Actor Bill Hader no longer signs any autographs, and he has a pretty good reason for saying no to people coming up to him and asking for his signature. Hader appeared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast and said a “f**ked up” situation involving Star Wars made him refuse to sign any further autographs.
Hader used to sign things for fans, but things took a turn for the worse after he provided voice work for BB-8 in the new Star Wars movies. Hader said a father kept his child up in the early hours of the morning to find Hader and ask for an autograph–but not for him, and not for a good reason. Here’s the story (via Variety):
“You know what it was? I used to sign stuff, and then one time I saw somebody and they had their kid come up to me to sign a BB-8 thing and it was three in the morning. I was leaving the Inside Out premiere and then we went to an after-party thing and it was super late and this guy kept his kid up all night. [He] was like, ‘Go over there so he’ll sign it so I can sell it online.'”
