Bolaji Baddejo was the Alien in suit.

The man inside the suit in the ALIEN movie was a Nigerian,BOLAJI BADEJO

Bolaji Badejo was born in Nigeria in 1953. His height is/was 7’2” (2.18 meters) and had his big break by playing the creature in the movie ‘Alien’ by Ridley Scott.

His role as the title character in Alien was practically tailor-made to suit him. Badejo was a young African student when he was picked up from a bar by Ridley Scott. He was as big as Scott wanted the alien to be: At least two meters (6ft 7 in) tall.

In fact, he stood at well over 7ft. It was Scott’s intention to create a monster that looked as if no human could be behind the mask. It was to be long and angular, with an impossible frame that only a few men would be able to fill. Badejo filled the role perfectly.

However, Badejo disappeared shortly after filming the movie, and fans have not seen him since then. There is no one that has been able to confirm if he is still alive or dead.
