'Ocean's' Co-Stars Team Up For Myanmar Ad Campaign

(andPOP) - Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Matt Damon have joined up for another project, but it's not "Ocean's 14."

The trio lent their star power to an advertising campaign aimed at boosting aid for Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), which was devastated by a cyclone last month.

The campaign is sponsored by the U.S.-based activist group "Not On Our Watch," which is headed up by Pitt, Clooney and Damon alongside fellow actor Don Cheadle, producer Jerry Weintraub and human rights lawyer David Pressman.

The full-page ad, which the group took out in Indonesian English language daily "The Jakarta Post" Wednesday, urges neighbouring countries to push Myanmar's junta to allow more foreign aid into the country, which the reclusive regime has been reluctant to accept.

"Burma's neighbours have the power to help victims who remain desperately in need," says the advertisement, which is signed by Asian political figures and Nobel laureates.

According to the junta, the cyclone on May 2 and 3 left around 138,000 people missing or dead, and the UN estimates that 2.4 million people are still in need of aid.
