“Alien Guy Trevor” Becomes an Unexpected Part of the “Bugonia” Press Tour Conversation, Hollywood’s Most Talked-About New Film
Los Angeles, CA — Nov. 20, 2025 — What began as a lighthearted moment on the “Bugonia” press circuit has taken on a life of its own. Trevor Doyle Nelson — known online as Alien Guy Trevor, an independent UFO researcher, actor, and filmmaker — has suddenly found himself part of the cultural chatter surrounding Yorgos Lanthimos’ new film “Bugonia” (Universal Pictures / Focus Features).
During several promotional interviews, Oscar®-nominee Jesse Plemons, Oscar®-winner Emma Stone, and director Yorgos Lanthimos mentioned Trevor in a humorous and affectionate context while discussing Plemons’ preparation. The comments highlighted Plemons’ personal curiosity about UFO lore and online subcultures as he immersed himself in the world of the film.
In a BAFTA interview, the trio the trio shared an extended conversation about Jesse’s mysterious “alien-obsessed friend,” with Lanthimos and Stone laughing that they “want to watch Trevor watch the movie.” The clip — which has racked up thousands of views — sparked a wave of viral posts across YouTube, X, TikTok, and major entertainment outlets.

Trevor’s agent, Shawn West, a Talent Agent at The Wayne Agency, said:
“I wanted to share this fun story lighting up BAFTA and Focus Features’ socials — three major stars name-dropped Alien Guy Trevor, a real-life UFO researcher whose enthusiasm for the subject made him a helpful reference point for his childhood friend Jesse, in preparation and research for the role of Teddy in Bugonia.”
Even renowned UFO expert Nick Pope has chimed in. Pope, who formerly investigated unexplained aerial phenomena for the UK Ministry of Defence and appears on Ancient Aliens and The UnXplained with William Shatner, noted the crossover between Trevor’s real-world passion and the film’s themes:
“Jesse Plemons’ performance in Bugonia is powerful. The fact that he sought out information, history, and UFO theory from Trevor, a researcher, simply speaks to his dedication to authenticity.”
Nick Pope is also a Founding Member of the Hollywood Disclosure Alliance, a non-profit group founded in 2023, which seeks to creatively unite Hollywood film makers with UFO/UAP and E.T. investigators in an effort to provide a more unified voice in media leading up to the impending revelation of the presence of alien life on Earth.
For Trevor, the attention is both surreal and hilarious.
“I’ve always wanted to sit down with Jesse and unload everything I know about UAPs and ETs,” Trevor says. “I want to do that with all my friends, but usually I hold back. So when Jesse called and said, ‘Tell me everything you know about aliens,’ I said, ‘Jesse… I’ve been waiting for you to ask me that for years.’ We laughed — then I just shared theories, history, and some of my own experiences. I had no clue it would turn into a viral moment on the press tour.”
With major entertainment outlets now amplifying the story, Alien Guy Trevor has quickly become a fan-favorite figure in the film’s off screen mythology — adding a touch of real-world UFO enthusiasm to the ongoing online conversation. As “Bugonia” continues to build awards-season buzz, Trevor has become an unexpected (and wildly amused) footnote in the movie’s cultural orbit — a real-life believer whose cosmic curiosity is giving fans one more thing to talk about as they dissect one of Hollywood’s most imaginative explorations of UFO's and aliens.
