In November 2009, prior to the release of "The Last Song," Cyrus told Seventeen magazine that she and her co-star were quite close. Although they were not exactly confirmed to be dating yet, she said of the actor, "I've never gotten along with anyone so well."
"We've decided that any type of relationship that we have, we will always just keep it very DL [on the down low]," she told the publication. "First and foremost, we are best friends, so that's what I tell people all the time."
During a March 2010 interview, Hemsworth got behind the camera to take photos of Cyrus and she opened up about what she likes about him.
"I think we're both deeper than normal people — what they think and how they feel," she said of her co-star in a March 2010 interview with Teen Vogue. "He's very grateful for what he has, but he doesn't let it go to his head. I'm like that, too."
In addition, she added, "It's refreshing to work with an actor who isn't also a singer and dancer and musician and artist and this and that. I'm sick of quadruple threats."
