Kendall Jenner compares life in the spotlight to ‘Hannah Montana’
Kendall Jenner is opening up about her experiences growing up under intense media scrutiny, drawing parallels between her life and the fictional character Hannah Montana.
In a recent interview on the Anything Goes podcast, Jenner shared insights into the challenges she faced as a teenage model and reality TV star on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, likening her situation to Miley Cyrus’ iconic Disney Channel character who led a secret double life as a pop star.
“It’s a little Hannah Montana-y in a way,” Jenner told host Emma Chamberlain. “[But] I didn’t have a disguise, or I didn’t have a physical shift.”
The four-season television series Hannah Montana, which aired from 2006 to 2011, chronicled Miley Stewart’s (Cyrus) experiences as a regular adolescent who also goes by the name Hannah Montana, a well-known pop sensation.
“We went to school. We went to school as long as we could,” she continued. “I started home school, 11th and 12th grade … so even though we had a TV show at home, we were going to regular school all day and had our friends that we had from before the show started.”
Even though Jenner was on camera from a young age and her life wasn’t “always easy,” she said that “it did feel kind of normal.”
“We lived as much of a normal life as, I think, was possible and I’m so grateful for that,” the supermodel added.
Jenner was just ten years old when Keeping Up with the Kardashians debuted in 2007, catapulting her family into stardom.
She also remembered having to perform “very adult things at a really young age” with her younger sister Kylie Jenner.
The Kardashians star acknowledged that generally, though, “I think it could have been a lot worse,” so she’s “really grateful.”
