It's not just Angelina Jolie that's been risking life and limb for our viewing pleasure - here are the hilarious snaps of Brad Pitt lifting a larger-than-life sumo wrestler while filming a new Japanese ad.

The Fight Club star was spotted playing servant to this heavy-looking chap in a building in New York for a commercial for Japanese mobile phone company Softbank.

And during filming, Brad's tasks included holding up an umbrella to prevent the wrestler from getting wet, suggesting he could be acting as a bodyguard in the advert.
