Liam Hemworth recently flew to London to spend some quality time with his older brother and have some time apart from Miley Cyrus following the controversy she stirred with her 2013 Video Music Awards on Aug. 25, Hollywood Life reported.

The Australian actor was spotted with his brother, Thor star Chris Hemsworth, in London on Aug. 31. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire star, 23, left Sketch nightclub about 25 minutes after Chris, 30, and his wife, Elsa Pataky exited. Liam appeared somewhat downhearted, according to the report. He wore a black, leather bomber jacket and a pair of dark jeans.

Miley Cyrus Liam Hemsworth Fight Inspired Her Controversial VMA Performance?

Liam' night out with his brother took place almost a week after his fiancee, 20, made headlines with a raunchy and twerking-filled performance of We Can't Stop and Blurred Lines at the MTV Video Music Awards. She performed his hit single on stage alone in a one piece ensemble, and afterwards changed into nude-colored shorts and a bra to sing with Thicke and grind on him as she showed off her twerking skills.

Liam was reportedly "mortified" by Cyrus' performance and is being pressured by his friends to distance himself from the singer after her stage act, according to Radar Online. Sources said the on-stage number was embarrassing for the young actor, whose career is taking off in the U.S., and his friends are worried that Cyrus' actions will have a negative effect on his career.

"Liam really does care about Miley, but her racy new look and sort of ghetto attitude isn't exactly what he signed up for," one unnamed friend told the website. "'His entire team is urging him to part ways with her because she's nothing but negative for his reputation and career. Liam is a serious actor with a growing career, while Miley has just turned into a joke. "

The stars met three years ago on the set of their film The Last Song. They got engaged in the summer of 2012.
