The most surprising Hannah Montana cameos: From John Cena to Dwayne Johnson and even a Coronation Street soap star as show celebrates its 20th anniversary
John Cena
In 2010, WWE professional John Cena made a cameo in the fourth and final season - playing himself in a dream sequence with Jackson.
And fans were left shocked after figuring out 15 years on from the episode, that in real life, Jason and John are the same age - both 48.
In fact, with John born on April 23, 1977 and Jason born on April 26, there are just three days between them.
That means the pair were both 33 at the time.

Dolly Parton
She is her godmother in real life, so it was only natural that country legend had a recurring role as Miley's Aunt Dolly.
Appearing in numerous episodes, Dolly revealed Miley persuaded executives to write her into the series and gave her a whole new following from a younger audience.
The pair have since collaborated numerous times with a rendition of Miley's hit Wrecking Ball appearing on Dolly's 2023 album Rockstar.
The duo also famously performed together for an NBC special for New Year's Eve in 2023 and there are rumours that should a Dolly Parton biopic be in the works, Miley would fill her shoes.

Austin Butler
Long before he earned his dream role as the King of Rock Elvis Presley, Austin Butler's character was slightly less of a heart throb.
