Who are the actresses who could have gotten the role of Miley Cyrus?

There’s no way to talk about Hannah Montana without remembering Miley Cyrus! That’s because the actress became the protagonist of the Disney Channel series in 2006, living the teenager Miley Stuart, a character who faced a great challenge: hiding her double life, since that day she was just an ordinary high school student, but the night turned into a real superstar.

Although the role marked the childhood and adolescence of many who followed the production in the 2000s, and leveraged the career of Cyrusas an actress and singer, turning her into a global icon, the owner of the hit “Flowers”, could not have been chosen to give life to the main character, since Disney had two other names in the spotlight to play the role: Taylor Momsen It is Daniella Monet.
