We always thought life must be tough for poor Hayden Panittierre


 

Being beautiful, a successful actress and part of Hollywood's golden couple at only 18 must be really stressful. Yeah right!

But Hayden has recently opened up about her relationship with Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia and how people have reacted to the 12 year age gap.


Hayden is convinced that although there are advantages to dating a fellow celebrity, they have to make an extra effort to ensure their relationship survives the stresses of the Hollywood industry.


And keeping their love affair as private as possible is her top priority.

She says: "It's nice to be in the same industry. You often get invited to the same things, which is handy!

"(But) there is no good thing about being a couple in Hollywood. People make their own opinions about everything, and they like to be very judgemental about things they know nothing about.

"You just have to hope that if you don't put it out there too much then they will have less to say about it." 

Well, you sound like a very mature young woman to us H!

Heroes Season 2 starts next Thursday on BBC3. We've seen it and it's ace!
