As “Hannah Montana” took over Disney Channel and the world, behind the scenes, a different story was unfolding. Ratings soared, and Miley Cyrus emerged as a star, but at what cost? Billy Ray admitted in an interview with GQ that the hit series caused a huge divide within the Cyrus family. “The business was driving a wedge between us,” the country singer admitted.
In the midst of the divorce between him and his wife Tish (that was later called off), Billy Ray was filming the final season of “Hannah Montana.” While they played a happy family on-screen, their own personal drama was playing out in real time. “Season four, it was a disaster,” he admitted. “I was going to work every single day knowing that my family had fallen apart, but yet I had to sit in front of that camera. I look back and I go, How did I ever make it through that? I must be a better actor than I thought.”
Miley had her own personal struggles while playing the beloved Disney pop princess, admitting that when the series ended, she had an identity crisis. On the podcast “Rock This with Allison Hagendorf,” she revealed: “… When you have this alter ego, you’re valuable. You’ve got millions of fans, you’re the biggest star in the world. Then …when I looked like myself, when I didn’t have the wig on anymore, no one cared about me. I wasn’t a star anymore.”
