Hayden Panettiere is looking for a confident lover

The 'Heroes' actress, who has previously dated her TV co-star Milo Ventimiglia and British TV presenter Steve Jones, is attracted to men who can make her laugh and handle her celebrity status.

The 19-year-old star said: "I like guys who are confident but not cocky. There is a type of confidence that you know isn't fake or put on because that person is secure in themselves. I find that very attractive and sexy.

"Also I like guys who are laidback and who can make fun of themselves. Of course, it's important that someone can handle the type of life I lead too, which is all about cameras and people making stories up about you. That can make both people feel angry or insecure, which can ruin a relationship."

Hayden claims she makes a great girlfriend because she is trustworthy and is fully committed to a relationship when she falls in love.
