From singers to actors, big celebrities are cast in these big-budgeted advertisements.

From Terminator to Commando, Arnold Schwarzenegger has played a lot of thrilling roles in his career. But his role as a Zeus in the BMW advertisement stole the show.

He is tired as people around ask for some of his spark for their equipment, but the Greek God is missing a spark in his own life. The character tells Hera how he is done with the place. She responds with, “We’ll see about that,” and gets him a shiny new brand-new all-electric BMW iX. Thereon, they happily drive while singing Electric Avenue by Eddy Grant. At the end of the commercial, it showcases a BMW logo.
