Hayden Panettiere: “Please Don’t Call Me Lindsay”
Actress Hayden Panettiere hates it when people compare her to Lindsay Lohan, and she positively bristled when asked if she was “the next Lindsay Lohan.” It appears that Hayden wants to set herself apart from the reputation that Lohan has earned off screen, and instead focus her energy on her on-screen performances.
Like Lindsay, Hayden enjoyed early success as a child star that led to commercials and now adult roles. However, the Heroes star states that the comparison between her and the troubled Mean Girls actress should stop there - as they have both gone separate ways since landing their first adult roles.
According to Panettiere, “I don’t have anything mean to say about Lindsay. The thing about this business is, when you’re a young person - generally a young woman - you get pigeonholed. When you don’t fall off your horse right away, people will try to knock you off.”
“For example, the other day I was walking out of a bar in Hollywood, El Scorpio, with some of my Heroes castmates. Someone drove by and shouted, ‘Give them hell, Lindsay!’ I said, ‘Please don’t call me Lindsay.’ It’s sickening that people want to knock me down. They don’t know me!”
We look forward to getting to know Hayden a little better, as she continues her role as the indestructible cheerleader in the second season of Heroes this fall.
