Liam Hemsworth's family urged him to split from ex-fiance Miley Cyrus

The 23-year old Australian actor's parents Leonie and Craig and his older brothers Chris and Luke had allegedly staged an intervention to try to get him to break-up with the 20-year old daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus in April, Contactmusic reported.

Sources revealed that they have been supporting the ‘Hunger Games' actor since he confirmed his split from the ‘Wrecking Ball' singer last month.
