I found out years ago that Big stars like to do adverts in far eastern countries because they will not be seen doing so by their main fan base.  
This seems to be happening in the UK now, there is an advert for virgin mobile where Christina Aguilera enjoys bouncing on an office chair. Some guys see her but the chair is hidden by a desk so it looks like she’s having sex.

Have other big American stars done UK-only ads?
