It's difficult not to be allured by the charm of British documentary maker Louis Theroux.

He's in Australia for a speaking tour, but in the past few days he's been incognito in the city of Perth.

Seems like Theroux couldn't stay undercover for long though, being approached by an ABC News intern journalist Stephanie Garnaut on Wednesday afternoon. But he promptly flipped the mike on her anyway.

Garnaut was trying to interview people about their thoughts on the recent national census, when the adorable Brit decided to put together an interview of his own, asking the budding journalist about himself.

"Can you tell me any documentaries that I've done?" Theroux asked, before Garnaut waxed lyrical about his non-judgemental attitude in the film A Place For Pedophiles.

"That's what we like to hear -- how incredible the man is," he joked. "It's nice to hear that, thank you for that feedback."

We daresay such ease-of-interviewing doesn't always come in his line of work.
