Joaquin Phoenix

Joaquin Phoenix has a huge crush on Amy Poehler.

The 40-year-old actor, who jokingly claimed he was engaged to his yoga instructor girlfriend recently, is a "little nervous" about meeting the 'Parks and Recreation' star at the Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday (11.01.15) because he finds her "very attractive."

The 'Inherent' star told 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!': "You know who I do find attractive is that Amy Poehler. Yeah, I think she's very attractive."

Despite being a fan of the 43-year-old actress, who is set to host the awards ceremony for the third time with Tina Fey, Joaquin claims he wouldn't know what to say to her.

When the chat show host said: "You're answering questions I didn't even ask," Joaquin replied: "Well, I guess just because she's hosting the Globes and she's having a party and I'm going to go, and I'm a little nervous about seeing her. I don't really know what to say."

The actor also questioned whether the comedienne is in a "solid relationship" with her boyfriend Nick Kroll, who she has been dating for almost two years, and Jimmy responded: "If you want to break it up though, I'm sure Nick would be happy to step aside."

The 'Her' star recently claimed he had proposed to his girlfriend and realised she was "the one" after she she made him perform a complicated yoga position, he but later confessed he'd fabricated the story because his life is "so boring."
