Fox News
After years of impersonating Hannah Montana, Lainey Wilson met her "idol," Miley Cyrus, while honoring her as a Disney Legend over the weekend.
"You inspired me to believe in myself. That I, too, could be an ordinary girl living in an extraordinary world." Christina Dugan Ramirez is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
"One day I would be playing a 3-year-old's birthday party and later that day, I would be playing a nursing home, so I really had to figure out how to adjust to my crowd." Lainey told People magazine of her experience. "I was doing three or four parties a weekend and fairs and festivals. All my friends in high school were going to the LSU football games and living it up. I never even thought twice about it. I never felt like I was missing out. I felt like I was putting some notches on my belt." A post shared by Lainey Wilson (@laineywilson)
On Sunday, the "Yellowstone" actress had a "full circle moment" when she honored Cyrus as a Disney Legend at a D23 event in Anaheim, California. Cyrus, who portrayed Hannah Montana on the hit sitcom from 2006 to 2011, made history as the youngest person to ever be named a Disney Legend.
