Emma Stone responds to Ryan Gosling lookalike’s prom proposal

Cape Town – After making an elaborate video asking actress Emma Stone to be his prom date, Arcadia High School student Jacob Staudenmaier has received an answer.

Talking to Good Morning America, 17-year-old Jacob revealed that Emma responded to his La La Land inspired "prom-posal" with a letter saying that she loved the video, but that she couldn’t make it due to work commitments. 

The letter reads as follows: "Jacob, thanks for making the greatest proposal I have ever received,” Stone wrote. “I can’t tell you what an honor that was and how much I smiled through that entire beautifully orchestrated video. I’m in London working, but I hope you have the best time at prom, and I’m grateful you thought of me. Thank you. P.S. I do see Gosling around the eyes. Love, Emma."
