Hayden Panettiere was left aghast when she saw the final version of her new movie I Love You, Beth Cooper - because she didn't realise just how much flesh was captured on camera during her nude scene.

The 19-year-old actress bares all for the new comedy, but didn't expect to see much of her naked body on screen due to the US PG-13 rating, which allows kids under 13 to see the movie when accompanied by an adult.

But Panettiere was left cowering in her seat when she attended a recent preview of the film, because her "side boobage" filled up the entire screen.

She says, "It's one of those things that you forget how much of your flesh is in it, until I saw it again and then I was like, 'Duck, duck!'. I knew they were doing it (filming a nude scene), but I didn't know it would be so big on the screen!"

Hayden gave a glimpse of her love for animals when she recently showed her pictures while swimming with dolphins.

The 19-year-old beauty showed off snaps of herself snorkelling with the mammals off the Bahamas to David Letterman on his 'Late Show'.

The 'Heroes' star has won awards from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) for protesting against the slaughter of dolphins by Japanese fishermen.

Hayden, who plays Claire Bennet in the series, is all set to feature in a documentary about dolphins.

The 'Heroes' star insists she wants to be best known for her acting ability and not her private life, citing Meryl - who has been nominated for an Academy Award 15 times - as the person she most admires.

Hayden explained: "I love acting. It's something I respect. It's something that makes me want to be respected for what I do. I'm working toward being a respected actress. Meryl Streep is it for me."

The 19-year-old actress revealed she finds being in the spotlight strange as she does not understand why anyone is interested in her life.

She told the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper: "Just because I'm in the spotlight doesn't mean I'm God's gift to the world. I do have cameras in my face all of the time. Fame leaves you no room to mess up even slightly, and things get turned around on you. That's why I feel you really do have to live your life conscious that people are watching. There are certain things you just can't do."

Hayden also revealed she is worried about being typecast, adding she dreams of being allowed to play a villain in a movie.

She said: "You don't play villains unless you're Sharon Stone when you're blond and you look a certain way. I think it would be exciting for me to play the bad guy in a movie. It would be a blast. I think it's so much fun to play bad."
