Miley Cyrus got “some body dysmorphia” from her “Hannah Montana” days. Are we surprised by this? (We aren't.)
“I was told for so long what a girl is supposed to be from being on that show,” said Cyrus in a new interview with Marie Claire. “I was made to look like someone that I wasn't, which probably caused some body dysmorphia because I had been made pretty every day for so long, and then when I wasn't on that show, it was like, Who the fuck am I?”
We should all be thankful that those soul-sucking days are over, not only for Miley's sake (“It was like Toddlers & Tiaras',” she went on) but for our own: who knew she was such an off-the-cuff, freewheeling spirit underneath those pounds and pounds of Disney pageant makeup?
A few other choice quotes from the interview:
On the nightmare that was “Hannah Montana,” Part 2: “Every morning, I was getting coffee jammed down my throat to wake me up. I just had to keep going, be tough, be strong. Everything happened to me on that set.”
On the nightmare that was “Hannah Montana,” Part 3: “I would have anxiety attacks. I'd get hot flashes, feel like I was about to pass up or throw up. It would happen a lot before shows, and I'd have to cancel. Then the anxiety started coming from anxiety. I would be with my friends, thinking, I should be having so much fun. You get in this hole that seems like you're never going to be able to get out of.”
On wanting to get it on with Joan Jett: “When [I] introduced Joan Jett into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I said, 'The reason I'm here tonight is because I want to fuck Joan,' everyone laughed because they thought it was a joke. It wasn't.” (I believe you, Miley.)
On unrealistic beauty standards: “I'm probably never going to be the face of a traditional beauty company unless they want a weed-smoking, liberal-ass freak. But my dream was never to sell lip gloss. My dream is to save the world.”
