“In his head, he’s really like 12,” Miley says in her new interview with Rolling Stone

Miley Cyrus is featured in a really long but gem-packed interview with Rolling Stone magazine. One of these gems is about how, in her opinion, Justin Bieber needs to stop trying so hard because people are already making fun of him.

Coming from Miley and considering her most recent, attention-grabbing antics, this is truly priceless.

In her defense though, she’s speaking for and not against the Biebs.

“He’s trying really hard. People don’t take him seriously, but he really can play the drums, he really can play guitar, he really can sing,” Miley says.

“I just don’t want to see him [expletive] that up, to where people think he’s Vanilla Ice. I tell him that. Like, ‘You don’t want to become a joke. When you go out, don’t start [expletive]. Don’t come in shirtless.’ But the thing is, I think boys are, like, seven years behind. So in his head, he’s really, like, 12,” the singer continues.

Miley also says that the joke is on those who took offense at her lame twerking at the MTV VMAs 2013 because she wasn’t trying to really twerk, she was just messing with us because she knew no one expected her to even try that.

She also says that this was probably the last time she’d do that, so fingers crossed for that.
