Parker: 'Miley Cyrus is like a viking'

Sarah Jessica Parker has praised Miley Cyrus and described her as a "viking".

The Sex And The City star met the Hannah Montana actress when Cyrus shot a cameo for the film's sequel, and Parker was shocked to discover just how tall the 17-year-old is.

She told MTV."I had very little [time] with Miley, but I was astounded by her height. Did you know that she's tall? She's like a viking. I had no idea!"

Parker also went on to describe the 'Party In The USA' singer as "a beautiful young lady and very self-possessed".

"I literally was not in the scene with her. I was in the scene, but we were not [on screen] together. But she was lovely and on-time and prompt and professional, very sweet.

"She worked two hours and she was in and out."
