Miley Cyrus

Fame may have come too soon for Miley Cyrus. She is one of those star-girls who rose so much when they were kids that after a few years they became adults too soon. The fact is that Miley Cyrus has not stopped being on the covers of magazines and tabloid programs since she was very, very young. And when it seemed that her star was inevitably going out, she herself has been in charge of making the spark jump again, even if it was necessary to make a small scandal for that. Fame servitudes?

Miley Cyrus’ real name is Destiny Hope Cyrus. Such a name is due to the fact that her parents had their hopes that the child would do great things in her life and, without thinking twice, they called her that (literally “Destiny Hope”). She was born on November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee and is the daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus and his second wife, actress Tisha Cyrus. It seems that the girl was very smiling since she was a child, which earned her the nickname of Smiley, which in the end ended up being reduced to Miley. The family moved to Toronto, Canada, when her father signed to work on the television series Doc. Shortly after, little Miley decided that she also wanted to act and so she took her first steps in the same series as her father, and later, already eleven years old, she participated with a small role in Big Fish , by Tim Burton .

It was in 2005 when the life of Miley Cyrus changed completely when she was chosen to be the protagonist of Hannah Montana on television. The Disney Channel series was about a young woman with enormous talent for music who lives a double life as a pop star. During the four seasons of the series, the Hannah Montana media phenomenon only increased and ended up being tremendous, thousands of records were sold and merchandising went around the world. It was something similar to what happened with High School Musical . Miley Cyrus became a teenage superstar and began to combine the world of music with that of acting. In 2009 the protagonist of the series had her own film, Hannah Montana: The Movie , directed byPeter Chelsom with a sweet style and aimed at the same adolescent audience as the series. She reached much greater cinematographic repercussion with the more adult and also hyper romantic The Last Song (2010), a film in which she shared the bill with Liam Hemsworth , who in turn would become her boyfriend in real life. The movie contains some great songs performed by Miley Cyrus.

In 2012, the actress starred in the Hollywood remake of an interesting French film, LOL , directed by Lisa Azuelos and where the role of Miley’s mother is reserved for Demi Moore . The latest film she has worked on is Dangerously Undercover , a frugal action comedy about a young detective.

At the moment Miley Cyrus seems more focused on the world of music than on the movies. In 2007 she released her first album to great sales success. Her tour of the United States was included in the documentary Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert . After her second album in 2008, Miley has continued to release albums and hold concerts with overwhelming worldwide success, also caused by the increasingly sexualized image that the young star is giving of herself in various performances and music videos.
