Jackson From Hannah Montana Is Unrecognizable Now

Current photos of Earles show a man who's practically unrecognizable but in the best way possible. Though he was technically an adult when filming "Hannah Montana," he had to give off the persona of a nerdy Malibu teen, which was doable thanks to his 5'5" stature. Now, it appears his vibe is allowed to match his age.

Once known for his shaggy locks, Earles can now be seen sporting a short-styled look on his Instagram, as well as the occasional bit of facial hair. The actor has also upped his fashion game, transitioning from the plaid shirts, shorts, and flip flops that marked his "Hannah Montana" days to dress shirts and tasteful tees. Style isn't the only thing that has changed in Earles' life since the 2000s. In 2017, he married social media personality Katie Drysen.

Fans of "Hannah Montana" will get to see this fresh version of Earles when he appears as a guest star in the forthcoming "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" Season 3, as per TV Insider. Earles may have a revamped image, but it's clear that his willingness to be involved with Disney hasn't wavered, even after all these years. Neither has his appreciation for the diehard following of "Hannah Montana." Earles regularly utilizes his social media to mark milestones of the show, including its 15-year anniversary and inclusion on the Disney+ streaming platform.
