Why do some child stars end up in rehab, while others prosper in Hollywood?
Hayden Panettiere, who has been acting since she was a baby, has managed to avoid the downward spiral of peers such as Amanda Bynes and Lindsay Lohan, but not because she wasn’t offered the same things as them!
In a new interview with the BBC, the Nashville star admits that she was exposed to drugs and alcohol at a young age, but was saved from the temptations by great people around her – and Breaking Celebrity News has the details.
“I'm no different to anyone else and those same doors were opened to me and they are very easy to walk through - drugs, alcohol, being in inappropriate places where you shouldn't be at a certain age - it's a very tough position to be in but I had great people to pull me back from it,” the 23-year–old revealed in a sit down interview with the British network, via The Daily Mail.
“Being a young female growing up in this industry is tough. And I grew up in the generation of the wild child. I was guilty by association. So everyone sits there and waits for you to fall off your horse.”
