Mitchell Musso sent heartfelt love to Hannah Montana fans today as the 20th Anniversary Special premiered. But the biggest surprise came from Miley Cyrus, who revealed shocking crushes on her Disney castmates, including Mitchell Musso himself.
Mitchell Musso, who played beloved character Oliver Oken, couldn’t attend Monday night’s premiere in Hollywood but shared a powerful Instagram message expressing gratitude.
“Hannah Montana wrapped around my heart and never let go,” Musso wrote on social media. He praised the Disney legacy, noting that “the coolest part” is watching fans “building families” and passing the show to their children. The 34-year-old actor thanked his castmates by name.
“Miley, Emily, Jason, Billy Ray, Moisés, and the whole crew at Disney,” he continued, “you became my family through all the real, messy, beautiful moments.” His heartfelt words resonated deeply with the fanbase.
Mitchell Musso did not attend the Monday night Hollywood premiere, though he did not publicly explain why. Fellow cast member Emily Osment missed the event due to filming conflicts with her CBS sitcom “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.”
