Kevin Hart, the renowned comedian, has recently found himself in a wheelchair after attempting to engage in youthful activities. In a candid video shared on his verified Instagram post, Hart admits to being “the dumbest man alive!” The 44-year-old comedian recounts an incident where he and former NFL running back, Stevan Ridley, got into an argument about who would win in a race. They decided to settle the dispute by running a 40-yard dash, and this is where Hart quickly discovered the consequences of challenging youth in his 40s.
As Hart recalls the ill-fated race, he expresses his disbelief at the outcome. “We get out there, we go run the 40-yard dash,” he explains. “Guys, I blew all my s–t. Tore my lower abdomen, my abductors. I don’t even know what that is, but I tore them. I tore those too. I can’t walk. Sit my ass down. This is 44.” Hart’s description of his injuries serves as a stark reminder that our bodies become more vulnerable as we age.
Upon sharing his video, Hart received an outpouring of support from fellow celebrities. Will Smith, in his comment, acknowledges the reality of aging and sends well wishes to his friend, saying, “Getting older is REAL!! Heal Up, Kev!!” Former NBA star Matt Barnes adds a touch of humor to the situation, suggesting that Hart should “put some spinners on [his] wheelchair.” These comments reflect the camaraderie among entertainers, who understand the physical demands of their profession and the risks associated with trying to defy time.
This recent accident is not the first time Kevin Hart has faced physical setbacks. In 2019, he suffered “major back injuries” in a car crash in Calabasas. Despite these obstacles, Hart has managed to maintain an active career. His comedy series, Die Hard, was recently renewed for a third season at Roku following a highly successful premiere weekend for Season 2. Additionally, he has recently completed the action comedy film, Lift, directed by F. Gary Gray, which is set to debut on Netflix on January 12, 2024. Hart’s resilience in the face of adversity is commendable, and he continues to thrive in the entertainment industry.
