Hayden Panettiere was offered drugs in childhood

Los Angeles: Actress Hayden Panettiere, who plays the role of a country music singer in TV show ‘Nashville’, has revealed she was offered drugs and alcohol as a child star.

The 23-year-old, who shot to fame in US daytime soap ‘One Life to Live’ when she was six, has revealed she resisted offers of illegal substances and booze as a young girl in Hollywood. She credits her family and friends for the same, reports contactmusic.com. "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,” Panettiere told TV show BBC ‘Breakfast’. IANS
