Between filming, concert touring, and publicity touring, Cyrus had a lot on her plate.

Cyrus then said she would one day off before filming “Hannah Montana” the following Monday.

“I’m a lot of things, but lazy ain’t one of them.

Cyrus even honored her late grandpa with a song titled “I Miss You.”

I have to be on set.”

This was deemed very controversial because it went against the Hannah Montana image Disney had cultivated.

Portraying Hannah on the show also exposed her to unrealistic beauty standards.

“From the time I was 11, it was, ‘You’re a pop star!

Cyrus and Osment’s characters on the show were so close they were practically sisters.

Their friendship seemed genuine and deep, and so the same was assumed of the actors’ off-screen friendship.

“Our characters got along so well, why couldn’t we act the same in real life?”

“Now when I look at Emily I don’t feel insecure or competitive or annoyed at our differences.

The friendships that take work can be the ones that are most rewarding.”

However, casting directors liked Cyrus’ audition so much that they had her audition for the lead role.

Ultimately, though, they decided that Cyrus was too young for the role.

“Hannah Montana” became one of Disney’s biggest premieres and ran for four seasons.
