1 / 22

Celebrity endorsements are big overseas — just ask Angelina, Anne, Jennifer, or any of the other famous people who've appeared in beauty ads in Japan and Korea. For a day or two of work, these stars can earn more than $2 million by endorsing lipstick, mascara, or shampoo. Read on to see who's raking in the bucks (and who's hoping you won't have to see her practice her swordsmanship).

haha lux must have a ton of money to have so many famous faces repping its name! and i agree, overseas lux is much better then lux here.

that's one of the best things about the commercial awards shows or whatever they are - that you can see celebs in ads that you wouldn't ever see here in the US. i think that a lot of the time, people realize that they can make money overseas doing things that maybe they wouldn't live down here, and they go for it in the hopes that no one here ever sees it. oh well...

I remember those! Oh, Ewan. The Brad Pitt "Edwin" denim campaign is my personal favorite. They're hilarious (and meant to be).

I love these! Ewan McGregor did a bunch of spots for a Japanese coffee drink a few years back. Hilarious and cute (but I'm biased since I love him, they're probably horribly cheesy too!)
