How Logan Lerman used papayas and 'Sex and the City' to woo his fiancée
The "Oh, Hi!" star became engaged to artist Ana Corrigan in late 2023. Logan Lerman isn't one to play games: If he's into you, he'll make it clear. In an interview with Bustle published on Friday, the 33-year-old actor revealed the 'totally weird' lengths he went to 'lure' his fiancée, ceramist Ana Corrigan, into spending more time with him early into their relationship. 'When my fiancée and I were early on dating, I used to lure her to hang out with me by getting these really special papayas. I'd order them and take photos and send them to her and be like, 'Look at these papayas! You want to hang out tonight? I mean, I have really good fruit,'' he told Bustle. But Lerman didn't stop at 'special papayas' to maintain Corrigan's interest. 'I'd be like, 'God, how can I message her?' This is psycho, but I'd record the opening to Sex and the City as if I was watching it, even though I wasn't,' he said. 'I'd be like, 'Hey, I'm watching Sex and the City…' and try to hang out that way. There's some really crazy shit that I've done, but we all do crazy shit when we're in love.' Lerman's Bustle interview isn't the first time he's publicly spoken about his and Corrigan's relationship. The Perks of Being a Wallflower actor, who cites not liking movies, music and concerts as red flags, revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show in 2024 that he and Corrigan met on a dating app. It wasn't long before Lerman knew he wanted something serious with her. 'Honestly, right away. I knew right away. I swear, I really did,' Lerman told Barrymore. Lerman's luring tactics seem to have left a lasting impression on the 30-year-old artist: He and Corrigan became engaged in late 2023. 'We ended up in Central Park. My fiancée pointed out the rowboats, and I was like, 'Oh, let's do it.' And that's when I learned I don't know how to row a boat at all. I was terrible at it,' Lerman said of the proposal during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2024. Corrigan ended up rowing the boat, while Lerman regretfully sat back. 'Finally, she rowed us to a quiet part of the lake there, and I popped the question. It was great. It went really well,' Lerman added. 'She said yes. Thankfully.' Lerman's starring role in the upcoming dark comedy Oh, Hi! marks a departure from his real-life, hopeless romantic self. In theaters July 25, the film stars Molly Gordon as Iris and Lerman as Isaac, who embark on their first romantic getaway together. But their blissful weekend turns sour when Isaac reveals that he isn't actually looking for something serious. Iris then handcuffs Isaac to the bed before desperately trying to show him all the ways they're actually compatible as a couple. 'I had a lot of empathy for those people that I dated in the past and have hope for them to get to a place where they can be happy in a relationship,' Lerman told Bustle. 'I had the same thing with Isaac. I was like, 'I really hope that he can get to a place where he can be happy with someone.'' Solve the daily Crossword

New AI app claims it can read your mind through your face. Here's how
At a time when mental health awareness is on the rise and technology is more personal than ever, a new artificial intelligence application is blurring the line between self-care and surveillance. Emobot , a French medical tech startup, has developed an app that uses facial recognition to monitor emotional states—just from your smartphone's selfie camera. The app is already being used by hundreds of patients, mainly in France, where it is classified as a medical device. According to The Metro , Emobot tracks facial expressions throughout the day and creates emotion graphs much like a fitness tracker logs steps or heart rate. The goal? To help psychiatrists monitor mood swings, gauge treatment effectiveness, and even detect early signs of relapse in patients battling depression. It Watches You—But Not Like You Think Understandably, the idea of an app that keeps your camera running in the background all day might raise some eyebrows. Emobot co-founder Samuel Lerman admitted to The Metro that the team was initially "skeptical" about user acceptance. 'The camera is open in the background all the time,' he explained. 'However, the feedback was pretty good.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If You Eat Ginger Everyday for 1 Month This is What Happens Tips and Tricks Undo To address privacy concerns, Lerman clarified that no visual data is transmitted to a central server or stored. All AI processing takes place locally on the user's phone, and any images are immediately deleted after analysis. In its next iteration, the app may also analyze users' voice tones through the phone's microphone to gather more data on emotional well-being. The Face of Future Healthcare? When Metro reporter Jen Mills tested Emobot's emotion recognition tech at the VivaTech conference in Paris, the live facial analysis software identified her as 'pleased' and 'bored' at the same time—highlighting the complex spectrum of human emotion the app attempts to map. MORE STORIES FOR YOU ✕ « Back to recommendation stories I don't want to see these stories because They are not relevant to me They disrupt the reading flow Others SUBMIT Lerman believes Emobot is a breakthrough in mental health diagnostics. 'It helps doctors track patients' responses to treatment as well as detect sudden deterioration of their mood,' he said. It could serve as a real-time warning system for depression and burnout, particularly for users at high risk of relapse. Emobot's launch comes amid a larger trend within the tech world, where mental health is becoming a central focus. At VivaTech 2025, which featured over 14,000 startups from 50 countries, AI-powered healthcare solutions were among the most discussed innovations. The surge in interest reflects a growing belief that digital tools can—and should—be used to support mental well-being in daily life.

Your Phone's Selfie Camera Can Now Detect Depression. Here's How
A new technology is emerging that utilises the front-facing camera on devices to analyse emotions and monitor mental health. An app called Emobot is already being used by hundreds of patients to track their mood and assess the effectiveness of their depression treatment. The app analyses facial expressions throughout the day and generates a report, similar to a step count or heart rate graph. According to co-founder Samuel Lerman, Emobot is classified as a medical device in France, and the company is collaborating with psychiatrists to prescribe it to patients. According to The Metro, the team was initially afraid people would find this too intrusive, given the app constantly watches you, and a future version will even listen to your tone of voice as you go about your day via the phone microphone. Mr Lerman said, "The camera is open in the background all the time." So we were a bit skeptical about that aspect; however, the feedback was pretty good." He told The Metro that no photos from the camera are transmitted to a central database or stored, as they are processed locally by AI on the user's phone and deleted. This technology is similar to that being developed for office workers to check if they are really sitting at their computer or if they appear tired. We tried the emotion mapping software on display at the VivaTech conference in Paris, and a real-time image showed reporter Jen Mills as appearing both 'pleased' and 'bored' at the same time. Mr Lerman said the app helps doctors track patients' responses to treatment as well as 'detect sudden deterioration of their mood' and relapse risk. The focus on mental well-being was also evident at VivaTech 2025, where over 14,000 startups from more than 50 countries gathered. While artificial intelligence (AI) dominated the event, many of the most discussed innovations used AI and technology to improve healthcare and mental health, signalling a growing prioritisation of mental health in the tech industry.

Now your phone can tell if you have depression using the selfie camera
The app will track your emotions throughout the day (Picture: Jen Mills/Emobot) Most of us stare at our phone or computer for hours every day – and soon, it could be staring back. New technology to monitor mental health works by analysing emotions throughout the day using the front-facing camera, producing a daily report similar to step count or a heart rate graph. Hundreds of patients are already using an app called Emobot to track their mood, seeing if their depression is getting worse or responding to treatment. Co-founder Samuel Lerman told Metro that it is classed as a medical device in France, and they are working with psychiatrists to prescribe it to patients. To work as a mood 'thermometer', the app takes a picture of your face every second, and categorises if you're feeling energised, pleased, happy, content, relaxed, bored, sad, or angry using a heat map. Metro reporter Jen Mills looked mostly 'pleased' and 'bored' while visiting the stand, according to the algorithm (Picture: Jen Mills) The team were initially afraid people would find this too intrusive, given the app constantly watches you, and a future version will even listen to your tone of voice as you go about your day via the phone microphone.

He said it could also speed up diagnosis of longterm mental health conditions, such as distinguishing bipolar disorder from depression, which can take years to recognise. For now, it is used in clinical settings, but he sees potential for it to be used by the general public in future too if they want to monitor their mood. Would you use an emotion tracker? No, I won't use any kind of health tracker I'd use a physical health tracker but not this Yes, to get an overall picture of my health To train the algorithm on how to recognise emotions, they asked patients to fill out questionaires on their state of mind while using it. Questionaires on mood are currently the main method of diagnosing mood disorders. They also trained the AI on open source information, and are conducting clinical trials into biomarkers of depression, to improve the accuracy of the results. To get a wider picture of a person's mental state, they also plan to integrate information like sleep, step count, and even the weather. It might sound dystopian to have your phone constantly taking photos of you, but some see it as a logical next step when we track so much of our health already, such as an Apple Watch measuring heart rate variabilty, sleep cycles and wrist temperature. Having such sensitive data collected and digitised also poses a risk, but this is one that all health apps must grapple with — including the NHS, which was hit by a damaging cyber attack last year. Click to enlarge: A graph showing a bipolar patient's transition from mania to depression (Picture: Emobot) Mental health apps were a theme of the Viva Tech conference, Europe's biggest tech event. They are seen as a potential way to address the current shortages in professional help, with many on long waiting lists, or limited by living too far away from treatment. Tech offering AI therapists, remote monitoring, and self help is booming, with investors identifying this and similar as a key growth area that could go from being worth £5.5 billion in 2025 to £17.5 billion by 2032. Michel Treskow, a partner at venture capital firm Eight Roads Ventures, told a panel his company was already investing in the field: 'There is a fundamental shortage of supply practitioners, funding, and time. We believe technology can help address all of these issues to some degree.' Emobot's stand, pictured at the Viva Tech conference in Paris last week (Picture: Jen Mills/Metro) Comparing mental health tech to self-driving Waymo taxis (already a familiar sight in southern California), he said there was an open question about how much tech could replace or add to traditional mental health treatment. 'There are still plenty of people out there who don't want to take a Waymo and would rather stick with somebody driving the car,' he said. 'The question is, is it just as safe? If the answer is yes, then it becomes a choice. If it's not as safe, we ought not to do it.'
