Leonardo DiCaprio might be one of Hollywood's highest paid actors — actually the highest paid actor in 2011— but that doesn't stop the Oscar-nominated star from jumping in a plane to Asia to film silly ads for large paychecks.

Even though it won't be released in America, the Internet got a hold of DiCaprio's new ad for Jim Beam. After he molds ice into a ball and then crumbles it through telekinesis, DiCaprio says "Cool bourbon" over a video game-like soundtrack.

Usually stars like to keep these spots out of the public eye — DiCaprio even filed a cease and desist order against Japander.com to take down an Asian ad he starred in — but you can watch DiCaprio's spot below:

James Brown Love Some Miso Soup-ah

This vintage ad shows the one, the only James Brown singing about Cup of Noodles... to the tune of "Sex Machine"... in Japanese.

Good Gawd!

Check out the video below to see a sparkly, blue suit wearing Brown cha-cha around some good old fashion ramen.

Watch the ad below:



Hulk Hogan Singing... With A Baby... And An Air Conditioner?

Wow. Hulk Hogan was singing about the days of the week decades before Rebecca Black made it cool.

This ad from the early 1990s is comprised of Hogan reciting the days of the week, followed by a close up of a baby, followed by a close up on an air conditioner. 

Whatever Hitachi paid the wrestler to do this ad, it couldn't have been enough.

Watch the ad below:



Thai Tina Turner, Michael Jackson And More

This ad features Thai versions of Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, Madonna, and Michael Jackson. Want to know what they're crooning about?

According to Vintage Asian, which has a hilarious collection of retro ads from Asia, the impersonators are promoting an apartment building located at the northern outskirts of Bangkok.

Apparently, Flat Pla Tong -- translating to Goldfish Flats -- has great public bus access and only requires a small down payment! Huzzah! (Watch the ad below):
