What Its Really Like Filming With Kevin Hart

Well, uh, I don't know why I did this special in San Antonio and bought a leather jacket. I've got to film me sweating like Samuel L. Jackson in a time to kill in about 30 seconds. He's sweating that whole movie. He was innocent he was sweating. Uh, yeah. Well, the, uh, the year's flying. I can't believe we're, I can't believe it's been so long, man. The new year was crazy. It started off with, uh, Lifetime television. Aaron's Surviving R. Kelly right off the bat. Really appreciate that. Could have waited another couple months so I could enjoy his music for a little while longer. You got to let somebody know when you're airing all the dirty laundry out. What's crazy about R. Kelly is I watched it. I watched that documentary Surviving R. Kelly was six episodes. And, uh, it's crazy. I was whole career is like before the piss and after the piss, that was like the whole timeline, you know? Like I, and I didn't tape Surviving R. Kelly. I watched all six episodes live. By episode four, I was the guy on Twitter. **** R. Kelly. I ain't listen to his ---- no more. He's deleted forever. Three days later, I'm at a party. Step, step, side to side, bring it back. I went, ah, ----. I ain't supposed to be dancing to this no more. But I couldn't stop dancing. I go, oh my God, here's the Pied Piper. His music has taken over my legs. I swear after, uh, after watching Surviving R. Kelly and all these other scandals that happen every week, I'm, I'm to the point of my career where I'm just happy to be an entertainer without a scandal right now. You know? I mean, it's, I mean, it's gotten to the point where I'm scared to open up my laptop in the morning because that's me looking at it like, ah, ----. It's today to day. Cause I've never done anything to anybody. I'm not worried about that. Still don't mean somebody can't accuse me of ----. You know, I give me nothing for a woman to come out of left field and be like, Gary Owen smacked my ass in 1992. It's at a crisscross concert. Your clothes were on backwards. I keep, I keep waiting for a white lady to come after me. I keep waiting for a white lady to be like, Gary Owen sexually harassed me. Now, you know, you lie. Even my wife would be like, she bullshit. She ain't do that. I guess what's messed me up lately is like, like comedians are getting a lot of scandals now. It used to be like athletes and rappers had all the scandals. Now it's like comedians, we leading the charge. You know, you got, you got Bill Cosby, he's in jail. You know, it seems like every year Kevin Hart's got to go through something like, like, like this last year was the Oscars. Like, I didn't like how the Oscars did Kevin. Like, how are you going to ask that man to host the Oscars? And then the very next day asked to apologize for some tweets he sent out over 10 years ago that you should have known about before he asked him to host the show anyways. And plus he would just bullshit with his boys. There was nothing malicious behind his tweets, but all of a sudden he did some gay tweets. And now these people were like, Kevin Hart's a homophobe. He's a homophobe. Let me tell you something. That dude is definitely not a homophobe. I've known the guy 20 years, done three movies with him. One movie is called Ride Along. And that movie, I had nothing but underwear and honey on my chest. That was my whole wardrobe, you know? And Kevin, you know, Kevin had to lay on my chest, you know? So when you see that movie, that scene's only like two, three minutes long, but when we shot it, it took like 30, 35 minutes to get that scene right. And to Kevin's credit, he never left my chest. He stayed there all 35 minutes. What kind of homophobe is going to lay in a man's chest for 35 minutes straight? Get the **** out of here. True professional, committed to the craft, you know? But I do remember we were shooting Ride Along, right? Like every time before the director would say action, I'd have Kevin headlock and his head be right here. I just started whispering to him, just to mess with his head right before we shoot the scene. I'd just be sitting there like, I dreamed of this. Can you believe we're here right now? Look at God, won't he do it? Can't be so mad. Get, shut the **** up. Get on me. Shut up. Dang, Kev, you strong. Like a little Ninja Turtle.
