    What 15 Of Your Favourite Disney Stars Look Like Now, 10 Years Later

    A lot has happened in the last ten years. At the beginning of 2007, Apple announced the very first iPhone, the final Harry Potter book was released - "Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows" - the Transformers movie hit theatres, and Grey's Anatomy was only in its fourth season. In only ten short years, a lot has happened, and we can't help but look back on so many of the last decade's highlights.

    Of course, ten years ago many of us were still hooked on a little network called the Disney Channel, which featured a ton of our favourite shows, like Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverley Place, and The Suite Life of Zac & Cody. While we've all grown up quite a bit since we last tuned in to our favourite characters, we haven't quite given up on the stars who portrayed those young and energetic roles. In fact, we all still get pretty excited when we see Miley Cyrus or Selena Gomez over Instagram, releasing new music or starring in a new movie.

    Ten years later, we have had to come to terms with the fact that our favourite Disney actors have all grown up and have completely shed their Disney innocence. Many have grown up to become super successful artists or have abandoned their acting careers for pursuits in parenthood or brewing beer.

    But one thing is for sure. Now that they're all certified adults, we have no qualms over admitting that most of these former Disney celebs are super hot now that they've outgrown puberty and that awkward teen phase.

    15 Zac Efron Went From Teen Crush To Studly Heartthrob

    In the time that Zac Efron has been in the spotlight, he's gone from fresh-faced singing and dancing teen in the High School Musical movies to a hella ripped dude who appears topless in nearly every movie he stars in, including one of his most recent flicks, Baywatch. And we're so not complaining! In the last ten years, Zac has completely filled out as an actor and as a toned, mega-fine specimen of a man. He's starred in Hairspray, 17 Again, The Lucky One, Neighbours and Neighbours 2: Sorority Rising, Dirty Grandpa, and a ton of others. Since 2007, Zac has been romantically linked to fellow Disney star, Vanessa Hudgens, he fought a homeless man, broke his jaw at home, and has been sober since 2013. Oh, and he's been totally working out… a lot.

    14 Selena Gomez Definitely Grew Up, But Kept Those Youthful Features

    When Selena Gomez first started acting, she was appearing in a beloved television classic, Barney & Friends. It wasn't long before Disney picked up on Selena's charm and gave her a lead in the show, Wizards of Waverley Place. The show ran for four seasons and even included a Disney Channel Original Movie. Her character on Waverley even appeared in a couple of other Disney shows, including Suite Life On Deck and Sonny With A Chance, and Selena sang on a few Disney soundtracks. Her singing career really took off from there, as she went on to form a band, Selena Gomez and the Scene. In the last ten years, Selena has expanded her talent both as a singer and as an actress. She's starred in Ramona and Beezus, Spring Breakers, and voices Mavis in the Hotel Transylvania movies. She's released five albums, released her own clothing line, fragrance, and line of Coach bags, became a UNICEF ambassador, and started her own production company called July Moon Productions, which produced the Netflix show, 13 Reasons Why. To date, Selena is also the most followed person on Instagram!

    13 Corbin Bleu Didn't Give Up On Singing & Dancing

    While working with the Disney crew, Corbin Bleu made a name for himself starring alongside Zac Efron in the High School Musical movies. He also starred in the Disney Original movie, Jump In! While Corbin's career hasn't skyrocketed as much as Zac or Selena's have, he still stuck to his roots over the last ten years. He's released two solo albums, competed in Dancing With The Stars in 2013, took on a few television roles, and even appeared on Broadway in Mamma Mia! and the show, Holiday Inn, The New Irving Berlin Musical. Corbin may not be the talk of the town anymore, but he's certainly keeping busy in the industry as he continues to do what he does best: sing and dance. If you wanna check Corbin out right now, he recently performed as a guest in yet another season of Dancing With The Stars in a salsa trio that aired last month.

Since moving on from her Lizzy character, Hilary has expanded her resume with a variety of movie and TV roles, including a brief stint on Gossip Girl, and has released a couple of recorded albums, including a "greatest hits" soundtrack. She also wrote a book series that included the novels Elixir, Devoted, and True, the first of which became a bestseller.

    5 Miley Cyrus Went Through Some Stuff, But Came Out Better Than Ever

    Hannah Montana was one of the most successful Disney shows back in 2007. It had a touring concert, a 3D movie based on the tour, and a feature film. Miley Cyrus played the teenaged country-pop star, Miley Stewart, whose life was hidden by using a different name than her celebrity alias. The show starred Miley's real dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, and it went on to pigeon-hole Miley as a sweet and innocent girl. When the show ended in 2011, Miley shocked her fans with a major personality transition. After starring in The Last Song opposite fiancee, Liam Hemsworth, Miley released an album called Bangerz, which was a dirty pop album that was marketed with Miley taking on a wild new image.

She also lent her voice in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 as the character Mainframe.
