Hayden Panettiere: Feeds The Sharks, Save The Whales!

Hayden Panettiere dives with a few sea creatures — sharks, turtles and manta ray — on Wednesday afternoon (April 1) at Ocean World in Manley, Sydney, Australia.

The 19-year-old Heroes hottie, who dated 31-year-old co-star Milo Ventimiglia, tell UK’s InStyle that she generally goes for older men. “I don’t date boys my age,” she said.

Hayden continued on about future family life, saying, “I always said I want four kids – I love kids. I would love to be a mom and to have a family – for Italians, it’s the most important thing you can have.”

As for her kids growing up in Hollywood, Hayden shared, “I think you have to be a pretty strong person to enter the industry that young and not be affected by it. I was lucky, but I’d never want my kids to be subject to that much criticism.”
