MILEY Cyrus wants to be considered a role model - not an idol.
The 16-year-old singer and actress says she’s happy for people to look up to her, but she doesn’t to be an idealistic figure that teenagers want to be like.
“If you look at me as a role model I agree with it. If you look at me as an idol, I don’t agree,” she said.
“An idol for me is someone that you want to replicate. You want to be them.
“I don’t wish that on anyone, to lose what they have personally, because that’s when your spark goes.”
Miley recently revealed that she’s planning to dress up as Dolly Parton for her 17th birthday in November.
“I really want to do a Dolly Parton themed party for my 17th but it’s going to be really cold so I don’t want to go to Dollywood because it’s going to be freezing,” she said.
“But I want all my friends to come and rent out a place and play all Dolly Parton music and have everyone dress up as their favourite Dolly moment.
