Hayden Panettiere says being famous is “a pain in the ass”
Heroes star Hayden Panettiere has revealed that becoming a star has turned her into a virtual recluse and that she finds being famous “a pain in the ass”.
“I don’t ever go out,” she says, of her life in Hollywood, where she drives everywhere to avoid being recognized on the street. “I stay at home. I go from garage to garage, and keep myself out of sight.”
The 18-year-old actress, who shot to fame after taking on the role of cheerleader Claire Bennet in the top-rated US drama, added, “I love where I live and that I have wonderful friends there and I love what I do, but it really has a major impact on your life.
“This business is very intrusive. People want to know what you’re doing every day, and it becomes less about your craft and your art, and your love for acting, than it is about when you put food in your mouth, or when you’re walking your dog.”
The teen star — who has been in showbiz since she was just 11 months old, when her mother Lesley – a former soap actress – got her cast in the first of more than 50 adverts. — then went on to blast Hollywood stars who are more concerned with being celebrities than they are with being actors.
“The interesting thing to me is, if you think about it, the glamor of Hollywood has been dimmed down by people that don’t necessarily love what they do or their craft,” she says. “I think people who are mainly in the public eye and deal with this [attention], a lot of them like it and enjoy it. I don’t really enjoy going out, it’s a nightmare in my opinion.”
