First comes Adam Shankman, then comes The Last Song, then comes Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's engagement!?

According to Shankman, that is. The Rock of Ages director told People at the Los Angeles premiere of the flick that he's responsible for the couple's soon-to-be union.

Shankman, a producer on The Last Song, joked: "I sort of want a finder's fee for Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth…I remember that first day of shooting when they first kissed and Miley walked by my sister [Jennifer Gibgot] after they shot the kissing scene, [and] goes, 'This is gonna work'."

As for why Shankman thinks Miley and Liam are meant for one another? "I'll tell you what's so great. That thing about opposites attract…Their fundamental core values are the same, but he's really mellow and she's really hyper. So it really works together."

So does Adam have any reservations about the young couple taking the leap?

Although he admits "It's extraordinary, and I'm so happy," he is frightened of one thing: "I'm scared at how beautiful those children are going to be."
