Larry David has addressed Jennifer Lawrence's crush on him. During a public talk with editor David Remnick New Yorker Festival on Saturday, October 11, the 67-year-old actor said, "Smart kid. It's a shame that I'm about 40 years older than she is."

Jennifer previously told Vanity Fair that Larry was her ideal man, saying, "I'm in love with him, and I have been for a really long time. I worship Woody Allen, but I don't feel it below the belt the way I do for Larry David."

Larry then joked about Jennifer's "below the belt" comment, saying, "Maybe she's referring to her knees." He said of possible romance, "I don't think I could do it. On one hand it's very flattering and on another hand, it's kind of a shame - in terms of timing." The "Seinfeld" star then joked, "I'd have fun watching the reality show of it though."

During the interview, Larry also hinted at the possibility of a new season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm". He said, "I'm not ruling it out. I would consider it. I'm not tired of it. Other things have come up."

Jennifer, 24, who is currently dating Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin, was previously linked to her "X-Men: First Class" co-star, Nicholas Hoult.
