H&M Essentials ad

Ad Appearance0 Comments

Beckham and Hart appear in a long-form ad for H&M. Hart follows Beckham for a week in an attempt to get to know him so he can play him in I, Beckham, the movie. Beckham:

Kevin Hart is one of the funniest, smartest guys around. I love to do the unexpected for my H&M campaigns. I hope everyone enjoys watching it as much as I did making it…It’s always an interesting experience to see someone else’s view of how you are. I guess I’m not aware of having a particular pose or look, I’m just being myself. So it’s funny to see that my actions and the way I move are also part of my character. I’ve always thought it was important to not take yourself too seriously, and this campaign is the perfect chance to show why.

Hart:

He told me not to screw it up and he wished I was taller. [Playing him was] very easy…the thing that David and I have in common is sexiness. It comes naturally to me.

On Air interview

Interview0 Comments

Hart gives an interview to Ryan Seacrest during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his role in The Wedding Ringer. 

I love it because it’s the first time I got to play a character of this level. Not only am I funny, but I’m responsible for driving the story. And there are emotional levels as well. It’s refreshing to see me in this light.

Seacrest interviews Hart during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about how he got one of his fans her job back.

So the woman got off the bus she was driving and wanted to take a picture with me, and I took a picture with her and TMZ just so happened to be out there filming me as I was coming off. So the thing kind of went all over social media, and the woman winded up getting in trouble, and I basically just went to bat for her, and put up a video and kind of got National’s attention by saying people make mistakes. Unfortunately, this is one that I guarantee that she didn’t intend to have these repercussions. Look at the bright side, it was me. If I had seen me, I would’ve got off and took a picture with me too! I made a joke out of it and National cut her some slack and gave her her job back.

Kevin Hart interview

Seacrest interviews Hart during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his fear of roller coasters.

Let me tell you why I’m afraid. I don’t like the fact that I’m confined, yet that I’m still a little loose. I’m so small, even though the thing clamps me down, when you’re going up and down, my body leans forward and it always feels like I’m about to come out. So the theory is I’m going to go on one of those loops and I’m going to fall out. Like I’m going to slip up under this thing and fall. If you look at that video, look at the way I’m holding on. My leg is wrapped around it it’s like a little kid. It’s a fear, Ryan. It’s bad.

Opera interviews Kevin Hart in his home for Oprah’s Next Chapter. Opera questions Hart on his family, success, and social media.

Social media is everything for me. I mean in our generation in today’s time being able to talk back and forth with your fans goes a long way. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Vine, these things are all tools that I don’t — I don’t like to say that — the actors before me, but, the older actors, you know, the Denzels, your Will Smiths, they’re not social media savvy because they didn’t have to back then.

About Last Night

0 Comments

Hart stars in About Last Night as Bernie. This movie tales the tale of two couples who meet in a bar only to see if their relationships can last outside of the bedroom. Co-starring Michael Ealy and Joy Bryant.

I feel like About Last Night is a little more edgy and vulgar.  We’re pressing buttons and pushing the envelope.

Ride Along

Film Appearance0 Comments

Hart stars in this action comedy film directed by Tim Story, playing a video game-loving high school security guard named Ben Barber, who aspires to become a police officer to earn the approval of the girlfriend’s brother, played by Ice Cube. To prove himself, he rides along with the brother – an undercover police officer – and together, they try to catch a Serbian smuggler. Cast members include John Leguizamo and Laurence Fishburne.

There are so many laugh-out-loud moments in the movie. My favorite has to be the warehouse, where I slapped Cube and stuck him with a knife. That was so fun! Those were some long days, and he just had to sit there in the chair. Cube didn’t have a lot of activity to do. It was just me, running around. But, there was this one moment where I stick him with the knife. We were really laughing out loud so much, during that take.

Seacrest interviews Hart during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and about why he didn’t rehearse for his VMA performance.

For me, not long at all. Because I do what I want. They say, ‘Kevin stand here.’ I say, ‘No, I’m going to stand there.’ And they say, ‘Okay.’ Because I’m a big deal.
