Early Life
There has been a lack of certainty when it comes to the birthday of Tommy Wiseau. To begin with, he once gave an age that as of that time indicated that he could have been born either in 1968 or 1969. However, there came yet another source that didn’t rhyme with the years mentioned above. It was none other than the girlfriend of his brother. According to her, having obtained his papers regarding his U.S. immigration, the year must have been earlier than he claimed. It must have been one in the 1950s.
His origin was not precise for a long time as well. However, he confirmed his European descent in November 2017. The following month, he told Howard Stern that he was not only a Catholic, but he also speaks French. A year before that, there was a rumour that he had originated from Poznan city.
One would wonder what is straightforward with this man. That is because there is a conflict with his birth name as well. Is it Tomasz Wieczor, Tomasz Wieczorkiewicz or none of the above? All the fans can hope for is that he will clarify it someday. He obtained his current name after becoming a U.S. citizen.

Tommy migrated to the United States. At first, he lived in Louisiana but later moved to San Francisco. He claims to be a holder of a psychology degree from the Laney Community College, Oakland.
