The ASA reviewed the matter but rejected the complaints, concluding the advertisement didn&#8217;t violate any regulations.  Although recognizing Johnson&#8217;s history in family-oriented movies, the ASA determined his association with children&#8217;s entertainment wasn&#8217;t significant enough to be deemed excessively attractive to those below 18, particularly as those parts were a while back.  Consequently, the advertisement was considered to be in line with advertising guidelines. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United Kingdom&#8217;s advertising regulatory body, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), reviewed a BetMGM advertisement featuring actor Chris Rock.
