Fame has ruined the lives of countless child actors: the cast of Diff'rent Strokes alone could fill a book. So, it surprises me on a couple of fronts that the father of Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray, has spoken so vehemently about the impact of Hannah Montana on his daughter.
On whether he wishes "Hannah Montana" had never happened:
"I hate to say it, but yes, I do. Yeah. I'd take it back in a second. For my family to be here and just be everybody okay, safe and sound and happy and normal, would have been fantastic. Heck, yeah. I'd erase it all in a second if I could."From: GQ: Mr. Hannah Montana's Achy Broken Heart
1) Billy Ray was on the set working alongside his daughter. How could he not see what was going on?
2) Billy Ray had his own meteoric rise to fame in the early '90s, with his out-of-nowhere smash hit "Achy Breaky Heart." If any Hollywood parent should know how to handle sudden fame, it should be BRC.
