Miley Cyrus Will Return To Acting Under This Condition

Miley Cyrus has been more of a singer than actress these days. In fact, it has been five years since she has acted. Her last appearance was on the dystopian television series Black Mirror in 2019. In the episode, Cyrus starred as Ashley O, a larger-than-life music artist that young girls go crazy over.

In the Pop Issue of W Magazine Monday (June 3), Miley Cyrus will return to acting if a certain condition is met. The 31-year-old Grammy winner says she would like to act again, but only if the role is "right." She explained to the publication that "it’s kind of hard for people to see past me and buy into a character. The character would either need to be an extension of myself or someone—or something—with a personality that can conquer my own. I would need a character that is bigger than me."

In her last role in Black Mirror, she portrayed a pop singer whose creativity is restricted by her controlling aunt. She'd rather make sad and brooding music that reflects her life she has no control over than the upbeat pop hits she is forced to make. Her aunt laces her with a drug that puts her into a coma.

Though she played a character that is familiar to her Hannah Montana alter ego as a teen pop star, the serious parts in the episode showed Cyrus still has her acting chops.

Reacting to Cyrus' interest in returning to acting on X (formerly Twitter), fans were all for it and offered suggestions for what they wanted to see the "Flowers" singer in. One user said, "CAST HER IN THE NEW WHITE LOTUS OR KNIVES OUT MOVIE." Another fan commented, "casting directors just ran to their computers." Others want her to return to her Hannah Montana roots and said things like, "YES!!!! HANNA MONTANA REBOOT PLEASE."

More fans expressed what kind of roles they wish to see Miley in. One person said, "I hope it would be more serious darker roles." Another loved her Black Mirror performance and said, "We need another ASHLEY TOO EPISODE."

Elsewhere in the interview, Cyrus spoke about her friendship with Beyoncé and how their collaboration on Cowboy Carter came about. She told the publication that she wrote the duet “II Most Wanted" almost three years ago. “It really encompasses our relationship," she said, adding that she told Bey, "I told her, 'We don’t have to get country; we are country. We’ve been country.'"

"Pansexuality" is when someone experiences physical, romantic, and/or emotional attraction to a person regardless of their gender identity, per GLAAD. This is one of several terms under the bi+ umbrella.

While there are many overlaps between pansexuality and bisexuality, the official definitions differ in their approach to gender. The prefix pan- means "all," while bisexuality is the attraction to multiple gender identities. According to Stonewall, there may be individuals who align with the way pansexuality is defined yet identify with the term bisexuality. Others may use pansexual and bisexual interchangeably.

Like bisexuality, pansexuality is often associated with negative connotations. Often, those who identify with being labeled as an experimentation phase or to be a stepping stone to being gay. However, according Stonewall, the term pansexual has been included in the Oxford English Dictionary since the early 1900s and has been used in its current definition since at least the late 1960s.

LGBTQ+ people have long been using a range of different terms to describe their identities. As we've progressed as far as social acceptance and social media, the terms are more widespread.
