Was being Hannah Montana traumatic for Miley Cyrus? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

In a candid interview with CBS, she revealed how hard it was to separate herself from the character who made her a household name. “I toured as Hannah Montana and as myself,” Miley confessed. “I think that’s probably why something is wrong with me now. I mark that up as doing some damage to my psyche.” Yeah, it wasn’t all glitter and teen stardom behind that iconic wig.

Was I being both Miley Stewart and Hannah Montana for years? Major identity crisis vibes. One minute, she’s the teen pop queen with millions of fans; the next, she’s just a regular girl without the wig. “When I looked like myself when I didn’t have the wig on anymore, that no one cared about me,” Miley said. Heavy stuff for a 13-year-old to juggle, right?

Hannah...

Where Are They Now? Checking in on Former Child Stars - Main Image

Being a celebrity is no joke, and while some adults have problems with handling wealth and fame, several child stars had to deal with so much pressure at a much earlier age.

Child actors have been known to have very tough lives outside of the lighthearted shows they’ve been on, and their transition to adulthood is usually paved with all kinds of mistakes made public because of their status.

Not everyone manages to make the peaceful transition from child actor to just actor, and we take a look at the status of some promising young talents from before and where they ended up today.

Emily Osment

Emily Osment was introduced to the public eye as the best friend of Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) Lilly in Hannah Montana, and though she hasn’t starred in anything as big since the show ended,...

At 32 years old, she’s an award-winning musician, a critically acclaimed actress, a successful businesswoman, and the epitome of a social media influencer. Selena Gomez has accomplished more in her three decades of living than most do a lifetime, and it doesn’t seem as though she’s going to fade into the shadows of time as many child performers do. Scroll through our gallery above (or click here for direct access) to see our listing of the best Selena Gomez movies and TV shows, ranked.

Gomez was born on July 22, 1992, in Grand Prairie, Texas, to a young mother who struggled after her divorce from Gomez’s father. After watching her mother, an amateur actress, Gomez became interested in the entertainment industry, and received her first role in 2002, on a few episodes of “Barney & Friends.” After a few more bit parts, she received a recurring role on “Hannah Montana” in 2007, beginning her journey as a Disney star.

Every once in a while, the stars will align to make for some truly fascinating television, not because of anything going on in the script but because of the context of the actors involved. The short-lived 2000 TV series "Freaks and Geeks," for instance, is fascinating not just because it's good TV but because so many of the actors in it were just a few years away from becoming massive stars. 

Likewise, there's a 2007 episode of "Hannah Montana" that's interesting not because of the actual plot, which is pretty boilerplate relationship drama stuff, but because Larry David and Austin Butler are for some reason involved. Yes, that Larry David, the crotchety old man most famous for playing a childless, profanity-spewing jerk on "Curb Your Enthusiasm." And yes, that Austin Butler, the guy who recently played a hairless psychopath in "Dune: Part Two." 

Larry David was already pretty well-known by this point,...

Disney Channel is getting back into the scripted comedy game with two new live-action comedies set to debut in 2025!

Since the 2000s, Disney Channel has specialized in live-action comedies aimed at the tween market. That’s included now iconic shows like Lizzie McGuire, Hannah Montana, That’s So Raven, Wizards of Waverly Place, and more. It’s a great source of material for the channel and sparked scores of new stars.

It is interesting how Disney has joined in on the “sequel series” trend with Girl Meets World, Raven’s Home and the newly debuted Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. While there has been a buzz on cable networks cutting back on scripted series, Disney is still going strong.

Now, per TV Line, Disney is working on two big live-action series set to debut in 2025. One is a live-action take on a hit animated series while the other may introduce a hot new band to the Disney roster!

Here’s a throwback for the books: Katy Perry once kept little souvenirs from two of pop’s most prominent icons—and they weren’t autographs or selfies. It was a lock of hair from both Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus. Yep, you read that right. Hair. In her purse. Perry spilled the quirky detail during an audience Q&a at her Prism album release party for iHeartRadio, recalling that she’d snagged the locks at one of her first Grammy appearances.

“One of the first times I went to the Grammys, I got to share a dressing room with Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift,” Perry told the audience. “I asked them for a lock of their hair from each one, which is creepy but awesome.” And this wasn’t just some random,...

Selena Gomez’s career took off as she took on the iconic role of Alex Russo in the beloved Disney Channel series “Wizards of Waverly Place” — and now she’s paying it forward with her TV brother David Henrie.

For years, the two friends would have wine nights and discuss what their characters would be up to as they grew up. “We kept talking about it!” Gomez tells Variety at the “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” premiere in Los Angeles.

“It was so organic. We never felt any pressure,” Henrie says. “The original fan should know there was never a mandate to be like, ‘We have to make this show, now’s the time to make the show.’ It just came to a point where we were like, ‘Maybe we got something here.'”

The two brought their revival idea to Disney and the full-fledged reboot, “Wizards Beyond,” received a 21-episode order for its first season.

Is Tyrion Lannister the Most Underrated Character in Game of Thrones? Examining His True Impact. (Photo Credit – Facebook)

Let’s face it: Tyrion Lannister may be Westeros’s most unappreciated gem. Sure, dragons, battles, and morally gray antiheroes steal the spotlight, but Tyrion? He’s the guy who kept his humanity while everyone else was busy stabbing backs (and sometimes fronts). Yet, Tyrion’s depth often flew under the radar between slapping kings and schooling lords.

From day one, Tyrion was the ultimate outsider in a family of ruthless power players. His father, Tywin, saw him as an insult to the Lannister legacy, and Cersei? She’d probably have fed him to the dragons if she could. Despite all that, Tyrion became one of the most influential men in Westeros, wielding more wit than most did swords. He wasn’t out for just glory or the Iron Throne. No, Tyrion...

Ah, the sweet nostalgia of Miley Cyrus rocking the dual life of Hannah Montana! Remember when this girl-next-door-turned-pop sensation ruled our screens for five unforgettable years? Well, it wasn’t just about the catchy tunes and sparkly outfits. Miley was ready to shed the Disney mold. As she told Elle, “The minute I had sex, I was kind of like, I can’t put the f–king wig on again.” Yep, talk about a coming-of-age moment! At just 13, Miley snagged the iconic role. But by 18, she was ready to step into her spotlight.

This wasn’t just a regular career move; it was a transformation. Miley finally embraced her past and the character that helped her grow. “I feel like I’m just not ashamed of that anymore,” she shared, highlighting how Hannah Montana influenced her fans and...

Miley Cyrus became a Disney Legend playing the Disney Channel’s iconic pop star Hannah Montana.

The 31-year-old Grammy winner was only 13 when she was cast as Miley Stewart, a teen sensation who hid her offstage identity behind a blonde wig and a stage name. In the process of landing the role, she beat out some other big stars.

Miley grew up in front of our eyes playing Hannah until 2011, releasing music and even starring in a movie inspired by the character. After that, she went on to launch her solo music career, becoming the sensation she is today.

We did some digging to see who else could have been Hannah and discovered five actresses that auditioned for the part before Miley was cast. The list includes several other Disney Channel stars as well as a few musicians.

The Hannah Montana casting director has even revealed the top three actresses in the running,...

Hollywood is seemingly obsessed with serial killer stories, and one veteran actor is now relating his own, all-too real encounter with John Wayne Gacy.

Jack Merrill, whose decades-long career includes parts in Eight Men Out, Law & Order, Sex and the City, Grey’s Anatomy, Numb3rs and Hannah Montana, wrote this week about surviving abduction and rape at the hands of Gacy, a serial killer who sometimes dressed as a clown and who authorities say sexually assaulted and murdered at least 33 young men and boys.

Merrill says his assault happened in 1978, when he was 19.

“One night,” he writes for People, “I was walking home. A guy pulled over and said, ‘Do you want to go for a ride?'”

Merrill recalls that he accepted, only to be drugged and dragged to Gacy’s home.

“He put this homemade contraption around my neck,” writes the actor. “It had ropes and pulleys, and...

As reported by /Film on January 4, 2017, the Disney Channel canceled "Girl Meets World" after three seasons. Upon completing production on the show's third season, the "Girl Meets World" cast and crew had been patiently waiting to hear whether or not their series would be renewed for a fourth go-round. Instead, the show's aptly-titled season 3 finale, "Girl Meets Goodbye," became forever known as the final episode.

If you listen to "Pod Meets World," the podcast hosted by "Boy Meets World" and "Girl Meets World" veterans Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle, and Rider Strong, you'll get the sense that Michael Jacobs -- the co-creator and head executive producer on both shows -- is a very dogged and focused individual who knows what he wants and will do anything to get it. So, when fans raised hell on social media, he shopped "Girl Meets World" to Netflix and other platforms. However, after four months...

Just months after “Young Sheldon” aired its series finale, favorites Georgie and Mandy are back for yet another spinoff.

Titled “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage,” the new CBS sitcom will see Montana Jordan and Emily Osment reprise their “Young Sheldon” roles as Georgie and Mandy, respectively, as the young couple navigates marriage and parenting.

This time, Georgie and Mandy have packed their bags and headed to live with Mandy’s parents, played by Will Sasso and Rachel Bay Jones, who have both appeared in “Young Sheldon.” They will also be joined by some newcomers to the “Big Bang Theory” universe.

For the full breakdown on which “Young Sheldon” characters will be returning — and where you’ve seen them before — keep on reading.

Miley Cyrus‘ hit songs don’t sound much like The Beatles, but she’s a big fan of one of The Beatles’ most popular albums. She even recorded some of the tracks from that record in a new style. Interestingly, she did so with help from one of the modern heirs of The Beatles’ psychedelic era.

Miley Cyrus sang 2 songs from The Beatles’ most beloved album

The Flaming Lips are a neo-psychedelia band that returned to their genre’s roots with their record With a Little Help from My Fwends, a track-by-track cover of The Beatles’ album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The record is filled with guest stars. The “Wrecking Ball” singer shows up on avant-garde remakes of “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” and “A Day in the Life.”

During a 2014 interview with The Stranger, The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne discussed working with Cyrus on Sgt.

The second major spin-off of "The Big Bang Theory" — which itself is a spin-off of the spin-off "Young Sheldon" — gives away the game right there in the title. "Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage" gives Georgie Cooper (Montana Jordan) and his wife Mandy McAllister (Emily Osment), who got married in season 7 of "Young Sheldon," the spotlight as they try to navigate a life together as young parents. The thing is because Chuck Lorre keeps expanding the Sheldon Cooper Cinematic Universe (the Sccu?) even though Sheldon Cooper's future is firmly established thanks to The Big Bang Theory — where Jim Parsons plays Sheldon — we already know that Georgie gets married and divorced twice, hence the words "first marriage" in that title.

"Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage" premieres on October 17 on CBS and is set to bring back a bunch of "Young Sheldon" veterans, not to mention adding in some new faces — and...

Selena Gomez began her career as a child actress on PBS’s children’s TV series Barney & Friends. She rose to fame as Disney Channel’s teen idol Alex Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place. She signed with Hollywood Records as a singer in 2008 and formed her pop-rock band. When she released her first album as a solo artist, Gomez boosted her net worth to $10 million.

I bet Diddy wishes he could throw on a blonde wig and become unrecognizable right about now.

After decades of proudly presenting himself as the A-list’s most ambitious and hedonist party host, the many legendary soirées thrown by Sean “P Diddy” Combs are currently at the center of 2024’s biggest pop-culture scandal. Right now, Diddy is under indictment for sex trafficking and racketeering, with his infamous “Freak Off Parties” playing a central role in both the criminal charges against him and the media coverage of his crumbling empire. As more details about Diddy’s alleged misdeeds come to light, the internet continues to comb through the publicly available information on the private lives of every celebrity who ever snapped an Instagram picture in Diddy’s mansion, with extra interest focused on those stars whose relationships with the mogul and accused sex criminal started when they were underaged.

Carrie Underwood will not make as much as Katy Perry. Though she is replacing the idol judge, it seems ABC will not be paying her the same salary as the past judge.

Carrie Underwood Is “The Champion”

Carrie Underwood is a well-known American singer. The country singer made her mark on the world when she was named the Season 4 winner of American Idol in 2005.

The 41-year-old is most prominently known for her hit “Before He Cheats” which is a karaoke favorite. Additionally, the star has been married to Canadian ice hockey center, Mike Fisher.

Now, Underwood is going back to her reality TV show roots. Katy Perry is leaving her judges seat to focus on her music and Underwood is taking over. She will be joining for Season 23.

Even though she was allegedly not the first choice for the coveted TV series, she has promised to do her best and...

It’s public knowledge that Dolly Parton agreed to be Miley Cyrus‘s godmother when Miley was first born. However, no one ever knew if the two stars were actually related by blood or not. Miley and Dolly are both extremely talented and now it’s been proven that they do indeed share a connection in terms of their ancestry. These are the details.

Miley Cyrus And Dolly Parton’s Blood Relation

According to Ancestry.com, Miley and Dolly are distant relatives thanks to a man named John Brickey. He was related to both of them! John was born in 1740 as a Tennessee resident who passed away in 1806. On Miley’s side, he’s her seventh great-grandfather. On Dolly‘s side, he’s her sixth grand-grandfather. If you draw that up on a family tree, you’ll uncover that Miley and Dolly are seventh cousins, once removed.

Last year, the singer made headlines with her hit single Flowers which is now indulged in a copyright controversy. As a potential battle seems brewing, this is not the first time when Cyrus had to face this situation. Back in 2018, a Jamaican songwriter sued the songstress involving her 2013 track We Can’t Stop.

Miley Cyrus Was Sued in 2018 Over a $300 Million We Can’t Stop Lawsuit

Back in 2018, a Jamaican songwriter, Michael May sued the Hannah Montana actress for $300 million, claiming that the singer’s 2013 hit We Can’t Stop had a striking resemblance to his 1988 track We Run Things.

Miley Cyrus is being sued for stealing Bruno Mars’ song. Cyrus’ hit song ‘Flowers’ is reportedly too similar to a very popular Bruno Mars hit.

Miley Cyrus’ Name In Lights

Miley Cyrus is a singer/songwriter who rose to fame when she starred in the hit Disney Channel series Hannah Montana. Eventually writing music, Cyrus is known for taking risks with her songs and music videos.

For example, she had a hit song, ‘Wrecking Ball’ in 2013. The video showcased her swinging on a wrecking ball half naked as well as fully naked. Cyrus is very much known for doing whatever she wants despite what other people say.

Moreover, when she was on the red carpet, fans were stunned when she pretended to lick her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth’s face. Fans speculated that Hemsworth asked her to “behave.” Then, she removed his hands from her before posing for solo pictures.

Known for portraying the spiteful older brother of Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory spin-off, Young Sheldon, Montana Jordan is set to reprise his role in the upcoming show Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage alongside Emily Osment.

Given his reported earnings from the CBS drama, the 21-year-old actor is anticipated to see a significant boost in his income, potentially reaching seven figures with his new show set in The Big Bang Theory universe.

Montana Jordan Poised for Seven-Figure Payday in Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage

Starting his acting career at an early age, Montana Jordan landed his breakout role as Georgie in the CBS series Young Sheldon at 14. Playing Sheldon Cooper’s resentful older brother, Georgie injects much-needed humor into the show’s narrative.

Singer and pop star Miley Cyrus’ hit song Flowers is back on the news. However, it is not another win for the Hannah Montana star, as she became the recipient of a lawsuit. According to TMZ, the singer was sued by an investment firm that shared the rights to Bruno Mars’ When I Was Your Man, citing the similarities between the two tracks.

Flowers won the Grammys last year for Record of the Year, making it the first win for Miley Cyrus. The similarities between the two songs have been brought up before, but they reportedly end with some of Cyrus’ lyrics being a response to Mars’ song. According to an expert, Cyrus does not have to credit Mars as a writer despite it being related lyrically.

Lainey Wilson stopped by The Tonight Show to showcase her song “4x4xU,” off her recent LP Whirlwind. The country singer performed the track on guitar and vocals alongside her live band and backup singers, who joined Wilson on adjacent sofas on the late-night show’s stage.

Wilson released “4x4xU” in July as the third single of Whirlwind. The soulful mid-tempo ballad tells the tale of a fast-blooming highway romance that takes place in the cab of a pickup truck: “Your hands 10 and two on this heart of mine,...

Lainey Wilson is sharing her “full circle moment” with superstar, Miley Cyrus and it is truly one for the books. They both won their first Grammys in 2024 so they have that special moment in common. Yet, there is more to the two ladies’ backstories than meets the eye and it goes back to the early days of Miley’s career. Keep reading for all of the details on the Lainey-Miley connection.

Lainey Wilson Shares ‘Full Circle Moment’ With Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus has been a household name for years and has spanned many genres through music, movies, and television. She has made waves and caused controversy but fans adore her and her style. The same goes for Lainey Wilson. She is not only known for her role as Abby on the hit series, Yellowstone but for her duet with Jelly Roll. They knocked it out of the ballpark with “Save Me...

Country singers say the darndest things. Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Achy Breaky Heart” was his signature hit, but Cyrus didn’t see it that way. In fact, he seemed to take more pride in a song he wrote about the Vietnam War that wasn’t even a single.

Billy Ray Cyrus said ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ didn’t touch people like another 1 of his songs did

For over 25 years, “Achy Breaky Heart” was the most famous Billy Ray Cyrus song bar none. It had its fans, it had its detractors, and it inspired a “Weird Al” Yankovic spoof called “Achy Breaky Song” that showed up on the same album as his Jurassic Park parody. By most metrics, “Achy Breaky Heart” would qualify as a hit.

During a 2009 interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Cyrus disputed that. “I had three No. 1 [country] records and one of the most significant patriotic songs of all time, the title track of that album,...

Billy Ray Cyrus was just as much a part of Disney‘s Hannah Montana phenomenon as Miley Cyrus was. For example, Billy Ray wrote a song for Hannah Montana: The Movie that was about his experiences making the show. Interestingly, some aspects of that movie have aged in an unexpected way.

Billy Ray Cyrus wrote a song he called a cornerstone of ‘Hannah Montana: The Movie’

Hannah Montana: The Movie is the rare anti-Hollywood movie to come straight from Tinseltown. The plot line centers on Hannah Montana going back to her home state of Tennessee because Hollywood is supposedly too shallow. While in the South, she falls in love with a cowboy and matures a bit. The film champions Southern small-town values over Californian careerism. Who knows if Hollywood could make a movie like this today without sparking a major controversy?

During a 2009 interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Cyrus discussed...

Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley Cyrus both have hit songs under their belt, but only one was a duet from the two. The track in question came from a popular movie. In addition, it was written by one of the biggest pop songwriters of all time.

Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley Cyrus did a song written by Michael Jackson’s songwriter

Hannah Montana: The Movie was a big moment in the Cyruses’ career since both of them starred in it. It was only fitting that they would sing a song together for the film. The two performed a duet for Hannah Montana: The Movie called “Butterfly Fly Away.” The track was produced by Glen Ballard, the songwriter behind hits like Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror,” Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know,” and Aerosmith’s “Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees).”

Miley Cyrus rose to fame as the Disney girl with her breakthrough role as Miley Stewart in the hit Disney show Hannah Montana.

In addition to acting and music, she co-hosted NBC’s Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party, where they entertained audiences through live concerts and sketches during Covid.

The popular socialite seemed pissed about the joke and unfollowed Cyrus on social media.

At its juiciest, country music is full of surprises. For example, the success of Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road” made the latter want to leave the music industry. Here’s why that didn’t happen.

Billy Ray Cyrus didn’t think something like ‘Old Town Road’ was possible

To many, Cyrus was known for two things: his 1990s country novelty “Achy Breaky Heart” and the 2000s Disney sitcom Hannah Montana. Nobody was expecting a new smash single from him in 2019. Somehow, he defied the odds by appearing on a remix of Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” that became a juggernaut.

During a 2019 interview with the New York Post, Cyrus was asked if the success of “Old Town Road” made him want to collaborate with other young artists. “I was thinking about retiring, because to me this is the perfect way for me to go out,...

Lainey Wilson is a household name but her career in country music didn’t happen overnight. She hustled to get her career off the ground, even if it meant breaking the law. Keep reading for all the details.

Lainey Wilson Began Performing At A Young Age

Lainey Wilson is now officially a member of the Grand Ole Opry. She was inducted in June by legendary country crooners, and married couple, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood.

She’s often told the story of visiting the iconic Nashville landmark with her family when she was nine. She knew even then that she wanted to be a country singer and didn’t let anything get in her way. Lainey Wilson famously moved to Nashville after high school and lived in her car as she waited for her career to get off the ground.

After years of hustling, she finally broke into...

Ranker is a popular place on the Internet where people can rank whatever they want, however, they want, and whenever they want. This is always a fan-focused ranking system, and it is never officially tied to the people behind the projects in question. Recently, a large survey was organized on Ranker, whose goal was to determine the worst A-list actors and actresses of all time. The list includes more than 100 names, but in our report, we have decided to list the top ten actors and actresses from the site to provide you with better insight, combined with our original comments and opinions, which will add flavor to the whole report.

Of course, since this is indeed an important list, we have decided to report on it, so we are going to bring you the results by listing the top 10 actors and actresses on this list, from 10th to first place.

The world of country music is friendlier to covers than other genres. For example, Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Achy Breaky Heart” was a cover. Here’s what the song’s writer thought when Cyrus redid his song.

Billy Ray Cyrus’ ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ once had a different title

Cyrus had nothing to do with the writing or production of “Achy Breaky Heart.” The tune was penned by Don Von Tress and produced by Joe Scaife and Jim Cotton. The Marcy Brothers originally recorded it under the title “Don’t Tell My Heart” for their self-titled record. During a 2019 interview with The Tennessean, Von Tress discussed the writing of “Achy Breaky Heart.”

“It was 27 or 28 years ago,” he recalled. “My buddy, Russ Zavitson, who was based in Muscle Shoals, came up and was running Harold Shedd’s publishing company. I’d been that guy that was wanting to hear a song of mine on the radio.

As the film Descendants: The Rise of Red begins, a royal decree is issued, stipulating that Auradon Prep, the elite boarding school for Walt Disney’s classic characters, would welcome a new class of Vk’s — villains’ kids, or the offspring of Disney’s most nefarious antiheroes. Admission letters were sent off with the flourish of a wand and the Descendants franchise began a new journey.

The coming-of-age Descendants films have been tentpoles of the Disney Channel since 2015, when the first Descendants won over children and tweens. The two sequels, Descendants 2: It’s Going Down (2017) and Descendants 3 (2019), did equally well, each becoming the most watched TV movie among ages 6-14 when it premiered. The July release of Rise of Red, the franchise’s fourth installment, has kept the streak going, drawing 6.7 million views in the first three days after its debut on Disney+, making history as the most viewed...

“My parents used to say when I first started out in this industry, ‘If it’s ever not fun, you can quit tomorrow,’” he told E! News. “And when I got to be college age, I got to go off and study theater and really think hard about whether I wanted to do this as my career in life.”

Miley Cyrus was recently honored as a Disney Legend for playing the Disney Channel’s iconic pop star Hannah Montana.

The 31-year-old Grammy winner was only 13 when she was cast as Miley Stewart, a teen sensation who hid her offstage identity behind a blonde wig and a stage name. In the process of landing the role, she beat out some other big stars.

Miley grew up in front of our eyes playing Hannah until 2011, releasing music and even starring in a movie inspired by the character. After that, she went on to launch her solo music career, becoming the sensation she is today.

We did some digging to see who else could have been Hannah and discovered five actresses that auditioned for the part before Miley was cast. The list includes several other Disney Channel stars as well as a few musicians.

Miley Cyrus, the former Disney star who rose to fame as Hannah Montana, received the company’s highest honor over the weekend, joining an elite group of Disney Legends that includes Julie Andrews, Mark Hamill, Whoopi Goldberg, and Howard Ashman. At the D23 fan event, she became the youngest person to achieve this accolade, delivering an emotional speech to mark the occasion.

During her speech, Miley acknowledged her nerves, saying, “I’m the one that tells you what you’re not supposed to know. What I want to say is that legends get scared too. I’m scared right now. But the difference is, we do it anyway, and all of you can do that every single day. It’s legendary to be afraid and do it anyway. There is no such thing as failure when you try. That’s the only way you lose. The way you win is to try.

Miley Cyrus has embraced her Hannah Montana past and apologized to Mickey Mouse for her bad girl era following her Disney Channel run.

“I’m gonna let everybody get in on a little Disney Legend secret. I’m the one that tells you what you’re not supposed to know,” Cyrus said while accepting the honor. “And what I want to say is that legends get scared, too. I’m scared right now, but the difference is we do it anyway — and all of you can do that every single day. It’s legendary to be afraid, and do it anyway.”

During her final audition for Hannah Montana, 12-year-old Miley Cyrus wore her heart on her sleeve and her life-changing manifestation on her chest. “I should have my own TV show,” read the shirt she wore beneath a blue jacket in the tape.

Last night, at the 2024 D23 ceremony, Cyrus became the youngest-ever honoree to be presented with the title of Disney Legend.

In case you did not know, Disney Legends is an internal hall of fame run by Disney, which credits those who “[have] made a significant impact on the Disney legacy” over the years. It was founded in 1987, and new members have been inducted annually at the D23, save for 1988, when no new inductees were announced.

Of course, this means that this year’s D23, which was a massive event, to be honest, and we got a lot of great information from it, also saw a new generation of Disney Legends, and while we saw some really famous and important names, we also broke a record this year!

Namely, popular singer Miley Cyrus was presented as a Disney Legend, thus becoming the youngest ever Disney Legend inducted into the company’s Hall of Fame. You know that she had her breakout role in one of Disney’s most popular children’s shows,...
