Celebrities in foreign commercials makes for wackiness worth watching
Sometimes, maybe when they’re looking to pocket a quick $50k, celebrities step outside U.S. borders and into their crazy pants for a few foreign commercials. More often than not the gig is a simple stylish appearance with nice lighting shrouded in sophistication, but every once in a while the eyes pop and the tongue lets loose and a real gem of a commercial is created.
See the likes of Harrison Ford, Hugh Jackman, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tommy Lee Jones, Leonardo DiCaprio, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and a few more recognizable faces doing some side work after the jump!
These first two are pretty tame, and give us a taste of what most foreign celebrity commercials look like. Here’s George Clooney and Julia Roberts peddling a little coffee:
George Clooney for Nespresso
Julia Roberts for Lavazza
And here’s where things start to get a little strange:
Brad Pitt in a Wes Anderson directed SoftBank commercial
Harrison Ford downing a few Kirin Lager Beers
Sausages from Sylvester Stallone
Hugh Jackman doing a little dancing for Lipton Iced Tea
Cindy Crawford playing with a sword for Pocari Sweat
Michael J. Fox trimming some hedges like a madman
Leonardo DiCaprio for Orico Mastercard
Hulk Hogan singing a song for Hitachi
Snoop Dogg (AKA Snoop Lion AKA Roy Black) doing his thing for Vybe Mobile
These last two are longer for extended amazing happy fun times. The first video is a compilation of Tommy Lee Jones as a coffee-drinking alien, all equally awesome, and the second is Arnold Schwarzenegger in more crazy commercials than you can count. Watching both of them in their entirety will cost you about 18 minutes, but they’re oddly hypnotizing:
