Disney Stars Then And Now: Nick Jonas, Demi Lovato... See How They Have Grown Through Time

It is genuinely surprising how a lot of people had their start on Disney Channel. Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera are just a few of them. The fleet of Disney’s original movies and TV shows introduced many talents into Hollywood and you will be astonished to see how they have changed via these Disney stars then and now pictures.

Zac Efron

Zac Efron was Troy Bolton, the heartthrob of High School Musical franchise and tons of young girls at that time.

After the movies shot him to fame, the actor got totally jacked for films like Baywatch, Neighbors, The Lucky One. He is still a heartthrob but with a very different vibe.

Vanessa Hudgens

Vanessa Hudgens was a standout in the HSM franchise with a girly, cute image. The actress has then gone on to act in more adult ventures like Spring Breakers alongside Selena Gomez or Sucker Punch.

Looking at the Disney stars then and now pictures, we can see her beauty evolving over time.

Ashley Tisdale

Ashley Tisdale’s Sharpay Evans may be the most beloved supporting role in history as she even had her own spin-off, the 2012 film Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure.

She then partook in more films but seems to not be as active as her Disney co-stars.

Hilary Duff

If you are a tween in the early ‘00s, you would remember Lizzie McGuire. Every girl aspired to be her after seeing Hilary Duff playing Lizzie in the sitcom and the 2003 movie. Now, she has become a mother to two adorable kids while working as an entrepreneur.

A Lizzie McGuire reboot in the making, if you haven’t known.

Miley Cyrus

The singer-actress is perhaps one of the most popular former Disney stars. She was shot to fame acting in Hannah Montana from 2006 to 2011. She then shrugged off her good girl image and got on with bold styles.

The actress got married to actor Liam Hemsworth but got divorced after 2 years. Miley Cyrus is dating Cody Simpson and has starred in cult series Black Mirror.

Selena Gomez

Among the Disney stars then and now, Selena Gomez has made quite a career for herself all with singing, acting, and producing.

She began acting in Barney & Friends but it was until Wizards of Waverly Place that she blew up. Her romance and work commitments are always in the core concern of the buzz.
