It was an early morning with Star Wars star Joonas Suotamo. The Finnish-born Actor who has taken over the iconic role of Chewbacca in the Skywalker Saga, is in town to promote the latest Film in the Franchise, The Rise of Skywalker!
While the weather was awful, but this former Basketball player certainly wasn’t! I think he is the tallest star I’ve ever met at 6 ft. 11 1⁄2 inches!
We spotted him out along his Press Tour for the Film which sees him doing several television appearances including Breakfast Television and The Morning Show!
