Hayden Panettiere has admitted that it upsets her when she is judged by those who don’t know her. The Heroes star is aware that being in the public eye means you will receive some negativity – but wishes people wouldn’t judge her based on the roles she plays – or what has been written in the press.
“People think they know me because they see me on TV or in movies – but the public don’t really know me,” Hayden told teen mag Shout.
“I’ve learned that no matter what you do, someone is always going to have a problem with it,” the ‘I Love You, Beth Cooper’ actress adds. “At the end of the day, the only person you can please is yourself.”
“I don’t like the idea that someone can see me on screen and say ‘Oh, I don’t like her.’ You don’t know that. You’ve never hung out with me and you’ve never had a conversation with me, so you don’t know that you don’t like me!”
And asked about the constant gossip surrounding her, Panettiere insists: “They’re all rumors. Don’t believe any of it. None of it is true.”
