Paolo Nutini says One Direction are better role models than Miley Cyrus despite drug video

Paolo Nutini believes Miley Cyrus is a worse role model for kids than members of One Direction.

The band's Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik recently featured in a video taken in a van in Peru that saw the duo light up a joint.

Debate soon ensued about the clip, with the lads' role model status coming under question.

However, Paolo Nutini told Q magazine that he feels Miley Cyrus' flamboyant antics are worse than One Direction's video.

He said: "I saw a photo of Miley Cyrus with her leotard pulled up between the lips of her vagina. Is that all right? Is that f***ing cool? And One Direction can’t have a joint? They’re the bad role models? Come on!"

The Scotsman added that he has smoked marijuana every day since he was 16:

"It just keeps you going…nice. Can the world please get to grips with marijuana? How long can this go on? Don’t get me wrong – you give it to the wrong person, marijuana can spawn all kinds of things – but no more so than alcohol."
