Miley Cyrus has suggested that starring in former Disney show Hannah Montana at such a young age “probably caused some body dysmorphia”.

The ‘Wrecking Ball’ popstar compared the show to Toddlers & Tiaras because she was a “fragile little girl” playing a 16-year-old “in a ton of make-up”.

She also criticised the TV series for giving her completely unrealistic notions about what beauty is and how “a girl is supposed to be”.

Speaking to Marie Claire, Miley said: “From the time I was 11, it was, ‘You’re a popstar! That means you have to be blonde, and you have to have long hair, and you have to put on some glittery tight thing.’

The queen of showbiz commented “I was made to look like someone that I wasn’t, which probably caused some body dysmorphia because I had been made pretty every day for so long, and then when I wasn’t on that show, it was like, ‘Who the f**k am I?'”

Miley went on to sau that she worked such long hours on the show that her mother suggested she use special lamps to help her deal with Seasonal Affective Disorder.

“Every morning, I was getting coffee jammed down my throat to wake me up,” she explained. “I just had to keep going, be tough, be strong. Everything happened to me on that set.”

But the star insisted she won’t be conforming to what society suggests is beautiful any time soon, adding: “When you look at retouched, perfect photos, you feel like s**t.

Body dysmorphia is an anxiety disorder that causes a person to have a distorted view of how they look.

Miley revealed that she worked such long hours on the show that her mother Tish suggested she use special lamps to help her deal with Seasonal Affective Disorder.

“Every morning, I was getting coffee jammed down my throat to wake me up,” she explained. “I just had to keep going, be tough, be strong. Everything happened to me on that set.”

But the star insisted she won’t be conforming to what society suggests is beautiful any time soon, adding: “When you look at retouched, perfect Fashion photos, you feel like s**t.

“They lighten black girls’ skin. They smooth out wrinkles. Even when I get stuck on Instagram wondering, ‘Why don’t I look like that?’ It’s a total bummer. It’s crazy what people have decided we’re all supposed to be.”

The 22-year-old concluded: “I’m probably never going to be the face of a traditional beauty company unless they want a weed-smoking, liberal-ass freak.

“But my dream was never to sell lip gloss. My dream is to save the world.”
