Miley Cyrus Reveals She Was Originally Cast in Hotel Transylvania Before Being Replaced by Selena Gomez

Music and television star Miley Cyrus has revealed that she was originally cast to voice Mavis, the daughter of Dracula, in the 2012 animated comedy Hotel Transylvania. However, her involvement in the project came to an abrupt end due to a personal incident that sparked controversy.

According to Cyrus, she lost the role after posting a photo of herself with a suggestive birthday cake she had bought for then-fiancé Liam Hemsworth. “I got kicked off Hotel Transylvania for buying Liam a penis cake for his birthday and licking it,” she stated on social media, reflecting on how the studio reacted to the image and its implications.

After her departure from the film, Selena Gomez was cast as Mavis and went on to voice the character in the entire film series. Gomez’s performance became central to the franchise, helping it achieve massive box office success and a loyal fanbase.

This revelation highlights how personal actions—especially for high-profile figures—can affect casting decisions in major film productions. It also sheds light on the behind-the-scenes decisions that shape Hollywood’s family-oriented projects and their public expectation.
