‘I wasn’t a star anymore’: When Miley Cyrus opened up about her ‘idenтιтy crisis’ after starring in Hannah Montana
Did you catch wind of the moment when Miley Cyrus shared her feelings of being lost, brought on by her on-screen persona in Hannah Montana? Dive in to explore her point of view!
Miley Cyrus once shared a revelation during an episode of the Rock This with Allison Hagendorf podcast, where she discussed the profound “idenтιтy crisis” she endured after her time portraying the beloved Disney Channel character, Hannah Montana. The former child star, known for her iconic role in the popular show, didn’t shy away from opening up about the inner turmoil she faced during those crucial formative years.
When Miley Cyrus vented out about feeling lost amid the spotlight
In an episode of the Rock This with Allison Hagendorf podcast, Miley Cyrus shared the complexities of her dual life as Miley Stewart, a regular teenager, and her pop star alter ego, Hannah Montana. She confessed that this duality led to a constant struggle to discern her true self from the character she portrayed on-screen. “Talk about an idenтιтy crisis,” she remarked, reflecting on the time when she felt like she was a character almost as often as she was herself.
One of the central themes of Hannah Montana was the stark contrast between the adoration and value attached to her pop star persona and the seeming indifference she encountered when not in character. The Jaded singer revealed that the show instilled in her the belief that without the iconic wig and the persona of Hannah Montana, she ceased to be a star in the eyes of the world. “And then the concept was that when I looked like myself, when I didn’t have the wig on anymore, that no one cared about me, I wasn’t a star anymore. That was drilled into my head, like without being Hannah Montana no one cares about you,” Cyrus lamented.
Reportedly, this struggle with her dual idenтιтy didn’t merely confine itself to the layers of fiction. Miley disclosed that the pressure to maintain her public image extended into her real life. She explained that she became acutely aware of how people perceived her and, at times, intentionally played into those perceptions to garner attention.
