Here we have listed ten memorable Disney Channel celebs who had major glow ups!

10 Miley Cyrus

It is pretty impossible to create a Disney Channel glow-up list without including the one and only Miley Cyrus. Since Miley's major rise to fame after her breakout role as Miley Stewart in the Disney Channel series Hannah Montana, she has taken the world by storm and is quite possibly one of the biggest stars to come out of Disney. After the series ended in 2011, Miley took it upon herself to show the world who she really was and it definitely caused some uproar and controversy. But even with all of the back and forth from her good girl phase to the bad girl phase, it is safe to say that Miley is still just the same little girl at heart that we all know and love!

9 Hilary Duff

Hilary Duff is definitely the OG of Disney Channel icons after starring as the main character in the series Lizzie McGuireSince the series was created during the time when Disney had a crazy 65 episode rule where all series had to be canceled after running the 65 episodes we didn't get to really watch Hilary grow up on the small screen- but that doesn't mean that she wasn't a huge part of everyone's childhood! Now that nearly 16 years have passed since the show ended, Hilary announced that the show is getting a reboot though filming has come to a slight halt.

8 Zac Efron

When Zac Efron stepped onto the Disney Channel scene in 2006 with his role as teen heartthrob Troy Bolton in High School Musical he became every teenage girl's crush worldwide. After starring in 3 sequels of the Disney Channel film series, Zac went onto star in some more adult films and projects such as Dirty Grandpa, Neighbors 2Baywatch, as well as portraying Ted Bundy in Netflix's Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.

As if anyone would have thought that Zac could have gotten any better in the looks department, he definitely bypassed everyone's expectations and doesn't look anything like his High School Musical days!

7 Christy Carlson Romano

Along with starring as the adorably real Ren Stevens on Disney Channel's Even Stevens and the voice of crime-fighting Kim Possible, Christy Carlson Romano is definitely one of the biggest OG Disney celebs to date. We watched her grow up on the small screen as well as teach those with annoying little brothers how to really deal with them! Since her Disney career ended in 2007 Christy has stayed away from the spotlight and now has a family of her own and she runs her own super fun YouTube channel.

6 Shia LaBeouf

Another Even Stevens star, Shia LaBeouf, was known for being the hilarious yet annoying little brother in the Disney Channel series that everyone loved getting to watch. Shia really showed his goofy side with the character and quickly became everyone's favorite character. Since the series ended, he went on to star as the lead in the 2007 film Transformers he decided to take a small hiatus from acting. But nowadays Shia is trying to start up his acting career again with films like The Peanut Butter Falcon and Honey Boy!

5 Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato is another Disney star who gained most of her fame through a Disney Channel original movie with her role as Mitchie Torres in Camp Rock by starring alongside the Jonas Brothers while they were still in their prime. After Demi gained so much recognition from the film, she went on to star in her own Disney Channel series titled Sonny With A Chance in 2009.

4 Dylan & Cole Sprouse

The lovable twin stars of Disney Channels The Suite Life of Zack and Cody literally grew up before our eyes on the small screen as Dylan and Cole Sprouse were both only 13 years old when they were cast on the show and they went on to star in the spin-off series titled The Suite Life on Deck until they were 18. Since they have parted their ways with Disney, the brothers have gone on their own separate paths. Dylan Sprouse now finds himself writing scripts for films and starring in smaller screen projects like Dismissed, while Cole Sprouse is now known for his role as Jughead on the hit series Riverdale.

3 Zendaya

Zendaya was only 14 years old when she got her first Disney role on Shake It Up alongside her co-star Bella Thorne and the two definitely managed to make big names for themselves after the series ended. She went on to star as the main lead in another Disney Channel series titled KC Undercover and she also reunited with Bella again for the Disney Channel original movie Frienemies, bringing many more big roles her way! Nowadays, Zendaya stars in more adult roles in both film and television such as Spider-Man: Far From Home and HBO's Euphoria.

2 Brenda Song

Brenda Song got her first start at Disney fame when she was 15 and starred as the hilarious, scatterbrained, and rich London Tipton on Disney Channel's The Suite Life Of Zach and Cody, which ultimately lead to her being a huge fan favorite on the entire series. After the series ended and Disney went on to start the spin-off series titled The Suite Life on Deck, Brenda came along with her nostalgic character!

1 Selena Gomez

Although Selena Gomez was first seen on the children's series Barney and Friends at the young age of 7, most know her from her role as Alex Russo on Disney Channel's Wizards Of Waverly Place. Being the star of a Disney sitcom at the young age of 14 really allowed viewers to practically watch her grow up on the small screen as the series ended in 2012 when she was 19 years old. Nowadays, Selena Gomez is a producer of the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why along with creating new music and being a huge supporter of UNICEF.
