Hayden Panettiere

Hayden Panettiere’s alter-ego on Heroes may be indestructible, but in real life, the actor has a soft spot for animals.

You may remember that Hayden is a vegetarian who fought for dolphins in Japan a couple of years ago. Well, the pint-sized star once again proved that she has a huge heart for animals by intervening in behalf of birds on the Heroes set. When some birds in a nearby tree disrupted filming, a member of the crew reportedly attempted to disperse them by blasting them with a huge leaf blower. That didn’t sit well with Hayden, who apparently sprang into action, shouting, “What are you doing? How would you like someone to blow that thing inside your house?” She made such a ruckus that the crew had no choice but to move the scene to a different location.

Kudos to you, Hayden, for always standing up for what’s right (and for kicking butt and taking names on my fave show). Milo, you’d best be good to our lady!
