8 Child Actors Who We Wish Had Stayed Kids

1. Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus (real name: Destiny Hope Cyrus- don't look up why she goes by Miley, it's too ridiculous) is a prime example of the Disney starlet out to prove to us that she's all grown up. At the age of 11, she was cast in the starring role of Disney show HannahMontana, about a young pop star, and her teenage years played out largely on screen. She was a bright spot in a fairly dull show and earned herself legions of tween fans who were drawn to her bubbly performance and well-sung pop tracks. Since leaving Disney, Miley has done a lot of pretty fun things. She got herself a damn good haircut (oh, to have the cheekbones to pull that off), managed to really annoy America's conservative elements by wearing minimal clothing in public places (which she could also pull off, which probably infuriated them more) and spoke openly about sexuality and gender fluidity. Also, Wrecking Ball is damn catchy. So why does she make this list? Because before the 2015 VMAs, she got into a feud with Nicki Minaj over racial diversity in the music industry and, well, no one messes with Nicki Minaj. Sorry Miley. You were so close.
