If you watched Sunday’s Golden Globes, you may have been surprised to see Dexter’s Michael C. Hall accept his prize for best actor in a TV drama while wearing a stocking cap. Only days before, the actor had announced he was undergoing treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Backstage, he opened up to reporters about his illness. “It’s nice to have a justifiable excuse for accessorizing,” he joked. “I found this Japanese hat. I wanted something that was pretty simple, but maybe a little fancier than your normal thing.”

Seriously, though, he told EW.com: “When it’s a matter of health, it is very much a personal matter. I had every intention of keeping it quiet, but because the award shows were imminent, I figured I’d make a statement. It was also nice to assure people that I was really on the road to recovery.”
