Miley Cyrus<\/a> escaped the darker side of child stardom for one key reason: her parents never needed her fame.<\/p>\n

The former Disney star recalled how having father Billy Ray Cyrus by her side on the “Hannah Montana” set created a buffer she believes many young actors never get.<\/p>\n

Cyrus starred in “Hannah Montana” with her real dad playing her TV dad. Cyrus told Variety<\/a> having Billy Ray on set shielded her from the dark side of children working in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

“My parents didn\u2019t need me to be famous to survive or to be stable,” she explained.<\/p>\n

“What happens to a lot of these kids is their parents want it more than they do, or the kids become responsible for the entire income of the family,” Cyrus added. “That was never my job. Every penny I ever made went into my bank account because my parents were good.”\u202f<\/p>\n

Billy Ray’s dressing room was connected to Cyrus’ and her grandmother, Loretta “Mammie” Finley, managed the star’s fan club from the kitchen-turned-office.<\/p>\n

“My dad was on set every single day, so there was nothing that could happen that he wouldn\u2019t know about,” Cyrus noted. “There was never a time where I was going to be alone in that dressing room.”\u202f<\/p>\n

In hindsight, Billy Ray was a perfect casting call \u2013 but he wasn’t the first option. Billy Ray even attempted to recruit other actors for the role.<\/p>\n

“He goes out into the parking lot, grabs other dads, brings them into Disney and is like, \u2018You should hire this guy! He\u2019s a great actor!\u2019 And my mom was behind him, squeezing his back, saying, \u2018Shut up! We need you to get the role so we can all move out here!\u2019”\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n

“My dad always says, \u2018When you knock \u2019em\u202fout, you don\u2019t need a judge.\u2019 We knocked \u2019em\u202fout,” she recalled. “It was so obvious, after all the other dads, that you\u202fcan\u2019t\u202ffake the kind of connection that we have. The inside jokes, the nicknames, the handshakes, singing\u202fthe songs together. It was a TKO.”<\/p>\n

After “Hannah Montana<\/a>” ended in 2011, Cyrus reinvented herself \u2013 which led to criticism at times. She chose to go in a completely different direction rather than continue to star in “Hannah Montana” spin-offs or other Disney-related projects.<\/p>\n

Cyrus released her third album, “Can’t Be Tamed,”<\/a> in 2010 and followed up with “Bangerz” in 2013. She further shredded the Disney girl image by twerking on Robin Thicke at the VMAs.<\/p>\n

“I boldly and unapologetically presented myself to the world at that time, where I could have gone the other way and played it safe,” she told the outlet. “Maybe that would have been successful at the time, and it wouldn\u2019t have been such a cross to bear, but I wouldn\u2019t have had the reward. I\u202fdon\u2019t know if I would have had the sustainability that my career has now.”<\/p>\n

Transitioning from her childhood stardom into adulthood left a mark on Cyrus.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s no surprise that I had my experiences with drugs and alcohol,” she explained. “I was so used to living at a high, and I\u202fdon\u2019t\u202f think I ever learned how to come down from that. Now, through a sober lens, I can have compassion and understanding for myself.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
