We study the possibility of non-singular black hole solutions in the theory of general relativity coupled to a non-linear scalar field with a positive potential possessing two minima: a `false vacuum' with positive energy and a `true vacuum' with zero energy. Assuming that the scalar field starts at the false vacuum at the origin and comes to the true vacuum at spatial infinity, we prove a no-go theorem by extending a no-hair theorem to the black hole interior: no smooth solutions exist which interpolate between the local de Sitter solution near the origin and the asymptotic Schwarzschild solution through a regular event horizon or several horizons.
