I was browsing the DVD releases at Target this weekend, and saw the box for Bring it On: All or Nothing. I did a double-take, because right there on the cover was Claire Bennet from Heroes:
Yes, shortly before Hayden Panettiere played a cheerleader with super-powers on Heroes, she played a cheerleader in a direct-to-video sequel to Bring it On. The uniform is even the same color scheme!
She’s probably safe from being typecast, though. She’s done quite a bit of work, and something tells me Claire isn’t going to be cheering—or particularly cheerful, for that matter—anytime soon.
Edit: Forgot to mention, the Heroes Wiki is a fascinating and addictive site.
We did the same double-take in Costco a few months ago….
I love Hayden she is just the best, and I love Bring it on too! I saw they were going to be showing it on ABC Family on March 25th! I am so excited 2 of my favorite things!
Yeah, she was also an ice skater, as Ice Princess is making the rounds on Starz and Encore.
I don’t watch the show, but that’s an interesting coincidence.
I hope she’s not type cast!
