Apparently Hayden Panettiere felt that Megan Fox was getting too much press so she decided to absurd herself as well, expressing fears that someone might confuse her with her TV personality.
And stab her.
“I’m just afraid somebody’s going to stab me one day and think that my power is real and they expect me to start healing,” she told Showbiz Spy. “I’ve been thinking about that since the first season.”
I just found her comment to be a little extreme. I am sure that actors deal with the worry that sooner or later someone is going to associate them with a character they play and make assumptions about them.
Perhaps Zack Braff is confused with a doctor for playing one on TV, or someone assumes Jack McBrayer is a gullable hick for his role on 30 Rock.
But in those situations a simple “No, I am not a doctor/pilot/slut/lawyer” comment would suffice.
But are there people really that crazy that they would walk up to a stranger and stab them just to seems a little extreme.
