Brad Pitt carries and feeds a sumo wrestler
by Dale North, 08/27/2009

You should know by now that Japan's SoftBank commercials take place in a world so far away from the reality of ours. People (and dogs) look the same, but they do extraordinary things.

In this particular set of commercials for the mobile phone provider, America's biggest movie star plays the role of a servant for Japan star sumo wrestler Musashimaru. His level loyalty and service to the wrestler are supposed to represent SoftBank's level of service to its customers. "Serving you in any way necessary," they say.

Watch on as Pitt goes above and beyond in service. Damn. He must have been working out lately.  Surely that's some CG action. After the jump, you'll see the couple at dinner. Cute. I wonder if the Japanese public appreciates how big of a star Pitt really is.
