Kevin Hart has revealed a very personal health update after injuring himself in a traumatic jogging mishap.
On Wednesday, the Jumanji star posted a video from his wheelchair in which he said that he engaged in a footrace against New England Patriots player Stevan Ridley, but may have pushed himself too far in his quest to find who was faster.
As you do…
During the race, the 44-year-old tore his lower abdomen and abductors and will be out of commission for six to eight weeks.
Fortunately, he had his sense of humour intact as he spoke up about his recovery in a new video, joking that his private parts had suffered.
‘You know how long it takes me to get the f**k out of the car?’ Kevin said, panning the camera over to the wheelchair alongside him in a car. I’m a jumbled mess. I’m a f**king shambles, guy.
‘This s**t got me… It’s bad, it’s f**king bad. My d**k looks like a thumb. Everything is swollen. Balls done got big as hell.
‘Can’t move my goddamn legs. All from “on your marks, get set, go”. Never again.’
The Central Intelligence star also playfully called out his renowned buddies for making light of the situation by informing him that he’s “supposed to be in shape.”
Having precisely none of it, he fumed: ‘B***h, I am in shape! This ain’t got nothing to do with being in shape! When’s the last time you have run an all-out sprint? I’m talking about a hard effort run, giving it all you got?
‘When’s the last time you have given yourself a 1000% effort sprint? People don’t do this s**t. Not at the age 40 and up. That’s why my stupid ass is in this situation.
‘To every friend that has called me and has laughed at me, boy… After this six to eight weeks when I get back to functioning, I’m going to light your asses up. You know who the f**k you are.
‘”On your marks, get set, go.” Set me down, didn’t it? It should’ve been, “on your marks, get set, no”. That’s what the f**k I should’ve did. That’s what I’m going to do next time.
‘We’ll be back, this road to recovery is going to be real.’
Kevin’s friends ignored his warning and made fun of his situation in the comments section.
Dwayne Johnson was among the first to reply, and insisted: ‘I said what I said out of love.’
Wanda Sykes suggested a possible business opportunity in his injury, penning: ‘Look on the bright side! Now you can drop your own line of wheelchairs. HartWheels!’
Don Cheadle laughed: ‘Aren’t you a little OLD to be running races, mother?’
As Kevin’s wife, Eniko Hart, added: ‘I bet next time you’ll listen to me!’
The Ride Along hero declared earlier this week that he will be in a wheelchair for the foreseeable future due to terrible injuries.
In his account of the accident, he claimed that he was quicker than NFL icon Stevan and did a 40-yard sprint to prove it.
However, it didn’t quite go to plan as Kevin accidentally ‘blew all [his] s**t’ in the sprint.
‘Tore my lower abdomen and my abductors are torn. I don’t even know what that is, but I tore them,’ he revealed. ‘I can’t walk. This is 44… It’s over, sit down. What are we competing for at this age? What am I even doing? Why did I even race? Stupidest s**t ever.
‘Got to be the stupidest man alive. It is what it is. This is life. I’m out.’
