Miley Cyrus Calls Alex Cooper 'Creepy' After She Moves Next Door
During the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special, Miley Cyrus jokes that Alex Cooper is 'creepy' for moving next door, sparking chatter about fame and neighbors.
During the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special, Miley Cyrus teased that Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper is a 'superfan' who has now become her neighbor, quipping that Cooper is 'kinda creepy.' The crowd laughed as Cyrus added, 'She’s also my neighbour, which is also creepy. She got money, and then she moved next door to me.'
Cyrus’s playful jab came as she explained why Cooper was chosen to host the reunion, acknowledging Cooper’s deep love for the Disney Channel classic that made Cyrus a global star. The moment underscored the lighthearted, self-deprecating banter that accompanied the event, even as fans watched a pop icon celebrate a show from two decades ago.
Cooper’s proximity to Cyrus isn’t a secret in Hollywood lore. The singer recalled that Cooper had already visited her home for a podcast interview in 2020, and the onstage moment turned the neighborly coincidence into a running gag about wealth, fame, and proximity. Cyrus reminded the audience that she bought her ranch in Studio City in 2011, while Cooper only moved into the same Los Angeles neighborhood in 2022 with her husband Matt Kaplan.
The playful digs didn’t end there. In a separate moment prior to the special, Cyrus ribbed Cooper in a Variety YouTube video, challenging her to prove she knew the lyrics to the Hannah Montana hit—an exchange that Cooper reportedly struggled with, according to the old clip. Cyrus teased that Cooper’s loyalty to the show runs deep, even if the lyrics don’t always come to mind on cue.
For fans, the exchange added a kick of celebrity comedy to a nostalgic celebration, blending nostalgia with current pop culture crossovers. As the night highlighted the show that launched Cyrus’s career, it also offered a peek into the humorous, sometimes prickly, bonds that celebrities form off-screen in the same city where fame often thrives.
