Miley Cyrus says she was not the only one to have the hots for her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth - even her mum had a crush on him.

"I don't know who had a bigger crush on him at the beginning, my mom or me," the New York Daily News quoted Cyrus, as telling "Entertainment Tonight."

Cyrus, 17, who first met the Aussie hunk, 19, on the set of their upcoming Disney flick Last Song, went on: "I was like, 'No, maybe he's just too pretty. I don't want to be with someone who's better looking than me.

"That's, like, awkward."

But her mum, Tish, who was an executive producer on the movie, pushed her to date Hemsworth.

Cyrus said: "My mom was like, 'No, he is cute - he is!'" (ANI)
