Unang Hirit host Lyn Ching is living any girl's fantasy as she recently interviewed Hollywood A-lister Brad Pitt.

Lyn Ching and Brad Pitt

Lyn visited Tokyo, Japan last week for the red carpet premiere and press junket of Brad's latest Disney movie Ad Astra.

The film, which means "to the stars" in Latin, follows an astronaut (Pitt) who goes into space in search of his lost father (Tommy Lee Jones), whose experiment threatens the solar system.

What a man! And no... i'm not talking about the way he looks which, let's face it, is ethereal... but beyond that, this man is a joy to talk to. He puts people at ease, is kind, funny, self effacing and quite game. What do i mean? Wait for my interview on @unanghirit and @24oras to find out. We did something i have never dared do with any other interviewee before... EVER. And he did it with me 😚 can i just say WOOT WOOT!!!!! Oh and also, we talked about him joining the superhero bandwagon, his father's best advice, his favorite actor in a hero cape, what he would do with invisibility and why people should just keep on trying... #ILoveBradPitt His latest movie #AdAstra comes out in the Philippines September 20. Watch it! . . #BradPitt #AdAstra #Tokyo #japan #winner #SniffMe #SmellMe #AnoAngAmoyNiBrad

While conversing, the UH host got close (quite literally!) to the Hollywood star by asking him how he smelled after the interview.

And if you're wondering, too, let's just say that Lyn's face and hashtags say it all.

She writes, “The answer is.....VERY CLEAN. No perfume. He smells masculine and fresh. Wow.... just..... wow! Up close and personal indeed.

“So excuse me if I use the hashtags:

Eto na! My VERY close encounter with the one and only Brad Pitt.... It started with comments and texts i kept receiving before my interview with Brad asking about how he smelled. I had no answer and so i thought i'd take a chance and mention it to him AFTER the main 1on1 interview, hoping he'd be in the mood, hoping he would answer and hoping the camera would keep rolling. Lucky me the stars aligned and i got all i wanted. Best part is, Brad was the first to lean in! I would have been too uncomfortable to swoop in and just sniff him. He gave the permission i needed so there you go! Brad is so cool and I am clearly the WINNER ding ding ding 🔔 Now, to finally answer the question How does Brad smell. The answer is.....VERY CLEAN. No perfume. He smells masculine and fresh. Wow.... just..... wow! Up close and personal indeed. So excuse me if i use the hashtags: #AkoAngWagi #MayNanaloNa #Happiness #UpCloseAndPersonal #CloseEncounter #Fresh #Clean #Masculine #ILoveIt #Winner #NahimatayAfter #MayHimala #AngSayaSaya #BradPitt #AdAstra #Sweet #happy #lynchtravels2019 #lynchtravels #travel #trip #firstruleoffightclub #CanISniffYou #KontingKembotNaLangKissNa #akoNaNga #PagbigyanNyoNaPlease #WalangHuhusga #LiveAndLetLive #GoNaYanMother

She also got to ask Brad what was the most quoted line said to him.

He answered, “The most often quoted is either 'What's in the box?' or 'Don't condescend me, man.'”

These lines were in reference to his films Se7en (1995) and True Romance (1993), respectively.

The line from Fight Club “first rule of fight club....” is so often quoted that i thought it was the most used Brad Pitt line of all time. I bet you did too. Turns out, we're all wrong. Let the man himself tell you .... . . #bradpitt #adastra #redcarpet #quotes #fightclub #whatsinthebox #firstruleoffightclub #dontcondescendme #trueromance #seven #donttalkaboutfightclub
