12 Celebrities Who Let Their Freak Flags Fly On Bizarre Overseas Projects

It’s a big world with a whole lot more people than the American population alone. This is something that the managers and agents of America’s biggest celebrities know all too well. You can hear that phone call now. “Hey, Snoop Dogg. It’s me, your agent. There’s this German prepaid mobile company that needs you to pop out of a fridge singing in German. You in?” Spoiler alert: Snoop was in. And it’s just an all-around strange ad. Can you blame him though? He’s not just for American eyes and ears. Germans love Snoop, and probably topped up those mobile minutes because of him.

We all got a chuckle out of Joey Tribbiani’s Japanese commercial “Ichiban: Lipstick For Men.” But his quote, “Now remember, I got paid a lot of money for this, and it only aired in Japan,” says it all. If an actor gets flown out to far off lands for a big pay day, who cares if it’s an odd, embarrassing piece of footage? No one in America is going to see it, right? Well, come to think of it, Joey’s comment was uttered in a pre-YouTube world. Luckily for us, we now get to see these 12 celebrities in their very odd overseas projects.
