Mitchel Musso says he’d do anything for his “sister,” Miley Cyrus.
Days after trashing the “Hannah Montana” 20th anniversary special, the “Hey” singer got candid about his relationship with the 33-year-old and their co-star, Emily Osment.
Exactly one year ago, Mitchel Musso made headlines when he clapped back at Cyrus’ claim that he used to smoke pot on the set of the Disney Channel original series.
On an episode of the “Joe Vulpis Podcast,” Musso, 34, opened up about his relationship with his “Hannah Montana” co-stars, Cyrus and Osment, who played Hannah and Lilly.
“This is our middle school, high school, college — we graduated a class of three,” he said about the trio.
“Hannah Montana” aired on Disney from 2006 to 2011. In addition to the show’s 98 episodes, the cast also filmed a feature film that included the chart-topping hit, “The Climb.”
“It was just me, Miley, and Emily, right?” Musso said. “So, it was everything to us. If we weren’t on set together, we were out snowboarding together. We were hanging out in Tennessee at the house.”

According to Musso, the trio “never wanted to be apart” from each other while filming the Disney series, adding that their little group had “so many inside jokes.”
“It was our little, it was our clique, you know, us three,” he added.
And speaking about his clique, Musso said that while he doesn’t speak with Cyrus much today, when they do, it’s like old times, calling the “Flowers” singer one of “the coolest people.”
“One of the most impressive people and watching her career…it’s not like I talk to Miley every single day, but you know the once or twice a year that I do get to speak with her, she’s my sister, you know what I mean? I’d do anything for Miles,” he said.
Mitchel Musso Slammed The ‘Hannah Montana’ 20th Anniversary Special
Musso’s comments about his Disney co-stars come days after he made headlines for trashing the show’s 20th anniversary special, which included a sit-down interview with “Call Her Daddy” podcast host Alex Cooper and new versions of “Best of Both Worlds” and “This Is The Life.”
Although Musso wasn’t part of the special, he said it “wasn’t presented correctly” for him to even want to have a role in it. “It’s too long of a wait to do it in a way that isn’t even close to, in my opinion, correct,” he said.
“The kid in me was banking on it, like ‘I can’t wait for us to all be on set again,’” he added. “And it just didn’t work out that way.”
Osment Wasn’t Included In The 20th Anniversary Special Either
And Musso wasn’t the only “Hannah Montana” alum who missed out on the special. Osment also took a back seat this time, telling her fans online that she had too many conflicts to make it work.
“‘Hannah Montana’ changed my life, it gave me a lifelong respect for this medium of comedy, it taught me discipline, patience, timing and respect working in an adult space so young,” she said of the series.
The “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage” actress went on to say that she’s loved interacting with fans of the show over the years and has enjoyed seeing the series’ legacy live on.
“I can’t tell you what your sweet messages mean to me and how lucky I feel to have been [a part] of this once in a generation goliath of a television show,” she said. “Thank you for letting me into your living rooms and I hope to still be there many years from now. Would never be where I am without you guys, working on another beautiful show I love so dearly. With all my heart, THANK YOU!”
Musso Claps Back At Claims He Used To Smoke Pot On The ‘Hannah Montana’ Set
According to a previous report from The Blast, Cyrus spilled some “Hannah Montana” secrets while preparing for the show’s 20th anniversary. Last year, the singer said that someone used to smoke pot on the show’s set and implied that Musso was the one known to light up.
The “Shout It Out” singer clapped back, though, calling Cyrus a revisionist historian. “That’s not how I remember it,” he said. “I’ve got plenty of stories from those years that might be worth having a conversation about.”
