Disney fans left speechless after discovering Hannah Montana star's real age

Hannah Montana star Jason Earles, who played Jackson Stewart on the show, has left fans in shock with his real age.

First airing in 2006, the Disney sitcom followed Miley Cyrus as a secret pop star – posing as a regular teen – named Miley Stewart.

Jason played her older brother Jackson, known for his goofy behaviour and annoying habits.

However, after a little digging, one Twitter user was floored to realise that Jason is currently 43 years old – the same age as John Cena.

The wrestling pro played himself in one episode of Hannah Montana back in 2010, pausing during filming to pose for a snap with his co-star Jason.

The user, whose handle is @y_usraa, wrote: “If you want to have your mind blown: John Cena and Jackson from Hannah Montana are the exact same age.”

Taking to the thread, hoards of shocked Hannah Montana fans were left reeling over the discovery, as they mused over Jackson’s youthful appearance.

One said: “Damn, I knew he was older at the time but almost 30???? wtf???”

A second agreed: “Yeah this lowkey don’t sit right with me somehow.”

“Hold up wait a minute so how old was he in Hannah Montana ???” asked a third.

While a fourth chimed: “I had to look it up cause I couldn’t believe my eyes.”

When he first bagged the role, Jason was in his late 20s, meaning he had reached his 30s by the time the show finished filming in 2011.

Speaking to the Brown and Scoop radio show back in 2016, Jason revealed he would be open to a Hannah Montana reunion in the future, following the show’s enormous success.

He said: “If Disney was like, ‘Hey, let’s do a brand new show, let’s do four more years of this’ or ‘Hey, we’re going to do a special six-episode Hannah Montana reunion,’ I would do any of that stuff because that place is like family to me.”
