Is it weird to say I adore my teacher?

I am graduating from grad school I’m a few months, and I have the same teachers since I started my undergrad. A student was asking me about a teacher since I have been at the school for 6 years, and i said that i adore him because he is such a great teacher who really cares about students and wants them to learn. Well, of course, he was standing about 15 feet away from me when I said that, and I now i think he thinks I’m weird for saying I adore him....I just really respect him.
