On day two of his shoot for Japanese cell phone company Softbank, Brad Pitt was seen carrying a sumo wrestler! Now there’s an unexpected twist if I’ve ever seen one. The Softbank commercials are always so quirky, I am dying to see what this one looks like when it’s all done!
The second day of shooting took place in the Midtown area of New York City once again. With the assistance of some special wires, Brad lifts the sumo wrestler up, helping him out in some way.
Considering the first shoot showed that Brad was holding an umbrella over the wrestler’s head, I wonder if he ends up carrying him over a puddle to prevent wet feet!
In the previous post, reader Vanilla commented to let me know that the sumo wrestler is Yokozuna Musashimaru a Grand Champion who hails from Hawaii.
There are many more photos of Brad Pitt shooting his second day for Softbank below the cut!

Jackie, source of story is “Artist & Celeb”. Don’t know much about them. Don’t know if true or not but at least it is something more positive then what has been on the net lately. Don’t agree with last comment about “who calls the shots”. There is nothing wrong with your companion getting food for you, my hubby does the same thing.
Hilarious! He’s such a comic. I think that’s one of the reasons Angie loves this man – his sense of humor. I just remember the MMS outtakes where she can’t stop laughing because of him! Him carrying the sumo wrestler will be a sight to see! Everytime I look at him, I think of the sexy Robert Redford. They have the same charismatic factor. Interesting that Megan Fox is afraid of Angie. Weird way of thinking. She must feel so insecure that she thinks Angie is “powerful!” and someone to be frightened of. Who knows ;)

SARAH HARDING: I’ll be the next Jolie
By ANDREI HARMSWORTH – Thursday, April 30, 2009
Girls Aloud’s Sarah Harding wants to continue her foray into acting – and become a Hollywood action star like Angelina Jolie.
The blonde bombshell, best known for her sultry voice and sexy dance moves with her girl group, has recently taken on several screen roles.
‘I like Angelina Jolie characters, where she plays like the action lady,’ the 27-year-old said. ‘I love cars, I’m bit of a tomboy, so I could definitely see myself doing something like that.’
…..But he might like to know Harding doesn’t only have her sights on Jolie’s career – she fancies her boyfriend, too. She told Manchester’s Key 103 radio station: ‘I’ve still got a bit of a thing for Brad Pitt.’

I’m terrified of Angelina Jolie, admits Transformers star Megan Fox
May 1 2009 By Rick Fulton
TRANSFORMRS beauty MEGAN FOX is being called the new Angelina Jolie, but the young actress admits she is terrified of her older rival.
The stunning 22-year-old former model became a female action hero in the 2007 film Transformers, while Mrs Brad Pitt became a star as Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider movies.
The pair share exotic, sultry looks and the comparisons are inevitable.
But Tennessee-born Megan is a bit scared of Angelina and says she doesn’t want to meet her.
“I’m actually frightened of her,” she said. “I haven’t had the opportunity to meet her and I try to avoid that because I’m afraid.
“She’s a powerful person and I bet she would eat me alive. I guess that is why I’m afraid of her.
“There have been a lot of films I’ve had to pass on because I don’t want people thinking I’m trying to emulate her.”
However, it seems although she is frightened of Angelina, Megan can’t stop doing one thing that Angelina also likes to do a lot of – get tattoos.

Picking up little work himself as he stays in New York City while partner Angelina Jolie works on her new film “Salt,” Brad Pitt was spotted out filming in Manhattan on Tuesday night (April 28).
Making plenty of sad faces for the cameras, the “Fight Club” stud was hard at work on a Japanese television commercial for Softbank alongside a sumo wrestler.
Aside from working on the commercial, Brad has reportedly been doting on his lady while she spends long days on-set.
“Brad has been coming to the set a lot and spending time with Angelina when she is not shooting,” an insider tells. “He has been making a real effort to see her and in her down time he’s been running round getting her drinks and snacks.”
“He’s even been bringing her lunch. She doesn’t have to lift a finger when he is here. He has been the epitome of a doting husband. But by the look on her face you can tell who is calling the shots.”
Brad Pitt looks so handsom WOW, What a good looking man, Its about time we see him with out jeans and scruffy hair and scruffy beard. He is Lovely. lol
I hope, he keeps that clean shaven look when he & Angie attend Cannes for IB in May.
Hello to all the fans & Thank you Sherry for the nice pictures of Brad.God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.
Brad is so good looking without those facial hair.He looks more like Shi in these pictures. This commercial will be hilarious just like the one he did in France. God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.
I really want to see this commercial.
i love the fact that Brad films his ad close to his family like this one, they’re in NY and the last one which was in France where they were staying before. i am hoping that he’ll be maintaining that clean shaven look till Cannes. he is just gorgeous.
Great photos.
This part looks even funnier and he is just as gorgeous. It is great that he gets to work with A-list directors (Spike Jonze here) even when filming commercials and that the company films wherever he is and apparently at his convinience. Some are done when Angelina is working (India, Prague, now NYC) and he is free. Cool.
Thanks for the correction Vanilla, I just copied and pasted from your previous comment and have no idea how it’s actually spelled since I’m not familiar with him!
Spelling correction please, it is Yokozuna which means Grand Champion in sumo. Yokozuna Musashimaru was popular and retired a few years back but sometimes appears as guest on TV shows in Japan.
