Emma Stone fears she has ruined her chances of ever working with her idol Diane Keaton by talking about her too much in interviews.

The Help star has become one of Hollywood's hottest rising stars in recent months, and she often credits the Annie Hall legend with sparking her interest in acting.

But Stone is worried her obsession with Keaton will put the veteran actress off working with her on a future project.

She tells Stylist, "I haven't met her, but I talk about her so damn much that she's probably scared of me. I talk about her literally every day.

"She's probably a little freaked out by me, so maybe it's a better idea not to meet her because she's probably going to have to get some sort of restraining order at this point. I'm kidding, I promise I am no threat."

The young actress also reveals why she admires Keaton so much, adding, "I just think she's so beautiful because she is so quintessentially Diane. I think that's kind of amazing."
