London, (ANI): Hannah Montana actress Miley Cyrus has ditched her clean-cut image by getting her nose pierced. The 16-year-old was seen sporting a stud in her nose in a picture of herself and her mother on her Twitter page earlier this week. And her father Billy Ray Cyrus confirmed the new body piercing, saying that he himself took the teen to the studio.

"Her daddy took her (to the piercing studio). She said, ''Daddy, would you take me to get my nose pierced?'' I said, ''Did you ask your momma?'' And she said, ''Yes. Mama said I could do it if you would take me,''" the Daily Star quoted him as telling talk show host Larry King. “I thought kind of it was one of those bizarre moments. But honestly, my life and what we're going through and the things that we've been through, it''s like being in The Twilight Zone. So I just kind of roll with the punches," he added.
