These last three actresses auditioned for the network audition were out of over 1,200 girls. And that was when her name was originally Chloe Stewart. before they change him into Miley Stewart.”

In recent years, especially after the revival of series like That So Raven and Punky Brewster, the question has been whether or not Hannah Montana can be revived. While Cyrus’ father, Billy Ray Cyrus, teased the possibility of an introduction about his character, Cyrus herself shut down the idea of ​​her coming back straight.

“[I] likely [wouldn’t do a Hannah Montana reboot]’ Cyrus said People In 2017. “It’s a long time to be with my dad. You know, my dad was my dad on the show. I have enough time with my dad.”

“It was really hard every day from, [ages] 11 to 18,” added Cyrus. I didn’t get an escape from school like most people did. I went to work with my father. Then I started driving my dad towards the end, when I could start driving. Then my grandmother went with me every day. I’ve had a lot of time with my dad and grandmother.”
