Kevin Hart also talks about outlets quoting his false age
Kevin Hart is clearing the steer regarding his height.
The 44-year-old comedian disclosed his true height in an interview with Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes Sunday. Cooper noted that GQ had reported Hart’s height as 5’5″, but another publication had reported him as 5’2″
“That place is bulls—,” Hart laughed. “GQ finally got it right. [I’m] 5-foot-5, like with a shoe on, like a sneaker. Now, if I put a boot on, I can get to 5’5″ and a half.”
The Jumanji actor hasn’t avoided talking about his height in the last few decades. He explained to Cooper that this is because he finds humour in himself.
“I’m really confident that the laugh that I’m getting, you’re not laughing necessarily at me as if I’m a joke — you’re laughing at the experience,” he said. “I’m giving you an experience through a story that is relatable. And more importantly, I’m saying things that other people just don’t have the heart to say.”
Cooper made light of a “tall tale” Hart related about his wife watching “tall people p**n” in his shows.
“Is that what you want?” Hart quipped as he recalled his reaction, adding, “I can’t fix that so we have a problem.”
Hart was more reticent whenever the subject of money was raised. Cooper inquired as to Hart’s status as a billionaire.
“None of your business,” Hart joked, prompting a giggle from Cooper. “Man, are you trying to get me robbed?”
He continued: “I mean, hopefully, and even if I don’t or if I’m not, I think the better side to what I’ve done is create what can become the new norm for other people in the business of funny, for other people in the business of entertainment, right? Not just being a part of the business, but learning and understanding how to be the business.”
