Miley Cyrus revealed her gruelling routine as a child star, noting that her daily wake-up time was 5:30am.
It seems the life in the spotlight for a child star isn't all glitz and glamour, after Miley Cyrus revealed what life was really like as Hannah Montana when she was just 12.
The star was all over our screens throughout the 2000s, but the price she paid for it most definitely took its toll.

The Disney Channel icon's success didn't come without hard work, as Miley revealed she was anything but 'lazy'.
As part of her ‘Used to be Young’ intimate interview series, she read out a typical day in her life, in which the star's day began at 5:30am.
At this time, she was straight into hair and makeup - getting glammed to meet an extremely tight schedule.

Let's just say if someone attempted to do my hair and makeup at 5:30am, all hell would break loose.
At least give me a coffee (or five) first.
"7am we get picked up. 7.15am I’m on the news," she explained.
"7.45am I have another live interview. 8.15am another interview. 8.45am another interview. 9.30am-11am meeting with editors. Back to the hotel."

It's seemingly all go for the Disney star.
Where's the snack break? That's what I'm wondering.
She continued: "1pm-2.30pm me and my dad have a lunch interview. 2.40pm we have to go to the Life magazine photoshoot. 3pm-5pm interview and photoshoot for the Father’s Day issue.

“Arrive at 6pm for kids online interview, then at 6.15pm we have another interview.
“Then the next day starts at 7am and ends at 7.30pm - when I fly home to probably go to Hannah. That’s on a Saturday. And then Monday be back at work in the morning.”
She laughed: “I’m a lot of things...but lazy ain’t one of ‘em!”
Her mum Tish could then be heard saying in the background: "That truly was the next four years of your life."

The star responded: “So, I do think this girl deserves a little endless summer vacation."
People in the comments also empathised with the singer, as one user said: "After seeing this I understand why she doesn't want to tour anymore. I'd be burnt out for lifeeee after having a childhood like this."
Another added: "She gave up her childhood so others can have theirs. The fame makes it seem that everything is peaches and gravy. But child actors sacrifice so much."
