Speaking candidly to Daily Mail Australia, Sonia didn’t hold back from gushing over ‘Mr. Ocean’s Eleven’ himself – Brad Pitt. Pictured together at the Academy Awards in 2020
I think he’s got a soft spot for Australia, too. And so, I’ve been lucky enough to chat to him a few times. And he’s just always been so warm and complimentary about Australia,’ she shared.
Sonia suggested that Pitt’s fondness for Australia might go deeper than Vegemite and kangaroos.
She mentioned the actor’s loves of the Aussie laid-back lifestyle and his wistfulness when discussing his time spent in the country.

‘You know I can’t speak for him but… There’s just something about him,’ she added.

Back in 2020, Sonia made headlines when she palmed off Access Hollywood reporter Mario Lopez to interview Pitt.
In footage from the red carpet, Sonia can be heard saying ‘Back off, Mario!’ as he attempts to move in on her interview.
Reflecting on the encounter, she said afterwards: ‘Did you see [Mario] trying to get in on my interview? And I’m like, “Get your mitts off my Pitt!”‘
The incident made Sunrise hosts David Koch and Sam Armytage burst into laughter.
