Miley Cyrus: Australian Men Are "Way Hotter"

For a girl with relatively little experience, Miley Cyrus sure has an opinion about what makes a man attractive.  The 19-year-old star, who recently announced her engagement to 22-year-old Liam Hemsworth, revealed:

"[Australians are] way hotter. There's no competition.  I think there's a masculinity about [Australian guys] that is probably like growing up in the South, like what I did. They are a little bit more respectful, I suppose."

This happened at Wednesday night’s Australians in Film awards where her beau walked away with the “Australians in Film Breakthrough Award.”  Clearly, she feels that the honor was well-earned.

"My dad [singer Billy Ray Cyrus] has always been a really hard worker, so I like it when men work hard," she said. "I think it's important and I always work really hard, so it's good to have someone who is as passionate about what they do, and wants to be great at what they do."

Since the night was about the beginnings of Hemsworth career as an actor, he reflected on being cast opposite Cyrus in 2009’s The Last Song.

"I was fortunate enough to get called back in and read with my now fiancée, and we read together and fell in love, and got married," he told the audience, then added: "Well, not married yet."

Sweetly, Cyrus yelled from her seat: "We will be," and her fiancé echoed her sentiment: "We will be."
