Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere has said she 'never pretends to be perfect'. The 20-year-old beauty plays cheerleader Claire Bennett in the hit supernatural show Heroes and said that she has flaws just like anybody else. "Look, I never pretend to be perfect. I will never in a million years say I'm perfect and don't make mistakes or do silly things or what people would consider inappropriate, of course I do." "I am not perfect and I did not stand up on a podium saying: 'Vote for me! I want to be your role model!' It's very flattering and wonderful younger kids and adults want to look up to me, slash know what I'm doing everyday and have inspired them to do something. "It's exciting and flattering, but I would never want anyone to hold me to that standard, to hold me to being perfect or flawless in any way because I definitely have my flaws."
