Miley Cyrus’s father Billy Ray Cyrus has claimed he and his daughter are truly “best friends”. In a recent interview, the country singer talked about the way he brings up Miley, “My definition of being a father is being a best friend. That’s what my dad was to me and that’s what I’ve tried to be for my kids. I’m really good at open communication, whether they’ve got problems of just want to celebrate things they’re proud of. I’m a really good listener. I’m a little bit different than the ‘normal dad’ I try to use a little more psychology.” He also said that what people see on screen is how they get along in real life, “What Miley and I do on Hannah Montana is almost exactly what we do with me being her daddy in real life. I think one of the hooks of the show is the realism between Miley and myself. We love it.”
