Jack Quaid Recalls Meeting John Cena and Idris Elba in New 'Heads of State' Clip
Jack Quaid reflects on meeting Idris Elba and John Cena in a new ‘Heads of State’ promo video shared by Prime Video.
A new promo video for Heads of State has fans loving 
Jack Quaid even more. In the clip, shared by Prime Video, 
Idris Elba and 
John Cena reflect on meeting Quaid for the first time during a chaotic safe house scene. Elba calls him “a wonderful actor,” while Cena jokes about Quaid’s character being a bit too into the U.S. President.
Quaid, as always, leans into the humor, laughing about an overly complicated handshake and his hug-heavy approach to making friends. “This was my first day on set—first time meeting John and Idris. I told John, ‘Hey man, I’m gonna hug you a lot. Cool?’ And he was like, ‘Hell yeah, man.’”
Heads of State, now streaming on Prime Video, stars Elba as the UK Prime Minister and Cena as the U.S. President, with Quaid playing CIA agent Marty Comer. Directed by Ilya Naishuller, the action-comedy was released July 2, 2025.
