5. Miley Almost Wasn’t Hannah Montana

Miley’s breakthrough role was as Miley Stewart and her alter ego Hannah Montana on the Disney show, but she almost didn’t get the part. Singer JoJo was who the writers originally had in mind for the role of “Chloe/Hannah”. JoJo didn’t want to be pigeonholed as a Disney girl, so she passed (not the best career move). Taylor Momsen, Alyson Stoner and Jordan McCoy all auditioned for the part. At first, 11 year old Miley was deemed to young and small to be cast, but producers changed their minds, took a chance and the rest is history.
