There were reports earlier this month of a new set of commercial for the Japanese mobile phone company giant SoftBank starring none other than Brad Pitt and former Yokozuna sumo wrestler Musashimaru Koyo, and directed by Spike Jonze (director of the 2009 Where the Wild Things Are).

Brad Pitt SoftBank Commerical #1

The first commercial features Brad Pitt as a personal assistant for Musashimaru. Watch and see what Pitt does when the massive Musashimaru breaks one of his sandals while the two are walking around. The Japanese at the end says, “If you use a cell phone, use a light one.”

The second commercial again features Brad Pitt as Musashimaru personal assistant, this time at a restaurant. Watch and see what Pitt does when Musashimaru does not like the food that is being served. The Japanese at the end says, “Stop disliking food without even trying it first. Cell phones too.”
