Hayden Panettiere doesn’t get starstruck on the Hollywood scene — because she’s met almost everyone there is to meet.

However, the actress, 19, does admit she got a little flustered when she first crossed paths with George Clooney.

“I don’t get starstruck any more,” she told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper in a new interview. “Well, I say that but I did get star struck recently.

“I met George Clooney and I love him to bits. He’s such a normal guy and I had such a fun time chatting to him. I met him at a friend’s house. It’s crazy how things like that happen all the time in LA.

“I’ve met almost everyone there is to meet, even if it’s just been a quick hello. I’ve got to chat to some really cool people. I haven’t met Katie Holmes, but I’ve met Victoria Beckham. She is very sweet and very funny. Victoria has a self-deprecating sense of humour, which is so charming. I mean, she’s Posh Spice.”

So, does Hayden enjoy being in the spotlight? “When you’re doing it for work it can be fun, but in my personal time I don’t want to go out where I’m going to be met with cameras,” she said.

“I do go out occasionally. I have friends who like to go out and party, but I would much rather bring a group of friends to my house or somewhere I know I can let my guard down. It’s not fun for me until I can let my guard down.”
