Hollywood’s comedy hall of fame is graced by human tickle machines like Jim Carrey, Eddie Murphy, Will Smith, and Ryan Reynolds to name a few. And most of these legends had humble beginnings that stemmed from the stand-up comedy stage. Among them is a pint-sized man with a larger-than-life sense of humor, Kevin Hart. Like a wildfire, Hart blazed through clubs and cinemas, leaving behind a trail of laughter-induced tears. 

Known for his rapid-fire delivery, Hart has become the king of relatable storytelling in recent times. And the latest story he wove on social media found a sympathizing audience full of celebrities that related to his struggles.

How did Kevin Hart end up in a wheelchair?

Through an Instagram post, the Ride Along actor declared, “Ladies and gentlemen, the age 40 is real.” Not because it was his birthday but because, at 44 when he tried to do “some young stuff” like running a sprint, his body “crumbled” leaving him in a wheelchair riddled with injuries. Hilariously, he relayed the events that led up to this through a comedic rant.

Maybe the father of four took inspiration from Will Smith who confessed to him about going too far for a movie in an interview. Or maybe he was just intent on proving that he could still race his friend as a not-so-young man. With regret, he questioned himself, “What was I doing?”

Regardless of what he was doing, Hart seemed to have learned his lesson. And if he did not yet, the hilarious advice pouring in from all sides might help!

The Rock, Will Smith, and Steve Harvey tell Hart to “heal up”

The comments on Hart’s post ranged from some friendly ridicule to genuine concern. Taking the funny route, Dwayne Johnson quipped “You’ll grow a 3rd ball but you’ll be fine 😂.” Meanwhile, Smith agreed that “getting older is REAL” Both actors and Steve Harvey ended their messages to the 44-year-old with a heartfelt “heal up.”

It was a given that Smith would show his solidarity considering how Hart stood by him even through slapgate! But veteran comedienne Wanda Sykes made a scary revelation by saying, “If 44 is kicking yo a*s..wait til you hit 55.” Which probably hit home for the Me Time actor most!

Do you agree with these celebrities who think that turning 40 is rough? Or do you think that if Arnold Schwarzenegger can pull off 76 in style, so can Kevin Hart? Share your thoughts in the comments.
