‘I’m Feisty, Edgy’

Hayden Panettiere isn’t as innocent as she first seems — she’s actually rather “feisty”. The actress, 19, insists her personality doesn’t reflect the way she looks.

“I wouldn’t call myself a dark soul, but I’m feisty and I can be very edgy,” she said. “Being my size and having blonde hair, with a sweet, innocent-looking face is interesting because that’s not who I am.

“I’d never describe myself as innocent or sweet — those are two words I really would not use to describe myself, ever.”

“I think I’m very much judged on my age,” she added. “I’ll be in conversations with people and they’ll ask me how old I am. I’ll cringe and then answer, and you can see that their whole demeanour changes.
