New York, June 20 (ANI): Emma Stone has admitted that she was flattered when Jim Carrey publicly declared his love for her in a bizarre YouTube message last year.

Last August, Carrey had posted a video on his website in which he expressed his feelings for the 'Amazing Spider-Man' star.

I was so flattered I can't even tell you, the New York Daily quoted Stone as telling New York Magazine.

Honest! I was really flattered, I really was! she said.

In the clip, the 50-year-old funnyman declared his love for the 22-year-old actress and his desire to have chubby little freckle-faced kids with her.

Emma, I think you're all the way beautiful. Not just pretty, but smart and kind-hearted. And if I were a lot younger, I would marry you, Carrey said in the video.

Every day, for the rest of your life, you would thank God that I was the appropriate age for you.

But I'm not. I'm 49. I have lines of my face, sometimes a little gray in my heard, and it takes me a little bit longer to pee than it used to, he said.

Carrey later revealed that the bit was for a comedy routine, but said that everything he had expressed in the video was true.

Stone is currently dating her Spiderman co-star Andrew Garfield.

Right before that video came out, we were at the MTV Movie Awards. Jason Sudeikis hosted. There was like five of us, and we just went on this tangent of talking nice behind Jim Carrey's back, Stone said.

And so when (the video) happened, we all kind of talked to each other like, 'Weird, that was the guy we were lauding for, like, 30 minutes.' Have you ever done that? Just all sat around a table saying nice things about one person?

It was the greatest thing. You walk away, and you were just like, 'That felt so good, to talk about how wonderful someone is, she added. (ANI)
