Kevin Hart revealed he’s in a wheelchair after trying to race former NFL running back Stevan Ridley. “Guys, I blew all my s—t,” the “Jumanji” star announced in an Instagram video Wednesday.
“Tore my lower abdomen, my abductors are torn — I don’t even know what that is, but I tore ’em. … I can’t walk!”
Hart, 44, rolled himself in the wheelchair for the camera while blaming his predicament on being over the age of 40.
“I tried to jump out there and do some young stuff … and I was told to sit my ass down,” he said. The actor explained his injuries stemmed from a “debate” with the retired New England Patriots player, 34, over “who is faster.”
Hart challenged Ridley to a 40-yard dash; however, the race ultimately went south for the “Me Time” star. “What are we competing for at this age? What am I doing?” the comedian wondered. “Why did I even race? Stupidest s—t ever! Now I can’t walk…”Hart also issued a public service announcement for fans over 40 to “respect their age” and not to be “alarmed” if they see him rolling around in the wheelchair.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the age 40 is real,” he said. “Respect that age or that age will make you respect it.”“I was just forced to respect it,” he continued, adding, “Sit my ass down. This is 44.”
He also referred to himself as the “dumbest man alive” in his caption.
Several celebrities hopped into the “Night School” star’s comments with well wishes and a few jokes.
Hart’s latest injuries come nearly four years after he was involved in a near-fatal car accident in September 2019.He fractured his spine in three places and was hospitalized for 10 days before being moved to a live-in rehab center for physical therapy.
The actor’s friend Jared Black was behind the wheel when the crash occurred.
