Here’s what we know about Hayden Panettiere’s “type” from looking at her last two relationships: She likes 'em short and skinny with black hair. But the 18-year-old actress says in the April issue of Seventeen magazine (on stands tomorrow) that her attraction to ex-boyfriend Stephen Colletti and current squeeze Milo Ventimiglia is way more than skin deep.
On what she looks for in a guy:
“I have to be with someone who’s driven. When they’re not, it becomes difficult. In a lot of relationships, you get in and you spend every waking moment with that person. But I’ve figured out that the healthiest relationship is where you each have your own life, but they meet in a nice point in the middle.”
On the downside to being outspoken:
“Even when I read articles about me — how you read my words is not always the way I said them. But I don’t need to prove myself to anyone. I’m not that kind of person. It hurts my feelings when I feel disliked by people — I’m not a generally dislikable person, you know? I think I’m a pretty decent, nice person.”
On her surprising BFF:
“Hilary [Duff] is one of the closer people to me in the business. She’s a very down-to-earth person. She’s humble, very sweet — she’s low-key.”
