Biography

Small, fragile, with big eyes, Hayden Panettiere stands out among her fellow actors.
Hayden Panettiere is a Hollywood actress who gained popularity after her role as Claire Bennet in the TV series “Heroes.” Hayden is also familiar to TV viewers from her role as singer Juliet Barnes in the television series Nashville. She was born on August 21, 1989 in the American city of Palisade. Apparently, the acting genes were passed on to the girl from her mother, who was a famous actress when her daughter was born. Hayden’s father worked as a fireman and had an indirect relationship with art.

As soon as Hayden’s mother saw the makings of a talent, she decided to develop them. She initiated several commercial projects on air at the radio station and began periodically inviting her daughter on air. Having become comfortable in front of the microphone, the girl began appearing on television. Her first experience was a Playskool railroad commercial. And soon advertising directors began inviting Hayden Panettiere to other projects. It was an invaluable experience for a preschooler.

Movies

Panettiere first appeared in films at the age of four. The debut was followed by other roles, although episodic. During this period, Hayden starred in the projects “Unhappy Together,” “Touched by an Angel,” “The Object of My Attention,” “Message in a Bottle” and others.

She got her first big role in the film “Remember the Titans” in 2000. The audience and critics liked the work, and producers began to invite Hayden to lead roles more often. She played them in the films “Cool Joe,” “Gun Story,” and “Normal.” In 2004, the actress played leading roles in the dramas “Tiger Flight” and “Dust Factory”, and at the beginning of the next year - in the drama “Crazy Races”.

Hayden Panettiere felt her popularity in full in 2006, when the premiere of the comedy “Bring It On 3: All or Nothing” was a success. In this film, she played a beautiful schoolgirl leading a cheerleading team. The same year, the actress played a similar role in the TV series “Heroes”. True, her heroine had supernatural powers and was immortal. The series was popular with viewers.

Then there were roles in the projects “Mr. Gibb” and “Shanghai Kiss”. Directors and colleagues on the set noted Panettiere’s amazing ability to transform - she easily fit into all the characters.

In the winter of 2011, the actress tried herself in a new role - she played Amanda in the crime drama “The Amanda Knox Story.” The main difficulty was that the film was based on real events, and Hayden had to convey the character of a promising student who, on vacation, accidentally discovered a man with his throat cut.

In 2012, the actress had another central role - in the drama Carmel.

Then another bright project appeared in the actress’s life - the series “Nashville”, in which Hayden was involved in all seasons and continues to act today. In this musical-drama television series, Panettiere received the main role of Juliet Barnes.

This role brought the actress even greater popularity, as well as nominations for prestigious film awards. Hayden Panettiere was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Miniseries, Television Series or Movie, Satellite for Best Actress in a Television Series – Drama, and a Teen Choice Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series. But, unfortunately, the actress never received the awards themselves.

But, according to the Kinopoisk website, the actress receives $75 thousand for each episode of the series.

The actress's partner on the set was Connie Britton, who played the role of Rayna James, a famous country singer whose fame is inexorably fading, so she is forced to collaborate with a young artist who is just gaining popularity, Hayden's character.

Even before the premiere of the first season, the series received a number of positive reviews, as well as a Critics' Choice Television Award in the category "Most Exciting and Anticipated Television Series." Not surprisingly, the series was renewed for a second season shortly after its premiere. However, Nashville showed low ratings, the third season was released after long negotiations, and after the fourth, ABC closed the show altogether.

But for Nashville, the closure was not the final ending. On June 10, 2020, country cable network CMT and web service Hulu officially ordered a fifth season. And in 2020, information appeared that the final, sixth season, which contains a logical plot ending to the show, which is scheduled to premiere in 2020, has been ordered.

Personal life

Hayden loves to dance, does gymnastics, and rides horses.

The actress hardly talks about her personal life. In 2006, she had a short relationship with rapper Ne-Yo. Then journalists wrote about the actress’s romance with Milo Ventimiglia, her partner in the film “Heroes.” The actress denied these rumors.

And then the petite and fragile girl (the actress’s height is 153 cm) found herself a great protector. She was first seen in the company of Ukrainian boxer Vladimir Klitschko in 2009. The very next year, a wedding ring was noticed on Hayden’s finger, however, the couple soon broke up - for some time the actress dated football player McKnight.

In 2013, information appeared that Klitschko and Panettiere had reconciled and were going to get married. They planned to have their wedding in December 2013, but due to the tragic events in Ukraine they postponed the celebration. And a year later, the boxer and actress had a daughter, Kaya Evdokia. The press wrote that Hayden had to recover from postpartum depression for a long time, even being treated in a clinic. Hayden herself told fans about this on Twitter.

The actress asked for help voluntarily and independently. In an interview, Panettiere explained why she did not hide this fact. According to the actress, postpartum depression is a widespread problem that many women face.

But due to the fact that society does not understand this problem and condemns such young mothers (they are often called slackers or bad mothers who do not love their own children), women do not seek timely help. Therefore, Hayden is sure that we need to talk about this phenomenon as much as possible.

In 2014, the actress became another victim of a hacker attack. Unknown people stole personal photos from the actress’s account, where she poses naked on the deck of a yacht and in the bathroom.

Personal life of Hayden Panettiere

Two heroes

When Hayden began filming “Heroes,” she became close to another main cast member, Milo Ventimiglia. At first, the performers hid the relationship, and in the spring of 2008 they gave interviews to the media that they were a couple. The novel ended at the beginning of 2009.

Giant and Thumbelina

Fans of “Heroes” were disappointed and expected the couple to reconcile, but Hayden Panettiere’s personal life was changed by the Ukrainian boxer, Olympic champion and ex-world champion Vladimir Klitschko. The tabloids did not let this unusual couple out of their sight: the powerful, almost two-meter Vladimir and the fragile blonde Hayden, 13 years younger than his partner and 45 cm shorter than him. Just a giant and Thumbelina! Their relationship began in 2009, and in 2011 they announced their separation.

A new stage in the relationship between Klitschko and Panettiere began in 2013. They were planning a wedding, but so far limited themselves to an engagement. And soon Hayden became pregnant.

The daughter of an actress and boxer was born on December 9, 2014, her name is Kaya Evdokia.

Hayden Panettiere now

In 2020, after the news about the transition of the television series “Nashville” to cable television, the actress continued to star in the film in the title role. In 2020 and 2020, this project also served as the actress’s main work.

At the same time, Hayden Panettiere agrees to other projects. In 2016, the actress appeared in the drama Custody, which tells the story of the courtroom battle over child custody.

In addition to the actress’s creative biography, Hayden’s personal life also attracts the attention of fans and the press. The married couple Panettiere and Klitschko are called super-secret; information about the family life of celebrities cannot be obtained, and the spouses themselves are in no hurry to share details. Hayden does not even maintain an account on Instagram and is not active on social networks, but communicates with fans mainly on Twitter.

Such secrecy led to rumors about the couple’s separation at the end of 2020. But already in the winter of 2020, the paparazzi were able to capture Klitschko with his wife and daughter peacefully relaxing on the beach in Barbados.
