Lindsay Miller, you'll be happy to hear Joseph Gordon-Levitt is aware of your daring YouTube invitation. But don't get your hopes up just yet.

The 50/50 star spoke to E! News exclusively about the now-famous video posted online by Miller, a super cute 26-year-old gal diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer who—extremely touched by his recent cancer dramedy—asked him out on a coffee date.

So will he take her up on the offer?

"Two other people were telling me about this, but no I have not heard about it until then," Joe told us at Tuesday night's Manhattan premiere of fellow 50/50 costar Bryce Dallas Howard's new short film.

Miller's invitation has since gone viral, garnering over 125,000 views on YouTube as of press time.

Posting on her blog, the Los Angeles native and self-decribed "anonymous cancer 'liver'" said that after seeing 50/50 and interviews with Gordon-Levitt, she felt that the actor "gets" what it's like to have the disease. And the fact that "he's cute" didn't hurt either.

"Life is short. So, why not?" she wrote.

Alas, Gordon-Levitt has yet to get glimpse of it (say it ain't so, Joe?), having been busy working on The Dark Knight Rises, which just wrapped an epic seven-month shoot on Monday.

"I haven't seen the video," the actor said, though curiousity clearly piqued, he added, "I'll have to watch it."

Here's hoping her wish comes true.
