Dad-of-four Michael, 47, is worth £65million and has sold 80million records — including five No1 albums in the UK and a string of hit singles including Everything, Home and Haven’t Met You Yet.
The ads are directed by Rita Ora's Oscar-winning hubby Taika Waititi.
Waititi, 48, who directed two Thor films, won an Oscar in 2020 for Jojo Rabbit. He wed Rita in August 2022.
