Doc” from “BTTF” and the star of “Aquaman”… Hollywood actors appeared at Makuhari Messe and the event was a great success!

Why is “Doc” in a wheelchair? ……

It was a little after noon in early December when Hollywood actor Christopher Lloyd (86) was wheelchair-bound in the arrival lobby of Haneda Airport.

For three days from December 6, Makuhari Messe (Mihama-ku, Chiba City) hosted the Tokyo Comic Convention 2024 (“Tokyo Comic Con”), a festival of American comics, movies, and pop culture. Lloyd came to Japan to attend as a guest.

Lloyd became an internationally popular actor with his role as the scientist “Doc” in the 1985 film “Back to the Future,” in which he appeared in all three films. He continued to hit it big as the Addams in “The Addams Family” series and established himself as a comedic actor. This will be his fourth consecutive appearance in the event, which has been held since 2004,” said a film magazine editor.

Lloyd is 86 years old. One might think that Lloyd is in a wheelchair, but in fact, he is not.

He is still strong on his feet and legs,” said Lloyd. On the day of the flight, the staff of the airline company took care of Lloyd’s advanced age and prepared a wheelchair for him. I think he was just taking advantage of the opportunity to ride in the wheelchair.

Lloyd, who was placed in a wheelchair, seemed to be talking on the phone to someone with a cup of “Oi Ocha” on his lap. At the Comic-Con venue, he seemed to be walking, very firmly indeed.

Big! Hawaiian Giant Momoa

Among the 11 famous Hollywood actors attending this year’s Tokyo Comic-Con, including Jude Law (51) and Mads Mikkelsen (59), was the “Giant of Hawaii,” Jason Momoa (45).

Four hours after Lloyd’s arrival at Haneda, Momoa appeared in a tight-fitting white T-shirt with a muscular upper body.

Momoa, who is of Native Hawaiian descent, stands 6 feet tall. He was active as a model with his muscular body and wild appearance full of wild beauty. He made his acting debut in the popular drama series “Baywatch. His roles as Karl Drogo in the TV series “Game of Thrones” and as Arthur Curry/Aquaman in the ’17 film “Justice League” made him a world-class actor,” said the editor.

When Momoa appeared in the lobby, fans waiting for him shouted, “Momoa big! (said the editor above). He was also asked for autographs and photos by female fans and male fans holding Aquaman’s picture in their hands.

The three-day event was a lot of fun, with Hollywood actors and fans interacting directly with each other. What kind of Hollywood celebrities will appear at next year’s event?
