Anthony Fauci wants Brad Pitt to play him on SNL

Anthony Fauci, who serves on the White House coronavirus task force, has turned out to be a Brad Pitt fan and wants the "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" star to play him on "Saturday Night Live".

The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases was on CNN's "News Day" when host Alishn Camerota said SNL is returning this weekend after a break due to the coronavirus outbreak.

"What do you think the chances are that somebody will portray you", the host asked jokingly.

"I have no idea. I hope not," Fauci said.

Camerota then insisted that he choose between Ben Stiller and Brad.

"Oh Brad Pitt," Fauci said jokingly.
