    Miley Cyrus' mum used to make her wear 250 hair extensions

    The 'Bangerz' singer, 32, shot to fame as a child star playing Hannah Montana and has now recalled how her mother Tish would go to extreme lengths to style her tresses when she was growing up


    She said in a teaser clip for her upcoming interview on Harper's Bazaar's podcast 'The Good Buy': "It if it was under 250 (hair extensions), my mom wasn't having it. Tish was like, 'We need another row'.

    "Tish would be like, 'Dig another row up'.

    "The kind of hair extensions that we had, they don't even do these anymore."

    Miley opened up about her early style after giving a rare insight into her relationship - saying her younger boyfriend looks at life "really differently" from her.

    The millennial singer, who turned 32 on 23 November, is thought to have been dating Gen Z'er Maxx Morando, 26, since 2021, and revealed even though their age gap isn't massive she still notices a huge chasm between their approaches.

    She told Harper's Bazaar: "He looks at life really differently than I do. He grew up with a laptop (and) I had a desktop computer that I shared with my brothers and sisters.

    "Honestly, he's raised our dog off Reddit. I'm like, 'Are you sure we're supposed to be doing this?'

    "And he's like, 'On Reddit it says blah, blah, blah'."

    Miley added she and Liily drummer Maxx spend a lot of time on social media exchanging memes, and stressed he is "very similar" to her as they both "just don't take life too seriously".

    The singer also said Maxx has introduced her to new artists, and they enjoy listening to songs they think are "cringe" but they "love".

    They are now working together on her upcoming album 'Something Beautiful' as Miley has no boundaries when it comes to mixing relationships and work - especially after she spent years working with her 63-year-old musician father Billy Ray Cyrus.

    She added: "I worked with my dad forever."

    Referring to her actor former partner Liam Hemsworth, 34, to whom she was married from 2018 to 2020, Miley went on: "That's how me and my ex-husband met each other.

    "I've always worked with the people that I love. And Maxx just inspires me so much."

    Frankie Muniz has branded the battle to be a child star a "grind".

    The 38-year-old actor found global fame starring in family-friendly hit show 'Malcolm in the Middle', but said the fight to find fame involved brutal rounds of auditions and his family making huge sacrifices.

    He told the 'Inside of You' podcast he has spent the last year also reflecting on the sacrifices his parents and sister made so he could be a child star - with his mother and father divorcing when he aged around 11 or 12, after he started acting at the age of eight.

    Frankie said his mum decided to go to New York as "we'd kind of maybe outgrown what we could do in North Carolina, like as an actor".

    He added: "And so that separated my family for the first time. My sister stayed with my dad in North Carolina.

    "I went with my mom up to New York and we were going on like six auditions a day and kind of doing the whole grind.

    "And I started booking things and never went back to North Carolina... it was kind of this really weird dynamic to look at now.

    "It actually makes me a little bit sad to realise that me following my dream and the things that I got to do affected every single member of my family.

    "When it's happening you don't realize the sacrifice that every single person is making for you."

    Frankie also told how he was moved by his elderly grandparents being "willing to help out and do whatever they could do" to help him reach his showbiz dreams.

    He added: "This year, it was the first time I thought about the past enough to think about the sacrifice that people made.

    "And it made me really sad. Like it made happy that I had people in my life like that. But it's just a crazy thought that without that support, probably none of that happens."
