Miley Cyrus addresses future acting plans as she issues 'challenge' to Hollywood directors
Miley Cyrus has "never really found the role" that would allow her to revive her acting career. The 32-year-old pop star shot to international fame when she took on the title role of Disney's musical television sitcom 'Hannah Montana' in the late 2000s, but has since been heavily focused on her music and only appeared in a handful of films. Speaking on the New York Times' 'The Interview' podcast, she said: "It's actually really interesting because I got 'Hannah Montana' because I was a singer. "I was singing in Nashville, there was a little place in our mall where you could go and make demos. We don't have a Build-A-Bear, we had Build-A-Country-Music-Star! "So I used to go to the mall, make my demos, write my songs. And they were looking for someone who could really sing, not just record kids' music but actually have music be the heart of the show. I was chosen to be an actress because I was a singer. "I got known as being an actress, but I hadn't actually acted in anything. I had been in a baked bean commercial and I had two lines in a Tim Burton one time." The 'Easy Lover' hitmaker - who starred opposite now ex-husband Liam Hemsworth in 'The Last Song' in 2010 and last held a leading role with 2012's 'So Undercover' - is still keen to return to acting at some point and has "challenged" directors an writers to come up with something that she can play. She added: "I became an actress so I could bring that part to life and then I just never really found the role for me because I'm such a character in myself that to find something that can absorb me completely is really challenging. "And I challenge every writer and director out there to bring it to me because I would love to. "I either want to be myself because I'm really good at that, or I wanna throw me away because I'm really good at that too. I'm not good in the middle."

Miley Cyrus Praised For Child-Free Comments
It's fair to say that people — especially women — face a certain pressure to settle down and have kids once they reach a certain age, with many seemingly making this life-altering decision on autopilot because becoming a parent is simply just what you're supposed to do next. Which is why it's always so refreshing when somebody in the public eye points out that you don't actually have to have kids — and that bringing a new life into the world is something you should put a lot of thought into. So it's arguably unsurprising that people are kind of obsessed with Miley Cyrus's seriously candid comments about her decision to stay child-free, with the 32-year-old star tickling fans when she ultimately compared having kids to having a make-up range during a recent interview. In an appearance on the New York Times' Interview podcast, Miley said: 'My stepdad asked me the other day: 'Why are you the only one without a makeup line?' I was like: 'Cause that's not my passion.' He goes: 'That's the right answer.' And it made so much sense. It's like: 'I don't have a makeup line because I'm not a makeup artist.'' 'I feel that way about motherhood,' she then added. 'It's just never been something that I've been overly passionate about.' 'It's a lot of responsibility and devotion and energy, and if you're not passionate about that, I don't know how you do sleepless nights and 18 years of what my mom dealt with,' Miley concluded. Needless to say, these comments generated a huge amount of praise, with many opening up about their own decision to remain child-free as they discussed Miley's quotes on a pop culture Reddit forum. 'i agree with miley, why become a mom if you do not feel like raising them,' a comment that has been upvoted 12,000 times at the time of writing reads. 'Ultimate 'just because you can, doesn't mean you should.' A lot of people are not meant to be parents. If you cannot UNCONDITIONALLY love a child, why have one? Too many people view children as an extension of themself and get upset when they become an actual individual,' somebody else wrote.'I don't have a motherly bone in my body and I'm very happy that I'm aware of that instead of raising a child I would not want,' one person admitted.'Finally, a celebrity being real about not wanting to be a parent — so many pretend it's the only thing that matters,' another added. 'This is similar to how I explain my no kids stance to others,' one more shared. 'I appreciate when public figures (Miley, Seth Rogen, Tracee Ellis Ross, etc) normalize this feeling in the press because you get asked so many questions why.' 'I didn't realize Miley was a CF queen 🙌 It's always nice to see childfree representation in the mainstream media especially from women,' somebody else agreed.'I totally agree. I think a lot of people like the idea of having kids, but don't actually enjoy taking care of children,' another redditor mused. 'My mom was not maternal at all, never wanted kids, but had them because she felt like she had to. Like going through the motions. And it sucked. So props to Miley for recognizing this before,' one more wrote. 'I love that she's so open about this. Normalize not wanting children,' another stated. 'Very insightful stance from a woman who's never let herself be crushed to suit others' expectations,' somebody else pointed out. 'She thinks for herself, and that's a useful trait to have. Pressuring people to reproduce when they don't want to be parents is a recipe for unhappiness.''She is not aligning with things that are not for her. I wish more women were sure and self aware enough to make wise decisions!' one more another quipped in conclusion: 'Good for her and her point is valid and all but comparing children to a makeup line is sending me.' What do you make of Miley's reason for not having kids? Let me know in the comments below!
