Tommy Lee Jones has taken on another unusual role in Japan, and this time, he’s entering the world of Pokémon as Pikachu. The official account of Suntory’s coffee brand BOSS shared a new image on November 15 featuring Space Alien Jones, the character played by Jones in the brand’s popular TV commercials, dressed up as the iconic Electric-type Pokémon.
In the BOSS commercials, Space Alien Jones is an extraterrestrial investigating life on Earth. His latest assignment, however, takes him somewhere a little different. According to the announcement, Jones is now investigating the world of Pokémon, with the results of his investigation scheduled to be revealed from November 16.
The image has already attracted plenty of reactions on X, with fans calling the sight of Jones dressed as Pikachu cute, bizarre, and wondering how the character ended up in this situation. Honestly, seeing Tommy Lee Jones take on the appearance of Pikachu is not something most people would have expected.
BOSS and Pokémon Collaboration Campaign Is Also Underway
The Pikachu image is part of a wider BOSS and Pokémon collaboration campaign currently running in Japan. As of November 15, customers can purchase selected BOSS products and enter a lottery for a chance to win Pokémon collaboration merchandise, QUO Cards, and other prizes.
More details about the campaign are available on the official BOSS brand website. Bookmark Otaku Mantra for more updates!
