Born Destiny Hope Cyrus, her sunny personality soon changed her name to Miley at home. Her father, country star and actor Billy Ray Cyrus, nicknamed (…gave her the name……) her "Miley" because she is "always full of smiles". Now every Disney Channel lover knows her as Miley Cyrus, the star of Disney's newest original show: Hannah Montana, where Miley plays a regular girl called Miley Stewart who has a secret double life as the biggest singing superstar of TV.

1. Who gave her nickname?/ Why?

In the serial Hanna Montana is a teenage pop singer daughter of singer Roby Ray and sister of Jackson and she is also a simple girl Millie Stewart, too. 'Millie is Hanna Montana' but only her family and her best friends know it .She hides it from others because she doesn't want people to be formal (…very polite……) towards her or respect her only because she is Hannah. She enjoys both lives. The simple life of Millie and the famous life of Hanna but she often has to deal with problems in playing both life parts.

2. Why does she have a double life in the film?

It took a lot to this 13-year-old to earn the role of Disney's new TV queen. "All this hard work I've done my entire (……whole……………..) life is about to pay off," she says. She isn't recalling only the audition call-back which started with 1000 girls, but the dedication (……hard work………….) she’s put into singing and acting for years has paid off (…has given good results……..). Daughter of a country star who crossed over TV, Miley has been taking parts as extras in her Dad's shows since forever, and most recently was cast for some episodes in his drama series "Doc", as well as the role of Ruthie in

"Big Fish" at the age of eight.

3. How many girls competed for her role in the Disney series?

4.Has she participated in any other films?

Singing and playing the guitar have been a huge part of her life too. She assures (…says it is so………) she has written over 100 songs already. She is now recording one new song per episode so that she will have made over 20 songs by the end of the season.

5.What is her target for the end of the season?

Gary Marsh, Disney Channel entertainment president said they chose Miley for the role of Hannah Montana because they saw a girl who has this natural ebullience (……vividness……..) and loves every minute of her life, which shows in her demeanour(……behaviour…..) and performance.

6. What was her advantage compared to the other girls?

When she's not performing, Miley enjoys the company of her five siblings (……brothers and sisters…..), Christopher, Braison Chance, Brandi, Trace and Noah Lindsey, and her dog Loco who lives with them in Los Angeles. The rest of her dogs, cats, horses, chickens and cows had to stay at their Nashville, Tennessee home when they moved to LA in December 2005 to start the filming. Miley had to say goodbye to her whole-life friends, so her new lifestyle also includes long hours on the phone plus the LA need: shopping. "I'm a big shoe person. Sometimes I'll be punky (…like a punk….), the next day I'll be preppy (…wearing designer classics…..) . Every day after work, my mom and I go shopping. My dad is about to kill me. I say, 'We need it, daddy!'"

7. How does she spend her free time?

Her hobbies include her job: dancing, cheerleading (……encouraging the crowd to cheer at sports games……….), singing, playing the guitar and writing music. She states, "As soon as I step on that stage, nothing matters. I don't think of it as work. It's just so much fun."
