A 53-year-old who claims he is secretly engaged to Miley Cyrus has been charged with trying to stalk the US teen star.

一名53岁的男子自称与Miley Cyrus秘密订婚，现在因试图跟踪美国青年明星而遭指控。

Filiming on The Last Song is expected to end later this month

Mark McLeod was arrested after trying to contact the Hannah Montana actress on a film set near Savannah, Georgia.

McLeod was previously¹ arrested in June for disorderly conduct and obstruction²（阻碍，妨碍） after he attempted to breach³（违反） a security cordon⁴（哨兵线，警戒线） around the set.

He has been ordered not to return to Tybee Island, east of Savannah, and to stay away from Cyrus and her family.

Cyrus, 16, is currently shooting her new Disney film, The Last Song, in the popular holiday spot.

'Secret messages'

McLeod was arrested on Tuesday after security men reported he had returned to the beachside movie set at the weekend.

Police said they had been on the lookout⁵ for him since his earlier arrest on 22 June.

A police report said McLeod claimed he had met Cyrus 18 months earlier and that she had accepted his marriage proposal.

He is said to have told police that Cyrus' father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, approved of their relationship and that Cyrus had sent him "secret messages" through her TV show.

Cyrus has become a global superstar since first appearing in Disney's Hannah Montana TV show in 2006.

The singer plays her first UK dates later this year, beginning at London's O2 Arena⁶ in December.
