Michael V. shares what Robert Downey Jr. told him during their close encounter in Singapore

Kapuso comedy genius Michael V. was one of the lucky ones to have had a close encounter with "Iron Man" star Robert Downey Jr. at the "Avengers: Infinity War" press preview in Singapore. Recently, he shared that moment to his followers.

On his Instagram account, Bitoy shared a clip of his most treasured moment at the press preview — getting a hug from Robert! — after which the star told Bitoy, "A hug for your wife, yup give this one to her."

Being the funny man that he is, he slowed down the said moment and put Whitney Houston's song "And I Will Always Love You" as the background music.

Meanwhile on his vlog, he narrated the whole story of how he earned the chance to interact with Robert, which turned out to be a surprise.

He said on the third day of the press preview, the staff selected one representative from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia,Thailand and the Philippines. Each were interviewed by the staff to know their knowledge about Avengers.

After the interview, the staff told them they had to test an Avengers virtual reality game in another room, and while they were all enjoying the VR, something went wrong with their VR goggles. Then a text on the screen appeared.

"This is Tony Stark something seems to be wrong with your VR, please take your goggles off."

Bitoy excitingly narrated what happened next, "'Pag tanggal ko ng VR headset nandoon na sa harap namin naka-tayo si Robert Downey Jr., hindi virtual, reality talaga."

He said he couldn't help but gush over the surprise moment  to the point that he wasn't sure what he was telling Robert.

"Lahat kami hindi makapaniwala, lahat kami napanganga, ako nastarstruck, medyo nataranta ako di ko na alam mga pinagsasabi ko bigla kong  i-kwinento 'yong tungkol sa sketch na ginawa ko parang feeling ko guest siya sa show ko, kaya nung hiniritan niya ako na o sige tigil na natin 'to kunin ko sketch mo, hihintayin ka namin, doon ako medyo napahiya sa sarili ko."

"Tony Stark na Tony Stark ang pagkasarcastic niya, imbis na mapahiya ako naging proud pa ako na hiniritan niya ako ng ganon, parang nasa eksena lang kami ng isang pelikula."
