Panettiere: 'I'm not a normal teenager'

Hayden Panettiere has admitted that she doesn't live the life of a normal teenage girl.

The actress said that appearing in Heroes has severely altered her lifestyle, claiming she couldn't remember the last time she bought a cup of coffee.

Panettiere told Grazia: "Do I have time to be a normal teenager? Absolutely. Am I a normal teenager? Absolutely not.

"It impacts on your life incredibly. Even walking down the street - I can't remember the last time I walked around the corner to get coffee."

The TV star also defended former teenage sensation Britney Spears, arguing that the media "built her up" before knocking her down.

She commented: "No one gave Britney enough room to heal. She was the epitome of beauty. She was everything to every teenage girl when I was growing up. And we built her up and ripped her down."
