One has to wonder if Will Smith is going to try & fill out like Asashoryu so he can play some part???????? Movie people are crazy for sure!!!!

Charlize Theron is a luck woman because she is between two handsome and succesful men. Wish to be in her place :)

Charlize Theron is African born While Will Smith is American born. what an interesting world......

I bet Asashoryu wants to teach Charlize Theron some Sumo moves :p

Why is Asashoryu there?

Smith and charliz are both aggresive, open, smart and fun loving top quality people. Its not about the type, Asashoryu wont even match these charactersitcs. May be thats the reason she is not sharing her second arm with him.

Somebody seems like needing a bit of public appearances (trying to brush up image?), else I only can agree with the former posters asking what the frog he is doing there.

Nidu, why would you say that Asashyoryu is not aggresive, smart, fun loving top quality man? What do you know about Asashyoryu? I know him quite well and he is all these. Outstanding man he is!

Thats the reason every japanese say to a foreigner with a grim face Hageshii desu ne. You got to be Hageshii from inside not outside.

Professor:

" Charlize Theron is African born While Will Smith is American born. what an interesting world...... "

Oh boy, the PC crowd will have to gnaw on that one. Will is African-American, and she is... umm, what? European-African? African-European-American? I give up...

I think (I could be wrong) but European-African=Afrikaan, stemming from a language the dutch colonists created in South Africa.

Asashoryu shouldn't be partaking in these events now that he has lost his complete dominance. Remember what happened to Balboa in Rocky III? Clubber Lang demolished Rocky after he did the same type of promos! "Asashoryu, you have to get the eye of the tiger back"

I know him quite well and he is all these. Outstanding man he is! ExPrinceska, Other characteristics that dont match with Asashoryu are Very talktive, straight-forward, ki o tsukawanai, interesting. If u still feel he has got everything common well i cant say anything other than that, he is wearing socks with pointed sleepers unlike Smith and Charliz :)

they should have hoovered the carpet

Asashoryu is thinking, "I sure hope I don't have to watch their thoroughly dreadful movie. If forced to, I will again fake injury and flee to Mongolia."

Honestly it was better than the last piece I saw from Hollywood. Keep this one away from young sensitive children. Maybe one of the best adolescent (not Will) super hero flicks I have seen.
