Hayden Panettiere Details Magazine August 2009

Hayden Panettiere covered and gave an interview with Details for their August 2009 issue. The 19-year-old opens up about her paparazzi paranoia, having a high profile personal life and getting beat up in middle school.

On being different: “It wasn’t like I suddenly started feeling different. I always knew that I was. I never felt I missed out – in fact, it was like, ‘Oh, thank God I’m not that.”
On being bullied in junior high school: “I was tortured, emotionally tortured by these girls. Every time I came back from filming, it would be me trying to find my way back into the clique. And they weren’t having it.”
On her failed romance with pedo bear (Milo Ventimiglia): “When it comes to relationships, it’s nice to have something that is your own and not everyone else’s. That’s not part of my job. I never stood up on a podium and said, ‘Vote for me – I’m perfect. I’ll be this for you and never do anything wrong.’”
On her father’s arrest: “It’s turned my life upside down and shaken it,” Hayden stated frankly. “It was very tough, especially since it’s my family. It’s one thing if you do it to me. I get frustrated, but I can handle it. But when it involves my family, my friends, forget it—I lose my… I learned the game. The more I react, the angrier I get, the more satisfaction they get. That’s exactly what they want.”

The star’s new comedy, I Love You, Beth Cooper, is in theaters today (July 10).
