Golden Globe nominee Brad Pitt stars in a cheeky new Japanese television commercial for Softbank Mobile's winter 2008 collection.

In the 30-second spot, directed by Wes Anderson, Pitt has no speaking lines but has plenty of action.

He helps a group of people in a stalled car, nearly gets run over by a crowd of bicyclists and snaps a photo of a topless sunbather.

See what else Brad and Angelina were up to this year.

It is a remake of the 1953 French film, Les Vacances de Monseieur Hulot.

Pitt shot the commercial -- his fourth for the company -- in Normandy on Sept. 20.

"There were lots of children on the set, and Brad was very friendly to all of them," a set source tells Usmagazine.com. "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."

Take a look at Brad Pitt through the ages.

Adds the source: "Brad also used a few Japanese words to the Softbank execs, too. He's becoming a master of many languages."

Softbank spokesperson Naoki Nakayama tells Us: "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."
