Sure, he acts, dances and directs, but there's yet another talent Adam Shankman can add to his resume: matchmaking.

Shankman was one of the producers of The Last Song, the 2009 romance that introduced Miley Cyrus to now-fiancé Liam Hemsworth, who announced their engagement Wednesday.

"I sort of want a finder's fee for Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth," the Rock of Ages director told PEOPLE at the film's L.A. premiere Friday. "I cannot tell you. It made me cry."

How to Win Over Miley Cyrus

Sure it helps to be good looking, but if a guy really wants to win the heart of teen star Miley Cyrus, he needs to embrace the entire Cyrus clan.

"My parents are a little loco," admits Cyrus, 17, at the press conference for her upcoming drama The Last Song. "We have five [kids] and my mom and my dad and my grandma plus like my 10,000 dogs – so if you love me after you see my lifestyle then you're good. You're a keeper."

That's what she considers her costar and real-life boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, 20, who she realized was more than a costar when she found herself playing "stupid" games.

"I think when you're trying to play it cool and you're like, 'Oh, I won't text back for like the next hour,' that's when you know it's more serious," says Cyrus. "You have no idea how many times I was like, 'Oh he called. I'm not going to call back tomorrow.' When it gets confusing and you're over thinking it, you must really like someone."
