Brad Pitt takes picture of sunbathing topless woman in Japanese Softbank cellphone ad for its winter 2008 collection.
Brad Pitt appears in Japanese Softbank Mobile's commercial for its winter 2008 collection. In the 30-second-commercial, which airs in television in Japan, the Golden Globe nominee actor speaks no word but shows up lots of action. He is seen bargaining with sellers in the market, helping a group of people to remove a stalled car, almost getting run over by a group of bicyclists and taking a picture of a sunbathing topless woman.
The commercial, which is Pitt's fourth commercial for the company, is actually the remake of 1953 French movie, entitled "Les Vacances de Monseieur Hulot". Furthermore, this ad was taken in Normandy on September 20.
A source in the set tells Us Weekly about Brad Pitt during the shooting, saying "There were lots of children on the set, and Brad was very friendly to all of them." The source also adds, "Some of the children had complicated French names. He turned to them and said, 'What is your name?' in the most perfect French. He's obviously been studying hard."
Beside learning French, Pitt also learns Japanese since the cellphone is a Japanese product. The source reveals, "Brad also used a few Japanese words to the Softbank execs, too. He's becoming a master of many languages." Because of that, Softbank spokesperson, named Naoki Nakayama, admits to the publication that the company loves to use Pitt as the model, revealing "It is a pleasure to have him as part of the Softbank company, and we look forward to premiering the new commercial, along with our new season of phones, this winter."
