Jeremy Piven has struck up an unlikely friendship with Miley Cyrus.

Despite their 27-year age difference (Piven is 45; Cyrus is 18), the Entourage star says he had a blast filming So Undercover with the teen star in New Orleans.

"I think I must be an 18-year-old girl because we got along really well," Piven told E! News while promoting his new drama I Melt With You at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. "It was just so much fun. I had so much fun with her and we had great chemistry. It was really really weird -- we're like polar opposites."

Though Cyrus has had her fair share of controversies recently -- she was caught smoking salvia out of a bong on November 28 -- Piven insists the Hannah Montana star has a good head on her shoulders.

"You know, you can judge her, but what were you doing when you were 18?" he asked. "She's kind of amazing. There's something so incredibly refreshing about someone who is exactly who they are. There's nothing pretentious about her. She's this force. She loves to laugh."

I don't know who these other teenagers are that do these kind of things and what not, probably cause I'm not one of them. Hopefully she doesn't go down hill from here.

Though I think he is totally being real when he defends what she does, cuz we all have done things in our teens, I kinda think it's gross that he is so smitten....I mean if she was 24 or something, maybe not so gross....lol

Haters will be haters...let them hate. I'm sure Miley is really concerned as she jet sets across the globe.

I bet she's only being cool to him to try and get a spot on Entourage as Vince's new skank lol
