Once upon a time, the great Walt Disney had no actors other than hand-drawn. But the Disney Channel, whose specialists worthily continue the work of the great animator, in 2006 had a new idea in this regard - they decided to shoot music films with teenagers on the channel. The first pancake was not lumpy, and the School Musical entered the hearts of millions of people. After that, the channel adopted the idea of āāfilming series and films with cute boys and girls, and teenage viewers significantly increased at the screens.
Today, after a whole decade, Disney actors have long been replaced - a new generation is playing in sitcoms and comedies, and the former stars of the channel live their own lives, often not related to past activities. What happened to those smiling guys who delighted the audience in the TV series Hannah Montana or The Wizards of Waverly Place? We are ready to share the news.
Zac Efron
After the āCool Musicalā was shown on Disney Channel, all the girls in the world fell in love with the bottomless eyes of Troy Bolton. As soon as the premieres died down, Efron tried on several diverse roles in a big movie without any problems, and all attempts were noted by critics as successful. Like other Disney actors, Efron has good vocal skills, but the young man decided not to associate a career with music.
For some time, Zach had problems with alcohol and drugs, but he should be given his due - these episodes did not affect the creative activity and appearance of the actor. Today, the star of youth comedies does not seem to go out of the fitness rooms, while managing to engage in social activities and continues to act in films.
Miley Cyrus
You canāt recognize a lovely girl with long locks from her beloved āHannah Montanaā today - Miley radically changed her image and sometimes reminds Lady Gaga of her antics. After the series ended, the girl firmly decided to part with a bored way. Decisive measures were taken - Miley cut her hair, applied 18 tattoos and began to fall in love with girls. The star no longer relies on the film industry, her main passion is music.
Despite the shocking look that not everyone liked, Miley often tops the hit lists of popular tracks and participates in various television projects.
Selena Gomez
The star of the series āWizards of Waverly Placeā did not long seek herself in the field of the film industry. On the account of Selena, only a few roles in modest, but popular teen comedies about first love. Like many other Disney actors and actresses, the 23-year-old girl decided to devote herself to the art of singing and even managed to succeed, but fame found her in an unexpected place. Today, Selena is the leader in the number of likes on social networks.
It is noteworthy that her recent photo, which gained a record number of likes, shares the podium with an old photo of Justin Bieber, her former lover. In the photo of Justin, he himself is depicted in the company of the same Selena.
Demi lovato
Demi Lovato got a ticket to life at age 16 on the Disney Channel series Camp Rock and has since become a real star. After that, the girl still starred in the channelās projects, but later she left for vocals headlong. According to Demi herself, singing is her true passion, and she considers the rest only as a hobby, so she is not at all interested in films. Disney still has a place in the girlās heart.
For example, not so long ago, she recorded a video for Elsaās song Let it go (in the Russian version - āLet go and forgetā) from the animated film Frozen.
Ashley Tisdale
Zac Efronās colleague in the School Musical series of films, like the other Disney actors of the time, gave great hope. Indeed, it was only for the sake of her heroine that an additional video was shot under the title āSharpey's Chic Adventureā. Ashley was also involved in several other projects for the Disney Channel, and outside the studio, she began her career as a singer.
But the girl has not yet achieved world fame, and the loudest news over the past couple of years, of all that can be heard about Ashley Tisdale, is only an affair with Zac Efron. Well, according to film critics, Ashley still has good potential, and she still has time to get her portion of recognition.
Dylan and Cole Sprouse
These two boys are Disney actors from the kindergarten bench. The first role for the twins was the participation in the film "Big Dad", where the boys had to play one person together. The fame came to the boys after the series "All Tip-Top, or the Life of Zach and Cody." After that, the guys began to regularly appear in the series of the channel, but they also featured feature films.
Disney today does not work so closely with the twins - they are educated at the University of New York. In addition to acting skills, Dylan and Cole managed to show their design qualities, so today they own a clothing line.
Well, judging by the stories of these young people who were once simple children and adolescents, the Disney multi-industry is really capable of giving a happy ticket to the future. And the stars can only wish further creative success.
