Aussie actor and Miley Cyrus

THE snaps suggested Australian actor Liam Hemsworth had hit more than the Hollywood big time by striking up a hot relationship with teen superstar Miley Cyrus.

There they were frolicking, hugging - and at one point kissing - while fully clothed in the water at Savannah, Georgia. Indeed, it was too good to be true: they were simply on day one of their three-month filmshoot for the new Disney flick The Last Song.

But it appears the pair have hit it off, nevertheless.

Hemsworth, the younger brother of fellow actor Chris, has been cast as the Hannah Montana star's love interest. It's a big step up for Hemsworth, who has had small roles in Neighbours and the adult pay TV drama Satisfaction.

If Cyrus's enormous popularity translates to box-office sales, it could be huge. The movie sees Cyrus as a rebellious teen forced to spend summer with her estranged father. Hemsworth plays one of the local cool crowd.
