Veteran filmmaker Woody Allen is all praise for his "Irrational Man" actress Emma Stone.

The director-actress duo teamed up for the film after first working together on last year's "Magic in the Moonlight" and the 79-year-old filmmaker feels that Stone is one of the most talented actresses in the industry, reported Us magazine.

"Emma can do everything: She can act, sing, dance, astonish, and she's beautiful and intelligent. She's really got it all. I was writing this script and I was worried about who could possibly pull off this part, and of course Emma could," he said.

The "Midnight in Paris" director said that he is not the only one who feels the actress is one of the best, as many in the industry identify with him.
 

"Nobody ever has anything bad to say about Emma Stone. Whenever I've mentioned I'm working with her on a movie, people brighten up, 'Oh I love her!' I know why they do. She is just adorable," he said.

The 26-year-old "Birdman" actress has made it to the list of Allen's favourite, including Dianne West, Scarlett Johansson, and Diane Keaton.
