Hannah Montana fans are sharing their shock over actor Jason Earles' real age when he starred on the hit series alongside teen Miley Cyrus.

The popular Disney Channel show saw the duo playing teenage siblings, while Miley's actual father Billy Ray Cyrus starred as their dad.

However, while Jason's character Jackson Stewart was meant to be sixteen years of age, the actor was actually 30 years old at the time.

After one fan pointed out the often-forgotten detail in a video on Instagram, fans soon began to share their shock at the fact Jason was closer in age to Billy Ray than Miley.

Instagram user Josh Denney posted a video which read: 'Jason Earles playing a 16-year-old at age 30 was a lot weirder than we think.'

He noted that Jason's character was only meant to be 'a few years older' than Miley but in real life he was 15 years her senior.

Fans then shared their reactions in the comment section as one wrote: 'I'm sorry. He was 30????'

Another replied: 'That's weird as hell.'
