Miley Cyrus opens the box of memories.. What happened behind the scenes of “Hannah Montana”?

 

In a moment that took the breath away of Disney fans around the world, star Miley Cyrus turned back the clock, recalling the features of her iconic character, which launched her artistic career. With her blonde hair and the famous “bangs” that distinguished the “Hannah Montana” era, Cyrus chose to celebrate two decades since the launch of the series, which made her an international pop star, while she was still thirteen years old.

During the premiere of a special festive program, which was recently shown on the platforms: “Disney+” and “Hulu”, Cyrus met with a group of stars from the series in Los Angeles, in an atmosphere dominated by nostalgia and recalling memories. With a lot of spontaneity and honesty, Cyrus opened her “box of secrets,” to reread that foundational stage of her life as a child who was experiencing an identity struggle between her ordinary life as “Miley Stewart” and her secret stardom as “Hannah Montana.”

This restoration was not without lighthearted touches. With her usual boldness, Cyrus revealed personal details behind the scenes of the work, recalling her childhood admiration for a number of her colleagues at Disney at the time, including: Dylan Sprouse and Nick Jonas.

In an exceptional television show, filmed in front of a live audience, the twentieth anniversary of the series “Hannah Montana” turned into a mirror that reflected the maturity of Miley Cyrus, who turned 33 as one of the brightest contemporary pop stars. Between rare archival footage and breathtaking singing segments, the concert began to the tune of the iconic song “The Best of Both Worlds,” concluding with a touching scene in which Cyrus dedicated a new song to her child self, as if reconciling the past with the past.

Family warmth…and the return of the “famous handshake”:

The program witnessed a remarkable presence by Cyrus’ family and close friends, and the most prominent scene was the appearance of her father, country star Billy Ray Cyrus. Where they tried together to restore the “famous handshake,” which had always distinguished their relationship in the series. This moment was not just a show, but rather an implicit declaration of turning the page on differences. Miley frankly revealed the improvement of her relationship with her father after a period of family tension, which made headlines last year, stressing that the return of this harmony is a “gift” to the audience of the series, which has been emotionally linked to the image of this family for many years.

Star testimonials…from Selena Gomez to Chapelle Rowan:

The celebration was not limited to the family only, but also included her former work rival, the star Selena Gomez, and the rising singer Chapelle Rowan, who spoke movingly about Cyrus’ role as an inspiration in her career. Country star Lenny Wilson also shared a funny memory, revealing that she began her artistic career as an “impersonator” of the “Hannah Montana” character, at birthday parties and local festivals, which reflects the profound impact that the series left on an entire generation of creators.

Strange confessions… and deep reflections:

With her usual spontaneity, Cyrus did not hesitate to reveal strange aspects of her personality behind the camera, perhaps the most prominent of which is her surprising eating habit. She was eating white rice mixed with Diet Coke, instead of soy sauce! Despite the astonishment of those around her, she confirmed that this kind of strangeness is part of her identity, which was formed under the spotlight of fame.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Cyrus paid tribute to her parents: Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus, noting that the “Hannah Montana” experience was not just a television work, but rather it was a family project, melting their professional and personal lives into one crucible, which gave her character the strength and solidity, with which she appears today as an artist in control of herself.
