Teenage superstar Miley Cyrus is the daughter of Leticia and Billy Ray Cyrus (the famous country musician). Miley was born on 23 November 1992 named Destiny Cyrus, but her friends soon gaver her the nickname Miley because she was always smiling. Ever since then she was stuck with the name Miley as she prefers it to her real name.
Miley began acting from a very early age. Her first role was starring alongside her dad in his show "Doc" at the age of nine. She also had a role in legendary director Tim Burton's movie "Big Fish" starring Ewan McGregor.
At age twelve Miley auditioned for two roles on Disney's new teen sitcom Hannah Montana - trying out for the part of Hannah Montana and also as her best friend. But Disney casting directors thought she was "too young and too small" to be able to handle the role.
Miley had her heart set on appearing in the show and begged the Disney executives for another shot. In the end, the executives decided to ignore their previous concerns and cast Miley in the lead role. They even cast Miley's real dad Billy Ray as her on-screen dad!
In the show, Miley stars as Miley Stewart, who has a secret life as international pop princess Hannah Montana. Only her family and two best friends know about Miley's secret double life!
The Hannah Montana show on the Disney Channel has allowed Miley to rise from a Hollywood nobody to an international celebrity in only three years! Since starring in the show, Miley has starred in the TV movie "The Emporer's New School" and her first major role was as the voice of Penny in Disney's huge new animation "Bolt." She also had a cameo appearance in "High School Musical 2."
Miley Cyrus also starred in the recent Hannah Montana concert-movie "The Best Of Both Worlds" with the Jonas Brothers and she also performs as Hannah Montana at live events all around the world.
Miley has been busy with quite a few new acting projects, including a full-length Hannah Montana movie (based on the show, not the concert) and also a sequel to the 1970s Disney movie "Adventures in Babysitting" co-starring Miley's friend Raven-Symone, due out in 2010.
The future is bright for Miley Cyrus, who is keen to shake off the teen starlet image she gained from Hannah Montana and focus on more serious acting and music projects. - 18135
