with the just-plain-goofy, including that "Where In The World Is Matt" travel segment thing and a recent smooch with Howard Stern. Only Lauer has the brains and the likability to strike the balance with panache. (credit:Getty)
