Actor George Clooney has been named Hollywood's most-gracefully ageing male, for refusing to dye his greying hair.

The 53-year-old topped a list of "Tinseltown's leading 'Mags' Men Ageing Gracefully" - in a survey by a Britain-based hair transplant centre, reports hollywood.com.

His close friend Brad Pitt, 50, came second in the list of male stars who have stayed sexy with age. Johnny Depp, 51, was placed third.

The top five was rounded out by `James Bond` star Daniel Craig, 46, and Australian star Hugh Jackman, 45.

The survey of 1,000 movie fans was conducted on behalf of the Crown Clinic in Manchester, England and featured dozens of male stars over 40 who have embraced ageing.
