The actress opens up about her role in the new action-comedy, where the U.K. prime minister and U.S. president must team up to stop a global conspiracy after becoming targets of a foreign enemy.
I was talking to the crew backstage.
I've got to introduce you. Our next guest is a pot stirrer.
She is also a Bollywood and Hollywood star, producer and best-selling author.
Now, Priyanka Chopra Jonas is starring in a new action comedy film, Head of State.
Priyanka, it's always great to have you back here.
Let's give a big welcome to Priyanka.
See, there's your audience.
Yeah, there you go. We have the crew.
We're excited. The movie, the movie.
Okay, the movie. John Cena plays the president.
Idris Elba plays the British prime minister.
You, I have a feeling, are probably better than both of them.
So, tell us about your character.
So, my character is an MI6 agent that has to deliver them to safety.
That's it. But what's hilarious about it is, I'm like 5'6", okay?
And I'm schooling these guys, looking up at their, whatever, hugeness.
And it's just so funny, and the dynamic between the three of us is hysterical.
The guys together are really funny. Their chemistry is amazing.
We just had a great time filming this movie.
I really think it comes out July 4th weekend, but July 2nd, it's on your TVs.
And it's one of those movies you want to watch on Friday night with your friends.
It's a big laugh riot, and you're going to love it.
I've seen the extended trailer, and I cannot wait.
I think it'll be up your alley.
I know it's going to be up my alley.
The opening scene, though, we saw a little bit of it in the clip there.
It's a festival in Spain.
Yes, it's called the Tomatina Festival.
The tomato food fight, and you all recreated that.
It looked a little messy.
Yeah, it was insanely messy, but this is all fake tomatoes.
What?
We faked the entire thing, the magic of the movies.
We did not want to be filming, and the crew definitely didn't want their shoes and their feet
in rotting tomatoes for six days because we shot this sequence over six days.
So our budget, big part of the budget of the movie was on that sequence
because everything was SFX, so they had hypoallergenic products that made all of this.
So it didn't ruin my skin. It was amazing.
You didn't get to throw a real tomato at John Cena?
No. The boys aren't even part of the beginning.
It was just me, so it was a lot of fun.
Well, we do have a clip here. Let's go ahead and take a look.
Let's go.
Listen, I'm the Commander-in-Chief.
Okay, respectfully, sir, no you're not.
The Vice President was sworn in a few hours ago, and he has never been Commander-in-Chief of anything.
The King is. In fact, he's the only head of state that's not an actual head of state.
Again, King, you're just two guys that are out of luck, so let's go.
We saw you there pointing up to them.
You better behave yourselves.
So your co-stars there are obviously John Cena, Idris Elba.
I understand they took on sort of a bromance during the filming of this.
What was it like working with them?
Oh, it was amazing. I didn't feel left out at all.
It didn't feel like, it wasn't like it was high school.
No, they both decided to work, they wanted to work together when they did Suicide Squad,
and that's where the movie, the inception of the movie came about.
And Peter Safran was like, we've got to bottle and sell this.
So I'm just really happy to be on the ride with them and be the only girl in this really masculine energy.
I have a great time.
The chemistry looks amazing between the three of you.
Oh, for sure. Thank you.
We've been having a good time on this press tour too, so it's been fun.
Well, you may be the only girl on set, but you're not the only girl at home.
No.
You've got your three-year-old daughter. We saw you took her to Disney World for the first time.
She rode her first roller coaster.
This girl.
Is she adventurous like that?
I think so, because I was like, you want to go on a roller coaster?
Because we had an older kid, my godson Tian.
And she was like, yes.
I said, I don't know if you're going to make the height restriction, you know?
But she just by the skin of her teeth made it.
And she was so proud of the fact that she touched it.
And then she went the first time and like, you know how when you go on a roller coaster, you don't know what to do with your neck?
Yeah.
Like the bobble head.
Her little neck was, I was so scared.
I had to keep my hand on her head.
And then she just said, Mama, can we go again?
And we went four times.
Four times.
Adrenaline junkie.
But you said she's also a girly girl.
Yeah, she's such a girly girl.
She loves princesses.
She loves coming into my closet, wearing my shoes, seeing my dresses.
She was with us when we were getting dressed for the Met Gala.
And she put on my gloves and my hat.
And she said, Mama and Gaga are going to a ball just like Cinderella.
How sweet.
I was like, yes, we kind of are.
Gaga, that's dad.
Nick's name is Gaga.
What does she call the Jonas Brothers?
Oh, yeah, the Donut Brothers.
I think we need to call them that when they come back.
Yeah, please do.
I would love that, introducing the Donut Brothers.
That would be awesome.
Does she have a favorite Disney princess?
Yes, she introduces herself as Malti Marie Moana Chopra Jonas.
She insists she is Moana.
She insists that's her name, like officially her name in school.
She'll say, I am Malti Marie Moana.
Malti Marie Moana.
That's your girl.
Who has any money to correct her?
Yeah, why should we?
It's just her world, and we're living in it.
We found out that Whit's name is not, first name is not Whitney.
It's Whitney.
It's a really complicated family story.
We find out all kind of things here.
I know we got to.
Remember Whitney?
It involves a mountaintop and a camping trip.
We won't get into it.
Oh, now I'm really interested.
We can tell you the commercial break.
Hey, we love having you here.
Thank you.
Always so much fun.
So nice to be here.
Love, love seeing everything that you do.
And this is funny, everybody.
Check it out.
Heads Upstate premieres July 2nd on Prime.
You know where I'll be.
Sitting on my couch watching it.
That's right.
