Hayden Panettiere: ‘Fame Makes me Powerful!’
Posted by Adam
Hayden Panettiere loves being famous — because it makes her feel powerful.
The Heroes star says being in the public eye has given her the confidence to try and change the world.
“I get to travel across the world and meet amazing people,” the 19-year-old told the UK’s Cosmopolitan magazine. “And I also get a platform to speak out on things I’m passionate about, one of which is the Whaleman Foundation.
“I’m in a very powerful position and so I feel a responsibility to speak out for causes I believe in. It’s very empowering — especially for a young female.
“It’s sad but it’s true that there are people who can work their entire lives trying to change the world and someone who is in the public eye can come along and say one thing and they’ve done more for that cause than the other person ever could.
“Being able to make a difference feels amazing.”
But she added, “Sometimes I just want to be a normal person.”
