Hayden Panettiere: ‘I’m Still Learning’
Posted by Richard Head
Hayden Panettiere insists her lack of higher education isn’t a problem when it comes to playing a university student.
Hayden’s indestructible character comes of age in the new season of hit show Heroes with her moving on to a college campus.
And the 20-year-old has never shared the experience she insists she has already graduated from the school of life.
“I spend so much time with the brightest and most talented and well-rounded people,” explains Hayden. “I’ve had the privilege of having long and very intellectual conversations with people and sometimes I just sit there and listen.
“It’s like a better version of a class. I’m not per se sitting at a desk and in school but I’m still learning all the time.”
Hayden recently revealed that she considers her status as a role model a “real responsibility”.
“Being a role model is a real responsibility because you’re judged so harshly and any little mistake you make could appear huge in other people’s eyes,” she said. “I worry a lot about messing up.
“People have to understand that I’m still young and I’m going to be selfish and do silly things that I’ll regret. I’m not perfect, and that’s really hard when so many young girls look up to you.”
