Written by former Simpsons writer Larry Doyle, I Love You, Beth Cooper is a comedy about a nerdy high school valedictorian (Paul Rust) who declares his love for the most popular girl in school, Beth Cooper (Hayden Panettiere), during his graduation speech. Much to his surprise, Beth shows up at his door that very night and decides to show him the best night of his life. And in one locker room scene, the Heroes actress drops her towel.

"It didn't bother me much," Panettiere said of shooting the "reveal." "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."

Though Panettiere has no qualms about ditching her clothes to go nude in a film, she still deals with body image issues.

"The older I get, the more comfortable I get with it," she added, "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."

"I have the body that I have and that's not going to change," added Panettiere, who also tries to maintain a healthy lifestyle. "I try to stay as healthy as I can."

At present, Panettiere is gearing up for the fourth season of Heroes, where she plays Claire Bennet.
