    In Japan, Brad Pitt Is But a Sumo's Butler

    Celebrities often cash in on commercials overseas, and Brad Pitt, a speechless spokesperson for cellphone company Softbank, is no exception.

    In America, Brad Pitt's cool enough to dump gorgeous stars like Jennifer Aniston and walk away to a small pile of babies. In Japan, he's just sumo champion Musashimaru's butler.

    But we must admit, Pitt does a pretty good job as a butler. If the whole movie star thing doesn't work out, we could use someone to hold our cellphone while cradling us tenderly. [via MobileCrunch]
