Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos has been able "to live out every Trekkie's fantasy by playing an alien in the new Star Trek movie," according to the Associated Press. Producer J.J. Abrams and director Justin Lin confirmed his appearance in Star Trek Beyond, which opens Friday.
Lin told the AP that Bezos "was awesome. It was like a president was visiting, you know? He had a big entourage! But it didn't matter because he was so into it. He had to wait around all day because it was one day we were shooting like three different scenes and, it was also credit to Jeff because... he just nailed it every time."
Chris Pine, who stars as Capt. James T. Kirk, said, "I was there for the bit with his like nine bodyguards and three limos. It was really intense. I had no idea who he was. Not a clue. But he was obviously very important."
What kind of alien Bezos plays was not disclosed. We're betting he's a Ferengi.
