I really want to have a big change,’” she said. “He was kind of the only one — I knew that everyone around me would tell me no — and he was really the only one that I asked, ‘What did he think?’” His response: “And he was like, ‘Go for it today, tomorrow, as soon as you can. That sounds like exactly the perfect thing to do.’” Speaking of Hannah Montana, we rounded up five other Hollywood stars who auditioned for Miley‘s part on the show.
