\"It was the SAG Awards and I turned it on just to see if Mike Moh and his wife were there,\" May said. \"Monday morning I told Chase, 'I saw your dad on TV' and he said, 'My dad got a picture with Brad Pitt.'\"

\"This is definitely one we'll never forget,\" she added. \"We were so excited ... someone really, really famous touched our everyday, little third grade project.\"

While most of the children didn't know who Brad Pitt was, May said Chase was very impressed by the photo.

\"When his dad showed him the picture Chase said, 'I pretended to faint because I know how big of a movie star Brad Pitt is,'\" she said.

May said the project was presented to 100 third graders this year. There is no deadline, and by the end of the year all portraits are hung outside the classroom.

Last week, the school district posted the photo of Pitt with Chase's project on Facebook, where it's racked up hundreds of likes.

\"GMA\" reached out to Mike Moh via Twitter but the star has yet to comment.
