It seems Jennifer Aniston has set her sights on Joaquin Phoenix.
The actress reportedly has a 'huge crush' on the actor and is looking forward to go on a date with him.
She is believed to have set up a business meeting with Phoenix after the pair met at a screening of his documentary 'I'm Still Here' in August.
Aniston, who have a soft corner for Phoenix since a long time, is reportedly trying to set a date as she finds him hugely attractive.
'He's single, funny and handsome, and she likes that he is a bit kooky. There have been calls, texts and emails to set up a meeting -- ostensibly to cast him in a new movie project - but apparently Jen just wants to spend more time with him because he's her huge crush,' Stuff.co.nz quoted a source as telling Grazia magazine.
'Even if this was strictly a business meeting, Jen walked away like a love-struck schoolgirl. She's had a crush on him from a distance for a long time, but after meeting him, she was fascinated by his charisma and presence,' the source added.
Phoenix is reportedly reluctant to get involved in such a high-profile romance, but does enjoy spending time with Aniston.
'They certainly seemed to get on, but he likes to keep a very low-profile, so a romance with Jen would be difficult. However, she's one of the most eligible girls in Hollywood, so it's certainly not out of the question that they could become a couple,' said the source.

The Polish-born actress, often dubbed the 'Queen of Horror' for her roles in classic Hammer films, passed away at a South London hospital after collapsing a few days ago, reports the BBC.
Doctors are reported to have told her that she was suffering from heart failure.
Pitt's daughter Stephanie Blake said that her mother's death had come as a 'huge surprise'.
"She could be incredibly generous, loving, and she'll be sorely missed," she said.
Blake added that she wanted her mother to be remembered as the 'Countess Dracula' with the 'wonderful teeth and the wonderful bosom'.
The star's death comes just weeks after Roy Ward Baker, the director of Pitt's movie The Vampire Lovers, died at the age of 93.
Marcus Hearn, the official historian for Hammer, called Pitt a 'talented actress and fine writer'.
"She was partly responsible for ushering in a bold and brazen era of sexually explicitly horror films in the 1970s, but that should not denigrate her abilities as an actress," he said, adding: "All fans of Hammer and of British horror are going to miss her terribly".
