HBO Star Jeff Hiller Opens Up About His Unique Appearance: 'I Know I Look Weird'

The Raw and Unfiltered Truth: Jeff Hiller Bares All in His New Memoir

Jeff Hiller, the 48-year-old actor and comedian who stole our hearts with his scene-stealing roles in HBO's "Somebody Somewhere" and American Horror Story: NYC, is finally opening up about the harsh realities of his life. In his brand-new memoir, "Actress Of A Certain Age," Hiller dives headfirst into the most intimate details of his existence, leaving no stone unturned.

At the center of this juicy tome is a candid chapter all about Hiller's hair – or rather, the lack thereof. As he shares with TheScholarlyNote.com, he suffers from frontal fibrosing alopecia, a rare condition that mainly affects postmenopausal women, causing eyebrow loss and a receding hairline. But don't worry, it gets even juicier.

Hiller reveals that his editor thought he might not "need" to include the chapter on his hair, eyebrows, and skin issues (caused by morphea, aka localized scleroderma) in the book. Talk about awkward! However, Hiller's determination to share this aspect of himself paid off in ways he never expected.

"I was expecting people to be like: 'Wow, Jeff, you're so brave for sharing this,' but nobody even mentioned it," Hiller confesses with a chuckle. "I thought I'd get all sorts of reactions, but what I got instead was crickets." Ah, the silence is deafening, isn't it?

Hiller's decision to write about his hair and skin issues wasn't taken lightly, though. He admits that this chapter was the hardest to craft, mainly because he's always been self-conscious about how people perceive him. As he explains, "When I first came out as gay, I did it because I wanted to make sure everyone knew – not just for their sake but also for mine."

With his memoir, Hiller is making a bold statement: he's unapologetically himself, and that includes the imperfections. He quips, "I know I look weird, and if you've Googled me, I already know." Talk about owning it!

As we dig deeper into Hiller's life story, we discover that growing up in Texas wasn't exactly a walk in the park for him. Young Jeff was often picked on because of his homosexuality, an experience he candidly writes about in his memoir.

"I forgave myself a little bit by writing about that," Hiller says with a tinge of vulnerability, "and I have a lot of compassion for my younger self." Who wouldn't be? That little fat kid with the perm from his mom's kitchen might just win over our hearts.

And just in case you were wondering, not everything made it into this tell-all memoir. Hiller slyly hints that he left out a few tidbits he thought were "maybe a little too much." Ah, we can only imagine!

So what does the future hold for Jeff Hiller? With his new memoir and his trademark wit, he's sure to keep us on our toes. Get ready to laugh, cry, and maybe even Google him (just in case).

As Hiller so aptly puts it, "I'm not a young, hot movie star that needs to be f*able to get my next role." With this kind of attitude, we can't wait to see what the future holds for this talented actor.
