Miley Cyrus Says She Had ‘Undeniable’ Chemistry With Liam Hemsworth in ‘The Last Song’

Miley Cyrus unveiled part 20 of her TikTok series inspired by her new single, “Used to Be Young,” in which she reflects on pivotal moments in her life and career. In the newest video, posted on Friday (Sept. 1), the singer reacts to a photo of herself kissing ex-husband Liam Hemsworth when they starred together in 2010’s The Last Song.

She explained that in 2008, she needed to do “another feature film for Disney,” but she wanted to do something outside of the Hannah Montana universe. “When the screenplay was written, it was time to audition all the guys that would play Will, my boyfriend in the movie,” she recalls. “We had gotten it down from thousands to the final three, and Liam was a part of that final three.”

Cyrus continued, “I think one of the elements that made that movie feel so special was it was watching two very young people fall in love with each other, which was happening in real time and real life. So, the chemistry was undeniable and that was the beginning of a long, 10-year relationship.”

The 30-year-old singer was briefly married to Hemsworth from December 2018 to August 2019. The former couple’s on-off relationship actually lasted much longer — for nearly a decade — outside the bonds of marriage.
