Hayden Panettiere used to be this star struck rookie that loved the fact that people knew who she was and was fortunate to meet people that she looked up to  and admired while going out at night. Recently the whole paparazzi thing has gotten the best of her. Sunday Mirror interviewed Heroes hottie recently and was told of how she hates going out since the paparazzi love to stalk her residence.

‘I don’t ever go out,’ she says, of her life in Hollywood, where she drives everywhere to avoid being recognized on the street. ‘I stay at home. I go from garage to garage, and keep myself out of sight.’ The 18-year-old, who has been catapulted into the A-list since taking on the role of cheerleader Claire Bennett in the top-rated US drama, admits she finds being famous ‘a pain in the ass’.‘I love where I live and that I have wonderful friends there and I love what I do, but it really has a major impact on your life. This business is very intrusive. People want to know what you’re doing every day, and it becomes less about your craft and your art, and your love for acting, than it is about when you put food in your mouth, or when you’re walking your dog.’
