Miley Cyrus became one of the Disney Channel’s breakout stars playing Hannah Montana. However, it turns out that she faced some stiff competition for the role.
The 30-year-old Endless Summer Vacation hitmaker was only 13 years old when she was chosen to play the pop star who hid her offstage identity from fans behind a blonde wig.
She stuck with the role until 2011, releasing music and even starring in a movie inspired by the character. After that, Miley went on to launch her solo music career, becoming the sensation she is today.
Thirteen years ago, Hannah pulled off her iconic blonde wig in the show’s fourth and final season. It brought an end to her secret identity and introduced fans to Miley Stewart, the talented teen behind the blonde hair.
