Aside from Hannah Montana: The Movie, she also starred in The Last Song, LOL, and So Undercover.Simultaneously, Miley also launched her singing career and quickly climbed up the charts.The Real MileyAfter her Disney stint, Miley made bold moves to break away from her squeaky-clean image. She shocked the world with a more provocative look, proving she is no longer Hannah Montana.In a 2014 interview with Vogue Germany, Miley expressed why she didn't want to do acting anymore."I'm just not passionate about acting, because I don't like to pretend to be somebody I'm actually not...""Why should I put on strange characters? I prefer to show my true colours as the real Miley Cyrus."Dealing With An Identity CrisisWhile Miley has always been grateful for the Disney role that made her famous, it wasn't easy for her to move on after the series ended. Being famous at a young age came at a price and Miley, at some point, dealt with an identity crisis."Talk about an identity crisis. I (was) a character almost as often as I was myself, and actually the concept of the show is that when you're this character (and) when you have this alter ego, you're valuable," she shared in a podcast."I wasn't a star anymore. That was drilled into my head, like without being Hannah Montana no one cares about you," she continued.Miley In Netflix's Black MirrorMiley focused more on her singing career but she hasn't completely quit acting just yet.In 2019, she starred in Netflix's popular anthology Black Mirror, as a popstar who is dealing with problems with her management and her identity.Miley has no new movies lined up currently, but she will be hosting an upcoming New Year's Eve Special with SNL's Pete Davidson.
