Amanda Bynes fame may not be as hot right now as, say, Hayden Panettiere although to us they often represent the same Hollywood image as young, pretty, innocent, and all around great gal... a girl you would want to call your girlfriend. That's why it's hard to believe this 22 year-old Hairspray hottie is newly single, and despise the thought of getting married telling Cosmo,
“I love people who have goals,” she says. “Somebody who’s passionate about life and does their own thing.” Those are the qualities she says she tends to find in older guys: “A lot of them have dated enough to know what they want. Young guys want to sow their oats.” And while she’s dated actors in the past, Amanda, who’s currently single, has been steering clear of them lately. “Obviously, Chace Crawford is gorgeous, but I wouldn’t want to date him,” she says. “He’s too pretty. Maybe he’s a very smart guy and maybe he’s my soul mate [laughs], but that’s not the type I go for.”
Such strong opinions about what she does and does not seek in a boyfriend come from learning the hard way. One cheating ex, an actor whom she declines to name, “ended up breaking my heart,” she says. So much so that after the split, she moved back in with her parents for two months. “I was so hurt,” she admits. “I’m a confident person, but it killed me.”
But her heart is in her career and her next role will be bold saying,
“I’d love to do something that would shock people, something that’s against type. I feel like I’m starting fresh,” she says, a smile spreading across her lips. “I feel like people don’t know yet what I can really do.”
When questioned what her best feature is,
“My favorite part of my body is my smile. I have my mom’s.”
We couldn't agree more.
