"Hannah Montana" star Jason Earles is finally coming clean.
Earles, who played older brother Jackson Stewart on the Disney Channel show, revealed in a March 17 podcast episode that he had a "big secret," one he worried would cost him his job.
"I was desperately afraid that I was going to be fired and recast because I had a big secret. So, when I auditioned for the show, I lied to them and told them I was 18 years old," Earles said on the inaugural episode of "Best of Both Our Worlds: The Official, Unofficial Hannah Montana Podcast."
"It was another reason why I didn't almost audition for the show because I was like 'I'm too old.' The character's 16. Nobody's going to buy it," Earles added.
