Justin Timberlake calls Miley Cyrus 'smart and talented' post VMA theatrics

Justin Timberlake has revealed that he thinks Miley Cyrus is smart and talented post her VMA theatrics.

The Sexy Back hitmaker told Matt Lauer on ‘TODAY’ show that he is not saying that he agrees with the way the We Can’t Stop hitmaker presents herself, but he feels that parents tend to pick a role model for their kids in every 10-15 years, Us Magazine reported.

Timberlake said that the question is if parents want their daughters to be like the role models they have picked or not.

Timberlake had earlier defended the 20-year-old singer for her controversial performance at the MTV VMAs, saying that she is young and is letting everyone know that she is growing up.
