In 2011, Billy Ray Cyrus talked to GQ about his life, fame, and "Hannah Montana," shocking many when he stated that he wished he'd never done the mega-popular Disney sitcom. "It destroyed my family. I'll tell you right now — the damn show destroyed my family," he candidly remarked, continuing, "I'd take it back in a second." The "Achy Breaky Heart" singer explained, "For my family to be here and just be everybody okay, safe and sound, happy and normal, would have been fantastic. I'd erase [all involvement in "Hannah Montana"] in a second if I could."
In the Disney show, Billy Ray portrayed Robby Ray Stewart, the father of Hannah Montana (or Miley Stewart, if you wish), the character played by Miley Cyrus. While one would've anticipated the real-life father-daughter duo to flourish during their collaboration on such an iconic piece of pop culture, it appears that for Billy Ray, the experience was more akin to a nightmare.
Nevertheless, nine years later, during a conversation with Hollywood Life about a potential prequel to "Hannah Montana," Billy Ray's perspective shifted. "I would do that in a heartbeat," the musician remarked. However, he clarified that his willingness stemmed primarily from the opportunity to revive his iconic mullet hairstyle. Clearly, the experience wasn't all that bad, with Tish Cyrus also remembering it on a more positive note.
