'Hannah Montana' Casting Director Reveals Top 3 Actresses Up for Hannah

There were three actresses who were the top picks to play Hannah Montana in the hit Disney Channel series!

Casting director Lisa London revealed the two other actresses who were in the running, alongside Miley Cyrus, who of course ended up getting the role.

After another user shared a video saying Belinda (who was in Cheetah Girls 2!) was a top contender, Lisa “Just wanted to share my insight since Hannah was so huge. Things always work out the way they’re meant to be 💜”

It’s widely known that when Miley first auditioned, they thought she was too young and didn’t have enough experience. The character’s name was also originally Chloe Stewart before Miley eventually landed the role.

In a new TikTok, Lisa London shared some insight into the casting of the show.

“These were the final three actresses that auditioned at the network test, out of over 1,200 girls,” she says in the video.
