Los Angeles: E-commerce giant Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is all set to make a cameo in the upcoming sci-fi action film Star Trek Beyond.

The news came out when the film's director Justin Lin and producer JJ Abrams confirmed his small appearance during an interview, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The business tycoon, who is big fan of the franchise, will play the role of an alien in the movie.

"He 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," said Justin.

Praising Jeff for his acting skills, Justin said, "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." The film is set to hit the theaters on July 22.
