Dr. Anthony Fauci is giving Brad Pitt's "Saturday Night Live" impression of him two thumbs up.

During an appearance Monday on Telemundo's "Un Nuevo Dia," the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases reviewed the actor's performance.

"I think he did great,” Fauci said. “I'm a great fan of Brad Pitt, and that's the reason why when people ask me who I would like to play me I mention Brad Pitt. He's one of my favorite actors. I think he did a great job."

He added that he also appreciated what Pitt added to the end of the skit.

"I think he showed that he is really a classy guy when at the end he took off his hair and thanked me and all of the health care workers,” he said. “So, not only is he a really great actor but he is actually a classy person.”

Fauci got the "SNL" treatment on Saturday with Pitt, a newly-minted Oscar winner donning a gray wig and glasses to portray the bespectacled infectious disease specialist.

"First, I'd like to thank all the older women in America who have sent me inspiring — and sometimes graphic — emails," Pitt began in the show's cold open segment. "Now, there's been a lot of disinformation out there about the virus, and yes, the president has taken some liberties with our guidelines. So tonight, I'd like to explain what the president was trying to say."

Pitt later removed his glasses and wig to address "the real Dr. Fauci": "Thank you for your calm and your clarity in this unnerving time. And thank you to the medical workers, first responders and their families for being on the front line. And now, live — kinda — from all across America, it's Saturday Night."

"Saturday Night Live" ended its five-week COVID-19 hiatus on April 11, when it aired its first remote episode. That one began with an introduction by Tom Hanks, who became "the celebrity canary in the coal mine for coronavirus" when he went public with his diagnosis exactly one month earlier.
