Actor Yoshizawa Ryo fired from Asahi beer ad after alcohol escapade

Japanese actor Yoshizawa Ryo, known for his handsome looks and a recent commercial for Asahi Breweries' low-alcohol beer, has been fired by the company after a drunken incident. On the 30th of December, an intoxicated Yoshizawa mistakenly entered his neighbour's apartment. His agency, Amuse, confirmed the incident, stating he likely entered due to an urgent human need. Asahi Breweries deemed his actions unacceptable and terminated their contract with the actor.

Yoshizawa apologized to his surprised neighbour for the "major trouble he caused," Amuse said, adding that the actor already vacated the apartment. Yoshizawa has roughly 80 screen credits, according to IMDB. Last year, the actor starred as a young man with deaf parents in the drama "Living in Two Worlds," the Japan Times reported. According to his Instagram page, his new movie "National Treasure" will open on 6 June 2025.
