Bill Hader admits his daughters all find his acting roles 'so embarrassing'
Bill Hader has revealed his daughters' hilarious reaction to hearing him singing in new movie Cat In The Hat.
Bill Hader says his daughters are too embarrassed to even hear his voice on screen.
The 48-year-old actor, who has Hannah, 17, Harper, 14, and Hayley, 12, with ex-wife Maggie Carey has admitted his Cat In The Hat role has become another lighthearted source of contention with his three girls.
He told Extra: "They were there yesterday at the premiere and I think they were like, ‘Oh, man. It's your voice.’…
"Like, the minute it starts, it’s me singing a theme song and my daughter, my 14-year-old, was like, ‘Oh, God.’
"They were like, 'You're so embarrassing.'"
Bill voices the titular feline in Warner Bros Pictures' animated adaptation of the beloved 1957 Dr. Seuss classic.
Meanwhilw, middle child Harper had a similar response when she heard him as kelp bass Stan in Finding Dory when she was just five years old.
Recalling another premiere moment, he said: "She stood up and walked right out of the theatre and I chased after her… She was so funny…
"She was like, ‘Are you in this whole thing?’ Like, in this cute little dress and everything, like, ‘Are you in the whole thing?’ and I was like, ‘No, this is the only scene I’m in.’
"She was like, ‘Are you lying to me?’ And I was like, ‘No.’ She was like, ‘Okay.’ ”
Bill may have starred in a string of hit movies during his career - including Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Trainwreck - but he still hates seeing himself on the big screen.
Asked if he struggles with body image, he told The Independent: "You know, you have to watch yourself on screen. And that’s no fun, just in general. I don’t like the way I sound. I don’t like the way I look. It’s just embarrassing.
"But I’ll be 45 in two months, so the weight thing is more of a health thing now. You go to a doctor and they say, ‘At this age and height, you should weigh this.' "
Bill first rose to prominence as a cast member on Saturday Night Live, and he can still remember feeling uncomfortable about his on-screen appearance during his early years on the long-running comedy sketch show.
He said: "I wasn’t used to seeing myself on screen – you go, ‘God I look terrible,’ so you start exercising and jogging and stuff. I still ate like s***, though."
