Los Angeles:
Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt had to step away from the spotlight for a sumo wrestler as he plays a lackey to the Japanese giant in a new commercial.
The 'Curious Case of Benjamin Button' star recently shot for a new ad for a Japanese cell phone company Softbank.
In one scene, Pitt is shown holding an umbrella to the Sumo wrestler as he steps out of the car while in another one he is shown lifting the wrestler up, Us magazine reported.
However, the scene was made only possible with the help of four cables, which were attached to the body of the wrestler. The commercial has been directed by Oscar nominated producer Spike Jonze.
This is Pitt's fifth commercial for the company. In a 30-second ad last year, the actor helped a group of people in a stalled car and nearly got run over by a crowd of bicyclists when he tried to snap a photo of a topless sunbather.
