Jack Quaid’s Shocking Transformation at NBA Game — A Bizarre Publicity Stunt or Real Trouble?

Global Look Press — still from the movie 'Novocaine' (2025)

Bruised, bandaged, and smiling — Quaid’s appearance shocked the crowd.

What wouldn't one do for the publicity of their new film to grab attention? In this regard, there's no limit for The Boys star.

Actor Jack Quaid appeared at the basketball game between the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Clippers with bruises and bandages, sitting next to his Novocaine co-star, Amber Midthunder.

At first glance, it looked as though he had just emerged from a street brawl. As the night went on, his injuries seemed to worsen, drawing laughs from the crowd. Every time Quaid appeared on the jumbotron, it seemed his condition had deteriorated further, with new cuts or casts adding a touch of dark humor to the situation.

A video montage shared by Pop Crave on X/Twitter showed Quaid initially in high spirits, clapping and enjoying the game, though his arm was clearly in a sling. The video then shifted to an interview, where Quaid claimed to be "so happy" to be there, but his appearance told a different story. His face was bloodied and bruised, and his neck was supported by a brace, suggesting that things were not as carefree as he let on.

And yes, It’s all part of a painfully funny marketing stunt for Novocaine, which hits theaters on March 14. Jack Quaid stars in the film as Nathan "Nate" Caine, a man who uses his inability to feel pain to his advantage while trying to rescue the girl of his dreams after she’s kidnapped by a group of thugs.
