Hayden Panettiere’s SHOCKING Confession About Her Acting Break!

BBG News

Hayden Panettiere revealed that the unexpected four-year hiatus from acting turned out to be beneficial for her health instead.

The well-known singer from Nashville, aged 35, who has spoken openly about her struggles with alcohol and substance abuse, expressed that she urgently required some time away.

For a period of four years, events unfolded in such a way that I ended up taking some time away. It wasn’t something I deliberately planned or knew would happen, but that was the course my life took, as I shared with Us Weekly during our conversation about my upcoming movie, A Breed Apart.

In my own words, acknowledging the challenges I’ve faced recently, I must admit that what followed was a much-needed respite for me – a moment to rejuvenate and regroup, given the past speculations about my speech and the complexities in my personal life with Brian Hickerson.

Hayden expressed a sense of increased stability and connection with reality as she navigates our chaotic contemporary world, having returned to acting in 2023.

The star then explained that the new version of herself is always ‘evolving and changing.’

It’s beneficial to consistently strive for personal growth, which I always aim to do in order to continually reshape ourselves, uncover new insights about ourselves, our desires, preferences, and aversions, and much more.

I’ve never felt quite like myself in this way before, not as comfortable with who I am without constantly apologizing for my thoughts. It feels like I’ve finally reached a point where I can confidently express my opinion.

Apart from that, she acknowledged her dependable network for motivating her to get back into acting and keeping her hopeful regarding the future.

Regarding her latest horror-comedy movie titled “A Breed Apart”, she shared that what attracted her most to the role was its action aspects. She found it thrilling as it allows for some fun, even physically engaging scenes, giving her a chance to showcase her agility.

Additionally, we’re skillfully managing cameras, creating a harmonious blend that enhances our work in an extraordinary way. This added dimension significantly enriches our tasks.

After wrapping up her stint on the TV series “Nashville” in 2018, Panettiere decided to step away from public life for a while.

For some time afterward, she openly shared her battles with substance abuse involving alcohol and drugs. This situation eventually resulted in her daughter Kaya, who was then nine years old, residing in Ukraine with her ex-partner, professional boxer Wladimir Klitschko, aged 49.

She also faced the grief of losing her brother Jansen to an enlarged heart in 2023.

Panettiere made her return to acting in 2023 with Scream VI, once again playing Kirby Reed.

A Breed Apart will be released in theaters and on streaming services on Friday, May 16th.

In a chat with Women’s Health magazine in 2023, the actress opened up about the reasons behind starting her path to sobriety back in 2021.

I’ve had trouble getting enough rest due to lack of sleep. A good night’s sleep is crucial, as it significantly impacts your physical coordination, cognitive function, and general well-being.

She expressed, “My body signaled, ‘It’s time.’ Turning 30, my face became puffy. I developed jaundice, causing my eyes to appear yellow. I was compelled to consult with a liver specialist.

‘I was holding on to weight that wasn’t normally there. My hair was thin and coming out in clumps.’

Last year, Hayden sparked concern for her health after ‘slurring words’ during interviews.

The actress struggled with opioid dependency and substance misuse earlier, however, she’s been maintaining her sobriety since the year 2021.

In September 2024, she shared with People her feelings concerning the unexpected death of her younger brother Jansen, who passed away at the age of 28 in February 2023 due to a previously undetected heart condition known as cardiomegaly.

The interview video, which raised some attention, quickly spread across various platforms – and during it, the celebrity talked about her daughter Kaya as well.

It was suggested by social media users that Hayden might have been under the influence or tired, given his noticeably slurred speech and overall appearance of exhaustion.

After some time had passed, I decided to address the questions raised during my recent interview with People directly, on my very own Instagram platform.

She shared with her audience, “I find myself in an unexpected situation, and I felt compelled to discuss it somewhere I wouldn’t be judged based on my pace of speaking.

Panettiere mentioned that, prior to the shoot, she had gone without sleep for two consecutive days because her pet required immediate medical attention and underwent surgery.

The workday consisted of an 8-hour filming session, which was followed by a one-hour on-screen interview. However, what appeared in People Magazine only covered the interview itself, leaving out its initial part. Despite this, I was quite tired.

My representative ended the conversation prematurely, as it became apparent that I was losing steam, particularly when the topic grew more serious.

Hayden requested a second chance for the interview, but was informed that it wasn’t required. Additionally, he was explained that the magazine doesn’t give permission for photos or video interviews until after they have been published. They will only view the interview once it is made public.

As a devoted fan, I wholeheartedly believe that everyone experiences grief uniquely. What may concern my personal use of medication, if any, should be kept private between myself and my healthcare provider.

She additionally remarked, ‘At the heart of this matter lies the harmful nature of social media platforms and a news sphere fueled by sensational headlines.’

‘The wellbeing of our minds truly matters, and I trust it’s clear that words exchanged online can potentially cause harm to others.’

By rephrasing the original statement in simpler language with a more conversational tone, the message remains the same but is presented in a way that is easy for most people to understand.

Hayden expressed appreciation by saying, ‘I’m deeply thankful for those standing by me during the turbulence. As I’ve mentioned earlier, we’re all constantly evolving and improving.’

However, she sparked worry once again as she sat down for a separate interview on Today.

In the course of the interview, she spoke about her movie titled Amber Alert, while also discussing her deceased brother and issues surrounding mental health.

About her emotional state after her brother’s passing, Hayden expressed, “I assumed understanding and compassion from others would be all I needed, but I was unprepared for how my physical self, my psyche, would respond to the pain of grief.

‘It’s wild what stress and grief and all these hormones and running through your body can do…’

She explained, ‘In other words, my mother, under stress, would become quite upset. And while I shouldn’t be saying this, she would develop tension headaches. They can manifest in various ways, so no one should feel ashamed about experiencing them, and nobody should judge someone for it.’

When asked about whether she has come to terms with her brother’s passing, Panettiere acknowledged, “I’m not sure if I completely have. It seems like something that changes as time goes by.
