Panettiere: 'Heroes' keeps me in shape

Hayden Panettiere has said that she loves doing her own stunts on Heroes because it keeps her fit.

The actress, who plays the indestructible Claire Bennet, claimed she was always up for a physical challenge on the sci-fi show.

"I love doing my own stunts," she told the Mail on Sunday. "I don't have time to go to the gym, and I don't have a chance to be on teams anymore.

"Being on the set of Heroes keeps me in shape. I'll do as many stunts as they let me do. Not a whole lot scares me anymore. Nothing has ever freaked me out."

When asked what superhero power she would like, Panettiere commented: "I'd love to be invisible. It's the superhero power I'd want most.

"Not all the time, obviously, and not to spy on other people. It's just that once in a while it would be useful not to be seen."
