The advertisement features comical elements, such as him being taught how to pronounce “perfetto” by Italian actor Riccardo Scamarco, who narrated the piece.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Pitt said: “Taika bought the humour, De\u2019Longhi brought the ritual. Together, that was perfetto.”<\/p>\n

In an interview with People, Waititi said he enjoyed working with Pitt on the ad.<\/p>\n
