Jason Earles Said Disney Execs Asked Him To Wait On Having Kids After Finding Out That He Lied About His Age On “Hannah Montana”

Elsewhere in the episode, Jason noted that Steve Peterman, who was one of the show’s executive producers, ended up thanking him for lying about his age. “‘Thank you so much for lying to us,’” Jason recalled Steve saying, “‘Because we would have gotten nervous if we found out during the pilot, and we would have recast you.’”
