Miley Cyrus: Hannah Montana will be gone forever after Sunday night

Miley Cyrus will be waving goodbye to Hannah Montana on Sunday. The smash hit series — which first aired on March 24, 2006 — is calling it a wrap forever later this evening.

The show, which catapulted Cyrus into an international teen icon who sold millions of albums and concert tickets and millions of dollars worth of merchandise, focuses on a girl — played by Miley — who lives a double life as a typical teenager by day and a famous pop singer by night.

Cyrus — who recently turned 18 — has previously revealed how she’s keen to be taken seriously as an actress.

“I have bought my own house and I’m very excited about moving there. I’m quite independent anyway because I have to travel a lot,” she said last year.

“I have four siblings so my mum and dad can’t always come along. But I think people are going to take me more seriously this way.

“I have achieved a lot — more than some grown-ups in my position have. And I don’t have the feeling that people are taking me seriously, simply because I’m so young. I hope that’s going to change.”
