Lisa London, original casting director for the Disney Channel hit series "Hannah Montana",
When Belinda went viral after it was claimed by TikTok producer Fernanda Cortés, the Spanish-Mexican singer nearly took the Titanic role away from Cyrus.
I'm actually the original casting director on Hannah Montana, and I discovered Miley Cyrus," London revealed in a TikTok.
London continued, "These were the last three actresses in the network test out of over 1,200 girls.
The casting director also noted that Hannah Montana's usual alter ego, Miley Stewart, should never have been her name.
