ONE OF THE HOTTEST STARS TO EVER ROCK THE UNIFORM MAY HAVE PLAYED A *HERO* - BUT IN REAL LIFE SHE WAS SUFFERING WITH SOME MAJOR BODY ISSUES.
IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT HAYDEN PANITERRE EVER HATED HER FAB PHYSIQUE THANKS TO ONE WORD “CELLULITE”.
THE STAR TELLS “WOMEN’S HEALTH,” HER OFF-CAM CONFIDENCE WAS CRUSHED AT ONLY AGE 16 WHEN A TABLOID PRINTED A PIC OF HER BACKSIDE... BRANDED WITH THE WORD “CELLULITE.”
“I WAS MORTIFIED," SHE UNDERSTANDABLY ADMITS. "IT GAVE ME SUCH BODY DYSMORPHIA FOR SO LONG." THE CONDITION'S A LEGIT MENTAL ILLNESS, MARKED BY EXCESSIVE CONCERN OVER SELF-IMAGE.
THOUGH NOW, AT 23, HAYDEN SAYS SHE’S FINALLY AT PEACE… WITH A MUCH BETTER HANDLE ON BEAUTY: “I REMIND MYSELF THAT IT’S AN OPINION, NOT A FACT. THAT HAS ALWAYS MADE ME FEEL BETTER.”
AND, WHILE SHE CALLS EATING HEALTHY A “CONSTANT BATTLE,” HAYDEN’S FAVORITE HEALTHY FOODS ARE EGG WHITES AND FRUIT. HER OTHER FITNESS SECRETS? TAKING YOGA… AND THE STAIRS!
