Hayden Panettiere's new role in the upcoming movie 'I Love You, Beth Cooper' will give fans a lot more to look at than they normally get from watching her cheerleader 'Heroes' role.
The 20-year-old actress bares all in her new film, and as she tells PEOPLE, she has absolutely no problem with it while she's got youth on her side. "If I can't flaunt it at 20, come on! I mean I might as well show it now," Panettiere tells PEOPLE.

In the film, Panettiere (also a cheerleader in the movie) has a scene in a high school locker room, where she drops her towel.
"It didn't bother me much. I think when the person who's doing it gets all uncomfortable and shy, then it's other people around who get more uncomfortable because they're uncomfortable. I mean I was fine ? everyone was really professional," Panettiere says of her revealing scene.
But like nearly everyone, Panettiere willingly admits that even she has days where she's not feeling so secure in her physique.
"The older I get, the more comfortable I get with it, but I still have my days where I don't feel great ... and I'm having my fat day where I have to put something baggy on and sweatpants. Or just with the way people perceive me. I have plenty of insecurities."
