3:29Now PlayingHollywood actor Brad Pitt got a unique opportunity to speak to a NASA astronaut on Monday, asking him anything from what life is like in space to what he thought of his upcoming film, the new space movie "Ad Astra"."Who was more believable?" Pitt asked. "Clooney or Pitt?" NASA astronaut Nick Hague answered Pitt - "absolutely" - getting a big laugh. Pitt's Hollywood pal George Clooney starred in the 2013 space film "Gravity". "How'd we do?" Pitt also asked Hague. "I've got to tell you, it was really good," Hague said. "And the depictions, the settings - all as you can tell - looked very similar to the type of setting, you know, I've got around me." The International Space Station crew previewed "Ad Astra" a few weeks ago. The movie opens on Friday. In it, Pitt portrays an astronaut who travels through the solar system to find his father. The film includes actual NASA shots of the moon and Mars. Hague praised the zero-gravity depictions. In his call, Pitt noted the movie's spaceship was "a bit cleaner" than the station, setting off a big laugh among all on the call. Pitt and Hague also discussed health and well-being while in space. Hague said his biggest take away from his 200 days on mission, outside of the idea that humans are small, is the importance of international cooperation to make space exploration possible. "International cooperation is so important," he said. "For me, that is the biggest thing that I've pulled from this mission - is that idea of cooperation at a global scale, is what's going to propel humanity into the future."
