The tables turned for veteran journalist Chris Van Vliet during a recent interview with How to Be Single stars Dakota Johnson and Leslie Mann. Rather than asking the questions, the Miami WSVN reporter found himself unbuttoning his shirt and getting hit on by two ofHollywood’s leading ladies.
“Are you single? You're handsome,” Leslie told the32-year-old. “You look like you workout.”
Dakota added, “You look like you pump iron.”

While the interview might have looked awkward forthe handsome journalist, Chris told HELLO! that is was not uncomfortable atall. “It was hilarious,” he said. “This is the best interview ever because itwas a lot of fun and completely unexpected.”
Little did Leslie and Dakota know that they werehitting on Cosmopolitan’s 2011 Bachelor of the Year. The bachelor, who donatedhis Cosmo cash winnings to the Boys and Girls Club ofCleveland, even tested pickup lines on the film’s stars.
Chris told the ladies, “Are youGoogle? Because you’re exactly what I’ve been searching for.” The This is 40 actress quickly shut him downsaying, “That’s terrible.” Dakota chimed in, “Don’t ever say that again.”

Too bad the actresses didn’t hear the real pickupline. Chris admitted that he actually flubbed his icebreaker. “I messed up the Google line!” the Toronto native revealed. “I actuallyresearched these before I went in. I was like let’s see if I can come up withthe cheesiest, corniest, worst pickup lines ever and see what kind of reactionI get.”
Despite the flirtatious interview, Chris is still currently single — hear that ladies? He said, “I’m still single and if anyone watchedthis video all the way through, I will probably remain single for a very longtime" — though something tells us this hunky journalist’srelationship status might change pretty soon.
How to Be Single opens in theaters Friday,February 12.
