Miley Cyrus was forced to quit Hannah Montana after losing her virginity.
The star felt so “weird” after having sex for the first time that she knew her stint as Miley Stewart – and her Disney Channel tenure – was finally finished.
Miley played the titular character in the iconic series from 2006 until 2011, reprising her role for various spin-offs and movies over the years.

But “the minute” she lost her virginity, it was time to conclude her 100-episode stint.
Miley told Elle Magazine in 2019: “It felt ridiculous. The minute I had sex, I was kind of like, ‘I can’t put the f***ing wig on again’. It got weird. It just felt like… I was grown up.”

The star worried she was “crushing” the dreams of young fans – but didn’t want to be a “Disney mascot” for her whole life.
She explained: “One time I went backstage at Disneyland, and Peter Pan was smoking a cigarette. And I was like, ‘That’s me. That’s the kind of dreams I’m crushing.’
“That’s how everyone felt with the bong video, but I’m not a Disney mascot. I’m a person.”

Miley confessed she was 16 years old when she had sex for the first time – and it was to her future husband Liam Hemsworth.
But she lied to her ex-husband about him being her first.
Opening up on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Miley said: “I was 16. It wasn’t Nick Jonas. But I ended up marrying the guy, so that’s pretty crazy.

“I lied and said that he wasn’t the first so I didn’t seem like a loser. He said, ‘Oh, who have you had sex with?’ And I couldn’t think of anyone, so I just made somebody up that I knew but we had never actually had sex before.”
But the star was later forced to confess the truth.
She explained on the podcast: “[Liam’s] friend ended up marrying [the guy she named] and then it was like, ‘Oh, now my friend is marrying someone you’ve hooked up with?’
“So then when I was, like, 24, I had to say that I lied when I was 16. It was a lie that I held onto for, like, 10 years.”
