Bitoy is in Japan right now to attend the press junket of 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.'

A few more days left and the much-awaited film of the Star Wars saga, "The Rise of Skywalker," will be shown in cinemas very soon.

Because of this, the cast, namely, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, together with their director J.J. Abrams are currently in full-force for its promotion and even flew to Tokyo, Japan to meet with a few members of the press in all of Asia.

This includes multi-awarded comedian and content creator Michael V.

As an avid fan of the series, the Kapuso comedian is in Tokyo to meet and ask its stars and director all about the latest film.

He even got to "poke" J.J. Abrams himself after their one-on-one conversation for his YouTube channel.

On Instagram, Bitoy wrote, "Me poking JJ Abrams at the press junket of 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.'"

This isn't the first time the actor was invited to a Hollywood press event.

Back in April 2018, Bitoy was invited to fly all the way to Singapore for the press junket of the Marvel epic film "Avengers: Infinity War" where he got to interview Robert Downey Jr., Benedict Cumberbatch, and Karen Gillian.
