Hayden Panettiere sparked a lot of conversation when she appeared on the cover of Glamour in May 2013 with her misspelled tattoo on full display. The I Love You, Beth Cooper star addressed the tattoo during her interview and revealed its unexpectedly sweet origin story.
“When I was younger, I was upset, and my dad said he wanted to show me something,” she explained. “He slammed one door of the bathroom, and the closet door popped open — it was a trick with the air. He said, ‘Whenever one door closes, another one always opens.’ So my tattoo means ‘Live without regrets.’ It’s not that you don’t regret things in life, but you at least try to learn from them. It’s misspelled too — so I literally have to live by that advice!”
Panettiere also admitted that, while young girls might look up to her, she wants fans to realize that she’s no one is Miss Perfect. “I will never say that I’m perfect; I will never pretend to be perfect,” she said. “That’s just unrealistic. You’re kind of unexpectedly put in this position of becoming a role model; that’s not something you choose.” If nothing else, her fans have learned to always consult spell check (and/or a native speaker) before putting words on permanent display.
