Miley Cyrus Says ‘Hannah Montana’ Caused Body Dysmorphia
Miley worked such long hours on the show, her mother suggested bringing in special lights to help with depression triggered by seasonal affective disorder.
The songstress, who rose to fame in 2006 thanks to her role as the carefree teenager, said in an interview with Marie Claire magazine: “From the time I was 11, it was, ‘You’re a pop star!”
According to Miley, being on the show during a developmental time in her life left her very confused about who she was and how she was supposed to look. “That means you have to be blonde, and you have to have long hair, and you have to put on some glittery tight thing, ‘” she told Marie Claire. “It’s insane what people have decided we’re all supposed to be”, she added. I’d get hot flashes, feel like I was about to pass up or throw up. “Everything happened to me on that set”. “Then the anxiety started coming from anxiety”, Miley shared.
“I don’t really stress too much about being out there”.
In new quotes shared by the popular publication on Wednesday, the pop princess revealed that she and Caitlyn Jenner are friends!
She recalled: “It was so embarrassing, but I couldn’t leave”. “You get in this hole that seems like you’re never going to be able to get out of”.
“We’ve talked a lot about how you can never make every single person happy”.
We’d say she’s looking pretty body confident now!
The pair appeared to confirm that they are an item with a fun Instagram post in July, which showed them playing around on dinosaur statues, with Miley poking her tongue out for the camera.
And while there can be no doubt these days that Miley Cyrus is comfortable in her own skin, the 22-year-old recently reflected on the negative impact the daily pressures of playing the teenage character had on her.
And with the friendship of Caitlyn Jenner, she’s probably going to do it.
