Baring it all. Cheyenne Jacksonshowed off a large surgery scar on his head for the first time and revealed it was the result of five hair transplants that he’s had over the course of 14 years.
While it’s not hard to remember recurring favorites on American Horror Story like Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson and Jessica Lange, the same can’t be said for one season — or even one episode — guest stars, such as Adam Levine, Jenna Dewan and Naomi Campbell.

“I’ve been DREADING this day for 17 years. The day when my horrible secret would be revealed,” the American Horror Story star, 44, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, May 23. “No, this gnarly scar across my head isn’t from life-saving brain surgery, nor did I narrowly survive a shark attack. It’s worse. (At least in Hollywood…) I had hair transplant surgery. 5 of them, to be exact over 14 years.”
Jackson acknowledged that some people might find his confession superficial but he said that his hair transplants have caused him “shame & anxiety” throughout his life.
“I started losing my hair around 22. My older brother was balding too, but was way braver & cooler & just shaved his off,” he recalled.”It was really emotional for me to watch it fall out & I felt less attractive & truly less like myself as the days went on, so I saved up and got my first surgery at 28. I hid it from everyone. It was painful & expensive but I started to feel better about myself.”

The Descendants 3 star explained that his hair “kept thinning” over the years and he continued to undergo secret procedures while praying “that no one would find out.”
Jackson believed that his insecurity stemmed from being “a vain actor in an industry that rewards beauty” and he promised himself that he would never reveal his secret.
However, the Washington native finally decided it was time to come clean about his hair transplants after realizing it wasn’t that important amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“I’m sharing because maybe this will inspire someone out there to share a secret they’ve been hiding, or show a scar that they’ve been afraid of anyone seeing. Let it go. What I’ve learned during this pandemic is that s–t like this just doesn’t matter,” Jackson wrote.

He added, “I’m trying to teach my kids to accept themselves & to be proud of who they are, & to put value on things that are IMPORTANT & REAL so as their father, the example should start with me. This is that. I’ll go first. #ShowYourScars.”
