The former 'Saturday Night Live' member admits he finds it embarrassing to watch himself on screen because he is not really fond of the way he sounds and looks.

AceShowbiz - Bill Hader dislikes watching himself on screen. The 44-year-old actor has featured in a string of hit movies during his career, including "Superbad", "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", and "Trainwreck" - but Bill still hates seeing himself on the big screen.

"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," Bill told The Independent when asked if he struggles with body image. "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", the long-running comedy sketch show.

The actor can still remember feeling uncomfortable about his on-screen appearance during his early years on the 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."

Bill actually suffered from anxiety and panic attacks during his time on "Saturday Night Live". And despite the acclaim he's received over recent years, his off-screen issues haven't eased at all.

Bill - who starred on the comedy show between 2005 and 2013 - said sarcastically, "I got that review, and I was like, 'You know what? My anxiety went away.' I got an award and walked off stage, and went, 'Wow. I'm not on fire anymore.' No, I do have very bad stage fright, and I do get very, very anxious before I have to go in front of a group of people."
