Move over, George Clooney. There's a new member in the silver fox club and his name's Hugh Grant!

The 52-year-old English actor looked as dapper as ever as he showed up for the London premiere of Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa, sporting neatly trimmed grey hair.

Per the U.K.'s Daily Mail, the natural-looking tresses come just two weeks after Grant was spotted with a much darker locks at a literary event at the Get Reading Festival in Trafalgar Square.

No doubt his female fans like the charming Notting Hill star either way, but it's good to see him embrace the aging process.

Grant does not appear in Steve Coogan's crime comedy spinoff, but the two are said to be close pals and he turned up to support the funnyman. The film finds Coogan reprising his seminal role as narcissistic British TV presenter and DJ Alan Patridge who's thrown for a loop when his employer is taken over by a giant media conglomerate.

The father of two has been taking it easy of late. With the exception of a voice role in last year's animated film The Pirates! Band of Misfits, his last big-screen flick before 2012's Cloud Atlas was the 2009's Did You Hear About the Morgans? with Sarah Jessica Parker.

Grant however is slated to reunite with the latter movie's director, Marc Lawrence, for an untitled comedy with Marisa Tomei about an Oscar-winning writer who ends up leaving the business to teach screenwriting at an East Coast college and falls for a single mom.

And Hugh has a highly anticipated sequel on the horizon, Bridget Jones Baby, which is currently in development and will reunite him with costar Renee Zellweger.
