Milo Ventimiglia has admitted he and his friends make fun of his status as a sex symbol.
Speaking at the BAFTA Television Awards after Heroes picked up the Best International Show prize, the actor said he finds “humour” in his heartthrob image.
“My friends make fun of me a lot more nowadays because of it. I’m just a normal guy with a day job like anybody else to them,” he said.
“When you get magazines saying, ‘Hey, that guy’s sexy’ or people scream it from their cars as they’re driving by – my friends and I find a lot of humour in it.”
Ventimiglia’s co-star Adrian Pasdar, who plays his brother Nathan Petrelli on the hit show, said he found it “silly” that people think of him as sexy.
Ventimiglia disagreed adding: “It’s not so silly. I get to stand close to him in every scene we do and we’re always touching. He is a sexy man.”
Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia is to feature in a series of comic books.
The actor, who plays Peter Petrelli in the NBC drama, has signed a deal with Devil’s Due Publishing to create a four-issue miniseries called Rest.
He and producing partner Russ Cundiff will develop the books via their Divide Pictures company, with Mark Powers (Drafted) attached to write them from a story by Mike O’Sullivan.
The issues will focus on the dangers of staying awake as the Ventimiglia-inspired central character becomes embroiled in a conspiracy between a malevolent pharmaceutical firm and the US government.
The project will be unveiled at New York’s Comic-Con today and published in the autumn.
If successful, the books may be made into a TV show or movie, reports Variety.
Ventimiglia can currently be seen in medical thriller Pathology.
HEROES star MILO VENTIMIGLIA has abandoned his dream of becoming a fighter pilot, after a vomit-inducing session in the skies.
The actor spent time with the Air Force Reserves during the recent Writer’s Guild of America strike, fulfilling a childhood ambition in the process.
He says, “There were three options: one I wanted to be an actor, two I wanted to be a doctor, and three I wanted to be a fighter pilot.”
But it didn’t end well for the star: “It’s amazing to see what those pilots do. But I got sick. There’s a before and after picture of me – before I went up and after I came down – looking crooked.”

While Hayden Panettiere is eager to move into an apartment with her boyfriend of just a few months, Milo Ventimiglia is calling himself single. In the upcoming issue of Cosmo, Milo tells the reporter he’s been single for a year. Here’s a snippet:
Cosmo: Do you get nervous on dates?
Milo: Yes. I’ve been single for a year and a half. It’s tough being witty for two hours.
Cosmo: Have friends tried to set you up?
Milo: Yeah, someone thinks you’d look “cute” together, but you share no interests and become combative. You just wish you were home, scrubbing your toilet.
That can’t be good for Hayden’s self esteem! Maybe he’s just messing with Cosmo, because they look like quite the couple lately. And he doesn’t appear to dreaming about scrubbing his toilet.

Heroes stars Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia have reportedly made plans to move in together.
Panettiere was spotted looking at houses in LA last weekend and has asked her co-star to live with her, reports In Touch Weekly.
A source said: “Hayden and her mother looked at several condos, mostly in the Beverly Hills area. Hayden really wants her own place.”
The actress’s mother gave her approval to Ventimiglia earlier this year. Reports claimed that the actor “fits in perfectly” with the Panettiere family.
