Idris Elba, Priyanka Chopra and John Cena talk new movie Heads of State | 9Honey
Thank you very much indeed Carl. Good morning once again. Well, today we hear from John Cena and Idris Ela who play the US president and the UK prime minister in a new action buddy comedy with Priyanka Chopra Jonas joining them as a buttkicking secret agent. David Campbell spoke to the stars of head of state.
Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. President, it’s our debut duet. Duet?
Yeah. It’s like I’m Dr. Dre and you’re Eminem and we’re taking that stage for the first time together. I’m Eminem. How much fun was happening on set of this film?
I It was fun. It was fun. And you know, action is tedious. Uh and just because it’s action comedy, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t beat you up. But uh we have a good group. Um I think we leaned into even the most frustrating times. And man, we we had a lot of I’d like to say we had a lot of fun. I think I speak for the group and say,
“Was it good to reunite with your Suicide Squad buddy over here, Adris?”
Definitely. Yeah, we we uh became friends after that movie and then coming back to this was just like, you know, fun. It’s been a lot of fun. It’s nice watching John work.
Hey fellas, how’s it going? Yeah, man. Read the room. You two in the back of that truck. And then there’s the sheep’s teeth in the president’s face. And
finally calling them the correct. He said nipple, but it’s a teeth. It’s a sheep’s teeth. We have to make sure that we all get
Don’t be such a sheep. Okay. The CGI sheep. How many sheep’s teeth are we doing? And please stop me saying this word.
I can’t. I like it every time. You’re coming correct. We say sheep nipples. You’re correcting. You’re correcting us. We were in a truck with livestock for a few days.
A few days.
Yeah. Uh and it was it wasn’t too bad. You know, it uh
Wait, are you I felt like you were into it after a while. This is not too bad. I’m okay with this.
I I wasn’t into it. He was not into it.
I noticed the prime minister did not have a sheep’s teeth in his face.
No thanks.
Just dignity. Always dignity.
Yeah. Uh it was one of those things where the joke was in the movie from version one of the script. I knew we were going to have to do it. The goal is just to make it as funny as you can.
My mission is to deliver you to the most secure location on this continent. [Music] Where’s your backup?
There is no backup. Is it appealing to do a film like this Prager and have more laughs in it to be able to do the action to work with these guys as well? I mean, it’s great chemistry between the three.
It was a no-brainer to do this movie. We were shooting in the most incredible locations. It was a hilarious laugh out laugh out loud script. I’d seen Suicide Squad, know their chemistry, knew they wanted to make this movie together. And then I got to do like really amazing stunts and laugh at all the jokes that these guys were making. So it was fun time for me.
Exact. And there was no sheep seats for you, which is
None at all.
Go to the pages. That’s not there. Call the agent. We’re safe.
I’ll I’ll handle all that work. How are you alive? I just kept calm and carried on.
I flown all this way from Australia to sort of see you guys. And I thought I love this film so much that I’m I’m just going to pitch it right now that we do Heads of State 2. It’s a G7. We’re in Sydney. We’re good to go. That’s a good idea.
Can I pitch Gold Coast though?
You want the Gold Coast? I’m with that for you.
I like the coffee in Melbourne.
Yeah.
Take Let’s make a big budget movie.
I think I think we have an agreement that we need to go to Australia.
We going to come down soon for uh the rest for Perth. We cannot wait.
Very very excited. That is uh towards the end of the farewell tour. How’s that been for you?
So far it’s going great and we are over halfway done. There’s 15 dates left. So I’m glad one is Perth. I think I didn’t think it would be complete without an Australia date in there and I’m glad we can go. You guys go see him wrestling.
Dolan can see me. That’s the deal.
My son’s going to die that you said that to me guys so very much. I appreciate it so much. Thank you. [Music] Not in the movies now, son. There you go. It is called Heads of State. You don’t have to leave the house to see it. It is now streaming on Prime Video.
Thank you, Dicky.
Thank you, Dicky. really.
