“The Alien monster Giger said, was never intended to be a repulsive creature, but instead a fusion of beauty and distinctiveness - but at the same time deadly and scary.” “The late Bolaji Badejo lurking around set as the titular ALIEN. It was terribly hot, especially the head. I could only have it on for about fifteen or twenty minutes at a time. When I took it off, my head would be soaked.“ “Bolaji Badejo a 6'10 Nigerian man was minding his business in a pub when he was approached by an agent asking him to star in Alien as the Xenomorph He accepted the role The movie Alien is now a cult classic.“
