In no mood to be photographed, Hayden Panettiere was spotted out to eat at Katsu-Ya restaurant in Los Angeles on Friday night (June 19).

Dressed casually and sporting her spectacles, the “Heroes” hottie covered up her face as paparazzi snapped up shots as she hopped out of a cab and headed into the popular Japanese eatery.

Meanwhile, Miss Panettiere recently chatted with press about her thoughts on being a role model.

She tells, “I think the only problem with attempting to be a role model is the fact that you just want to go, ‘okay, I’ll be a role model for you. I’d love to, but don’t expect me to be perfect because I’m not and I do screw up and I do make mistakes and I can’t always think of everyone else and what they’re going to say’.”

Continuing on, Hayden adds, “Because at the end of the day the only person you can make happy is yourself. No matter whether it’s wrong or right or looks good or looks bad, somebody will hate it. Somebody will.”
