Movie Stars Still in TV Ads

Movie Stars Still in TV Ads



Hollywood actors used to try to keep their Japan TV advertising adventures secret. But the internet changed that starting around 1995. I remember some early sites here posting video clips of ads broadcast in Japan - Steven Seagal for an energy drink, Arnold for various products. Nowadays you can find all the old and new ads by the movie stars on YouTube and other video websites.

Recently, Tommy Lee Jones has made a series of more than 10 commercials in Japan for Suntory Boss canned coffee. His role is of a space alien who doesn't understand everyday life in Japan. WATCH VIDEO

    It's so funny that Scarlett Johansson was in an ad for Japanese TV, considering that was an important part of the plot in Lost in Translation. I'll have to check it out! : )

    Tommy Lee Jones series is very funny...I wonder...does he come visit Japan to shoot this so often?! Never seen him elsewhere...maybe he's really from the universe...
