Leslie Mann and Dakota Johnson turned the tables on Hollywood press junkets by shamelessly flirting with a male reporter in an interview supposed to be about promoting their new film.

During a junket for their new film How To Be Single, Mann began jokingly commenting on how attractive Chris Van Vliet from Florida’s WSVN station was before he could even ask a question.

“How cute your socks are,” Mann, who is married to film producer Judd Apatow, said before jumping to: “Are you single? You’re handsome.”

Other highlights from the three-minute segment include the pair trying to set him up with their behind-the-scenes crew and asking if he works out.

Mann and Johnson continued to encourage him into undoing his top buttons before struggling to contain their laughter as Mr Van Vliet enthusiastically complied, exclaiming: “This is amazing!”

The interview, which seemed to mock the objectification women usually receive, was labelled “hilarious” by fans.​
