Famous Comedian Kevin Hart recently made an attempt at a friendly foot race that has left him temporarily confined to a wheelchair. The 44-year-old comedian, known for his humor and candidness, shared the news of his injury on Instagram. Hart challenged the former NFL star Stevan Ridley for a 40-yard dash that turned out to be a painful lesson.
Hart's Instagram video, which has now been viewed over several million times, explains that the race itself wasn't the direct cause of his injuries. Instead, he attributes his torn lower abdomen, hip muscles, and thigh muscles to the fact that he attempted such a physical feat at his age.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the age 40 is real," Hart humorously commented. He directed a message to people above 40, urging them to respect the physical limitations that come with age. "Respect that age, or that age will make you respect it. I was just forced to respect it," he added.
Hart is seen in a wheelchair in the video. Addressing his son in a humorous manner Hart stated that any plans for future races have been indefinitely postponed.
