Amid romance and hook-up rumors between "Twilight" actor Kellan Lutz and pop star Miley Cyrus, Lutz recently confessed to E! News that he finds Cyrus to be an "amazing girl."
"For Miley, I've been friends with her for six years now and we run in the same circle," Lutz told E! News. "It's always interesting when two public figures who might be single are seen together. Oh let's start a rumor that they might be together...I just laugh it off."
Rumors began flying after 21-year-old Cyrus and 28-year-old Lutz were photographed leaving a private jet in Miami in late December, and despite photos of the two partying together and sharing a kiss on the cheek in Las Vegas late last month, Lutz has adamantly insisted that he is single and currently focused on his career, though he is aware of what's being said about him and Cyrus.
"I don't know all the rumors, but I have an amazing PR team who kind of let me know, 'Just so you know, this is what's being reported,' and then you go, 'Where do they come up with this stuff?' People have edited photos to make it look like you're on a date per se, and this has happened from time to time when I had a girlfriend, or didn't, and now I'm single and very focused on work," he told E! News.
This hasn't satisfied all fans, however, as some still speculate that the two are hooking up casually behind-the-scenes. As for whether or not they'll become the next Hollywood "it"-couple à la Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, only time will tell, though if Lutz is telling the truth, all signs point to no.
"She's an amazing girl and she has a great head on her shoulders. I love hanging out with her because she is who she is and she's such a shining star," Lutz added. "I'm just focused on work but I'm happy to be friends with her."
