Liam Hemsworth has defended this engagement to Miley Cyrus in 2012, denying that it was "impulsive." The Hunger Games actor, who has recently reconciled with Miley following their break-up in September 2013, asked the Wrecking Ball singer to marry him when he was just 22, but said it was a "well thought-out idea" at the time.
He told News.com.au: "I don't think that was impulsive. That was a well thought-out idea."

The now 26-year old Australian actor echoed those words in a recent interview with GQ Australia. Speaking about his relationship with Miley, he said: "I make my decisions about what's going to make me happy, what I think is right and what I want to do – and I don't worry too much outside of that.
He also opened up about their break-up, admitted it was "hard." He said: "Of course it was hard. But at the time we were going in different directions and it's just what needed to happen. We were both super young and it was a good decision at the time – we both needed that."
When asked if he was dating the former Hannah Montana star again, the actor replied: "People will figure it out, they already have…they're not dumb."

Miley herself sparked rumours that their romance had been rekindled by posting a snap of herself wearing her engagement ring earlier this year. Since then, the couple had been seen out together several times, and on Monday the 23-year-old posted a snap of herself wearing a T-shirt with 'Hemsworth' emblazoned on the back.
She also opened up about how close the pair remained after the break-up, telling ELLE magazine: "Me and Liam are still so close and we love each other, and they make it like there is negativity."
