Miley first role as an actress was in Billy Ray's PAX TV series Doc.
Her family gave her the name "Smiley," which she eventually changed to Miley because she smiled so frequently as a child. In 2008, the celebrity legally changed her name to Miley Cyrus.
Dolly Parton is her godmother. She and Billy Ray became close friends when they worked together in the early 1990s.
In the beginning, Cyrus did not intend to play Hannah Montana. She actually tried out for the part of Miley/Hannah's best friend Lilly, which Emily Osment got.
Miley revealed in her 2009 autobiography that she was born with tachycardia, a non-life-threatening condition that causes the heart to beat much faster than normal.
Miley has 74 tattoos, the first of which she got when she was 17 years old.
Miley started dating her co-star Liam Hemsworth in 2009. Before getting married in 2018, they had been dating on and off for a decade. In 2020, they got their divorce.
Cyrus has declared that she is pansexual.
Cyrus briefly joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2017 when she appeared in one of the episodes of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" scenes in the credits. She voiced Mainframe, a character in the movie.
Cyrus started "The Miley and Mandy Show" on YouTube in 2008 with her friend Mandy Jiroux while she was starring on the Disney Channel.
Miley is the founder of the Happy Hippie Foundation, which works to fight injustice against homeless youth, LGBTQ youth and other vulnerable people.
