HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Hayden Panettiere says she doesn't worry about Hollywood's definition of perfection when it comes to her figure because she's more than comfortable in her own skin.
"I don't have a model's body," the 18-year-old "Heroes" star confesses in the April issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. "But I'm not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they're fat. I'm okay with what I have. I can rock this body, you know."
While she remained tight-lipped on her rumored relationship with 30-year-old co-star Milo Ventimiglia, the actress does share a secret to winning her heart.
"I need somebody who is very secure," says Panettiere, who stars opposite Julia Roberts in the upcoming film "Fireflies in the Garden." "In this business, I'm constantly standing next to gorgeous people. My job is to make out with [attractive] men. Like, hello, who wouldn't be completely threatened by that? But at the end of the day, you have to realize that it's just a job."
The New York native says she realizes many are waiting for her to fall like so many other young stars, but it isn't part of her personality to let fame get the best of her.
"I think that people look at me as just another one of those girls who's going to screw up, like 'She's going to get into drugs, and she's going to get into the parties,' " Panettiere says.
"I have the occasional glass of champagne when I'm celebrating something, but generally, I don't drink," she adds. I'm a pizza-and-a-movie girl."
