knows there would have been a serious butterfly effect if he had been cast in The Last Song instead of younger brother .

Chris, 40, was asked during the Tuesday, April 30 episode of Vanity Fair’s lie detector series if he was envious that Liam, 34, had nabbed a starring role in the 2010 movie opposite Cyrus, 31. The Marvel star was quick to say no — and pointed out that the film was a huge catalyst for events in his brother’s personal life.

“The world — Liam’s life would’ve been very different without The Last Song, right?” Chris quipped, referencing Liam’s relationship with ex-wife Cyrus.

“What?! Do I want to be in The Last Song? No. What does it say [now]?” he asked with a laugh, to which the examiner repeated, “It’s inconclusive.”

Liam and Cyrus began dating while filming the movie in 2009. Liam proposed three years later, but the duo called off the engagement in September 2013.

After a few years apart, they rekindled their romance in 2016 and moved in together, later tying the knot in an intimate Tennessee ceremony in December 2018. They were married for less than a year before Liam filed for divorce in August 2019, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.

“Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time,” a rep for Cyrus said in a statement to Us Weekly at the time. “Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers. They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. Please respect their process and privacy.”

Following their breakup, rumors swirled that the divorce was linked to infidelity on Cyrus’ part, as she was spotted getting cozy with . Cyrus, however, quickly shut down the cheating allegations.

“Once Liam & I reconciled, I meant it, & I was committed,” Cyrus wrote in a lengthy social media thread at the time. “There are NO secrets to uncover here. I’ve learned from every experience in my life. I’m not perfect, I don’t want to be, it’s boring. I’ve grown up in front of you, but the bottom line is, I HAVE GROWN UP. I can admit to a lot of things but I refuse to admit that my marriage ended because of cheating. Liam and I have been together for a decade. I’ve said it before & it remains true, I love Liam and always will.”
