Please post some interesting commercials and advertisements starring American movie stars but made for other countries

Many US movie stars don't like to do advertising in the states, but don't mind making a few commercials on other markets.

A good example of this is Tommy Lee Jones. He is a mega-star in Japan selling BOSS brand canned coffee.

Japan is full of examples, but a few from other countries would be interesting to see too.

Arnold Schwarzenegger did a commercial in Japan for something called Yosh. Though he's not american, he's technically an american movie star.

Here's another video link for a George Clooney commercial about Emidio Tucci.. which is a spanish clothing brand he is modeling in it.

Nice job! Arnold's product is not actually Yosh.
Yosh is a Japanese expression something like "Yeah!".

In Japan, for years people have been buying these tiny bottles of "energy" drinks. They cost a fortune and don't have much appeal to me, but everyone and their brother advertises them. The big seller these days is Ichiro
