Hayden Panettiere happy to drop her towel in new movie

Hayden Panettiere has revealed she had no problem with taking off her clothes at the start of her career. "If I can't flaunt it at 20, come on!" Panettiere said while promoting her new film I Love You, Beth Cooper. "I mean I might as well show it now." Panettiere drops her towel in the movie in which she plays a cheerleader, Beth Cooper, who is the object of Paul Rust's affections. Of the locker-room scene she said: "It didn't bother me much. I think when the person who's doing it gets all uncomfortable and shy, then it's other people around who get more uncomfortable because they're uncomfortable. "I mean I was fine – everyone was really professional." Nonetheless, Paniettiere says she has body image issues, adding: "The older I get, the more comfortable I get with it but I still have my days where I don't feel great and I'm having my fat day where I have to put something baggy on and sweatpants. "Or just with the way people perceive me. I have plenty of insecurities. I have the body that I have and that's not going to change. "I try to stay as healthy as I can." Panettiere will appear in season four of Heroes, which returns to NBC in late September.
