Unbelievable Age Reveal: Jason Earles and John Cena Are the Same Age!
SHOCKING AGE REVELATION ROCKS HANNAH MONTANA FANS
In a jaw-dropping twist that has left fans reeling, it's been revealed that Jason Earles and John Cena are not just co-stars from a beloved Disney Channel show, but also the same age! Yes, you read that right - 48-year-old Jason, who played Jackson Stewart, the lovable older brother of Miley Cyrus' iconic character in Hannah Montana, is actually the same vintage as WWE superstar John Cena.
The bombshell revelation has left fans scratching their heads and scrambling to Google for more information. "How are they the same age? One is a kid and the other is an adult!" exclaimed one Twitter user. "Wut? How?" chimed in another. The hilarious reactions are flooding social media platforms, with many struggling to wrap their minds around this mind-boggling fact.
But here's the kicker - Jason was just 29 when he started playing Jackson in the hit series! Talk about a youthful look for someone who's been around the block a few times. It turns out that Jason had already built an impressive resume, with minor roles in Malcolm in the Middle, MADtv, and American Pie under his belt before landing the coveted role of Jackson.
The Disney Channel show, which ran from 2006 to 2011, was a global phenomenon, catapulting Miley Cyrus to stardom as she played the dual role of Miley Stewart and pop sensation Hannah Montana. The ensemble cast also included Billy Ray Cyrus, Emily Osment, and Mitchell Musso. In an ironic twist, Jason's stint on Hannah Montana paved the way for his future projects, including Kickin' It and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.
But what really gets our attention is Jason's candid admission about his Disney Channel contract. Speaking to a podcast, he spilled the beans that he "got f**d" by the technicalities of his AFTRA basic cable agreement. Essentially, this meant that he didn't reap the full benefits of royalties from reruns of the show.
"So, if they air the episode a bunch of times, you make money on the back side," Jason explained. "For Hannah, because it was that agreement, whatever they pay you above scale, they can credit back in your residuals." Ouch! Talk about being shortchanged.
Despite this shocking revelation, Jason is still grateful for the opportunities that Hannah Montana provided him. "I'm doing fine," he said matter-of-factly. "I live in an apartment instead of a house, I feel like I should have generational wealth based on the Hannah success." Ah, the bitter taste of missed royalties!
As we marvel at this jaw-dropping age revelation and Jason's juicy confessions about his Disney Channel contract, we can't help but wonder what other secrets are hiding behind closed doors in Hollywood. Stay tuned for more explosive news from The Scholarly Note!
