At just 5ft 2in, Hayden Panetierre isn’t exactly the tallest actress in Hollywood. But the diminutive star looked even smaller today when she was accompanied by her giant boyfriend boxer Wladimir Klitschko who stands at a massive 6ft 6in. The Heroes actress’s flat shoes didn’t exactly help her out as she and Klitschko grabbed lunch at Il Pastaio restaurant in Beverly Hills.

She has been dating the 34-year-old Ukrainian since late last year. 'I've never had an athlete as a boyfriend before, and it's an exciting experience,’ she said recently. The 20-year-old star looked happy, if a little small, in denim shorts and a loose tie-dyed peach top. She recently had her long blonde tresses cut into a stylish crop. Heroes, the TV show which made Panettiere famous, was axed in March by the U.S. NBC network after a dramatic loss in viewers. But creator Tim Kring is keen to bring the drama back for a mini-series in order to wrap up loose ends. Meanwhile, Panettiere has joined the cast of horror flick Scream 4, where she will star alongside Courteney Cox and Emma Roberts.
