Emma Stone may still be dating Andrew Garfield. But does Jim Carrey have a chance to steal her heart after all?

As you may recall, the 50-year-old funnyman posted a, um, love letter on YouTube last year in which he expressed his feelings for the 23-year-old actress.

Sure, it may have been done for laughs, but it still kinda creeped all of us out nevertheless.

All of us except Stone, it seems.

"I was so flattered I can't even tell you," the Amazing Spider-Man star reveals in the latest issue of New York Magazine. "Honest! I was really flattered, I really was!"

In fact, Stone has nothing but good things to say about Carrey.

"Right before the video came out, we were at the MTV Movie Awards. Jason Sudeikis hosted," she recalls. "There was like five of us, and we just went on this tangent of talking nice behind Jim Carrey's back. Jason was talking about how great [Carrey] was when he went on Saturday Night Live and how he was just like a comedic genius. Everyone was kind of weighing in, like 'He's the best. He's amazing.' 

"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."

Note to Garfield: Hang on to this one. She's definitely a keeper!
