Remember Hannah Montana’s love interest Jake Ryan? This is what he looks like now

Would you recognise him?

This week we’ve taken a trip down memory lane as Disney Channel marks 13 years since the first episode of Hannah Montana.

The show which was the epitome of many millennial childhoods is now well over a decade old and so, we’re doing what we always do when a show becomes a ripe old age… googling where various cast members are now.

Obviously, we all know what Miley Cyrus and Emily Osment are up to but, it’s the ones who’ve dwindled from the spotlight that has us intrigued.

Ones like Jake Ryan who we labelled a mega babe when we were 14 and hitting puberty like a train.

So where is Jake Ryan now?

Well, after 3.5 seconds of googling we’ve found out all about Jake Ryan, whose real name is Cody Linley.

Cody is now 29 years old and although he had quite the successful career as a child movie star, he hasn’t been in much as of late, with a small role in the flick Sharknado 5: Global Swarming in 2017.

Yeah.

He’s also grown up a lot, and we’d be hard-pressed to even recognise him from his Hannah Montana days.

Fair play. He’ll always be Jake Ryan to us though.
