David Archuleta Calls ‘Hannah Montana’ Experience ‘Epic’
In September 2025, Archuleta shared what it was like being part of “Hannah Montana.” The former “American Idol” contestant reflected on his experience and the show’s lasting impact on his career years later.
“It was epic. It was so fun,” Archuleta said in an episode of “Zach Sang Show.” “I did not realize how long, like, just one episode would last with so many people.”
The singer noted that he appeared in just one episode, yet fans still remember it years later. Some even recall him more from “Hannah Montana” than his run on “American Idol.”
“I’m like, I was only on one episode. How do y’all remember me?” he added. “And years later, and they’re still like, randomly come up to me, not even because of ‘American Idol’ or singing, it’s just, ‘you’re on Hannah Montana,weren’t you?’ It’s pretty funny to see that.”
Archuleta joined the stars of “Hannah Montana,” including Miley Cyrus, Jason Earles, Moisés Arias, Shanica Knowles, Anna Maria Perez de Tagle and Cody Linley.
Meanwhile, Emily Osment was notably absent from the event as she is filming for “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.”
Other celebrities at the premiere included Rei Ami, Willow and Jaden Smith, Lainey Wilson, JoJo Siwa, Ilona Maher, Dara Reneé, and more.
