Ameerika telekompu paljastas, et talle on VIIS korda juukseid istutatud

"American Horror Storyst" tuntud USA näitleja ja laulja Cheyenne Jackson peab meeleheitlikku võitlust juuste hõrenemisega.

44aastane staar tunnistas laupäeval Instagramis, et talle on 14 aasta jooksul tehtud viis juustesiirdamist, ning avaldas ehmatava foto pead ümbritsevast armist. "Olen seda päeva 17 aastat kartnud. Päeva, mil mu kohutav saladus ilmsiks tuleb."

I’ve been DREADING this day for 17 years. The day when my horrible secret would be revealed. 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. My inner monologue is “Really Cheyenne? With everything that’s going on in the world, you’re CONFESSING that you had hair surgery? Get over yourself.” I get it, but I’m admitting this really, to RELEASE how much shame & anxiety I’ve had about people finding out for years. I started losing my hair around 22. My older brother was balding too, but was way braver & cooler & just shaved his off. 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. Over the years as my hair kept thinning, I kept secretly getting more procedures & would just pray that no one would find out. Why? Why did I care so much? What does that say about me? Being a vain actor in an industry that rewards beauty, I vowed to keep this my secret forever. I feel SO stupid saying that but it’s my truth. As if someone finding out would somehow negate my talent, or make me less viable or valuable in the world. At the beginning of every job, I’d secretly gather the hair & makeup people, dramatically close the door of the trailer, & make a big deal about REVEALING my devastating truth. Every. Single. Time. they basically said “ummm...yeah...so?” NO ONE CARED BUT ME! 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 shit like this just doesn’t matter. 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

Cheyenne'i sõnul hakkasid tema juuksed hõrenema umbes 22. eluaasta paiku. "Ka mu vanem vend hakkas kiilanema, aga tema oli palju vapram ja cool'im ja lihtsalt ajas juuksed maha." Cheyenne aga elas kiilanemist väga raskelt üle. Ta tundis end järjest inetumana ja võõrama. Kogunud raha, lasi ta 28aastaselt esimese juustesiirdamise teha. "Varjasin seda kõigi eest. See oli valus ja kallis, aga mu enesetunne hakkas paranema." Juuksed aga hõrenesid edasi ning nii on näitleja pidanud veel neljal protseduuril käima. 

Jackson tunnistab, et kavatses oma saladust surmani hoida. Ta avaldas seda vaid iga tööprojekti algul meigi- ja soengukunstnikele. Tema üllatuseks ei pidanud keegi seda isegi märkimisväärseks. "See ei huvitanud mitte kedagi peale minu!"  Cheyenne tahab oma avameelsuse kaaskannatajaid inspireerida. "Mõistsin pandeemia ajal, et sellised tühised jamad pole üldse tähtsad."

Jackson on abielus näitleja Jason Landauga. Nad kasvatavad kolme ja poole aastaseid kaksikuid - poissi ja tüdrukut. "Tahan õpetada oma lapsi endaga leppima ja enda üle uhkust tundma."
