   Hayden Panettiere talks Wladimir Klitschko, the physical aspect of their relationship

After she split from her “Heroes” co-star Milo Ventimiglia in February 2009, Hayden Panettiere began dating Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko. Those wondering how the petite actress and the giant boxer handle the physical side of their romance need not worry: they make it work.

Hayden taped an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres the other day to promote the much-hyped “Scream 4” and, among other things, she also revealed which is the most awkward question fans ask her when they get the chance.

Though she doesn’t mind it all that much right now, Hayden says she was initially taken aback when fans would come up to her to ask her how she and Wladimir got along in between the sheets.

Eventually, she understood where they were coming from and why they were so curious, especially since the two of them couldn’t be any different: she’s 5’1” and he’s 6’6”, Us Magazine reports.

In fact, the difference in height even made it hard for celebrity bloggers to believe they were dating when they first started making public appearances together as a couple.

“He is quite a bit bigger than me. I get the prudest people coming up to me and they’re like, ‘Does it work?’ Yeah, it works. We find a way,” the diminutive actress told Ellen, as per the same celebrity publication.

“Where there is a will, there is a way,” Hayden added, when the talk show host voiced her surprise at people daring her to ask her such an intimate detail pertaining to her love life.

“[The people who ask me how it works with my boyfriend] are very conservative people most of the time but that just have to know,” the actress added.

“Like, ‘I have to know, I just have to ask you this question. I’m really sorry but…’ I don't mind it,” the star added.

Not only does she not mind having people ask her all sorts of question, but Hayden also seems to completely ignore negativism in the tabloids: they said they wouldn’t last, but they’re still going strong.
