Mitchel Musso recently admitted that he lost many opportunities because of his Hannah Montana contract with Disney.
The 34-year-old American actor and singer appeared on the Wednesday, June 24 episode of The Joe Vulpis Podcast, where he opened up about passing up different offers while Hannah Montana was airing on Disney Channel from March 25, 2006, to January 16, 2011.
Musso, who played Oliver Oken, the best friend of titular character Hannah Montana (played by Miley Cyrus), said all the actors sacrificed lucrative jobs because of the show.
He said, “I don’t know if you could have done anything bigger than Hannah [Montana] when Hannah was on, right? That was bigger than life.”
“So, I’m sure there were things that were offered to my agency, but it was impossible to do it because we were so locked in with Disney. If it wasn’t a DCOM — a Disney Channel Original Movie — then…we couldn’t do it,” the Pair of Kings star shared.
Vulpis asked him to share his most treasured memory from the set of Hannah Montana, to which Musso said the bond he made with his co-stars, especially Cyrus and Emily Osment, is something he will cherish forever.
“It was the cast. Like this is our middle school, high school, college. This was our [formative years]. We graduated a class of three. It was just me, Miley, and Emily, right? So, it was everything to us,” he quipped.
