Kevin Hart will star in the buddy comedy The Wedding Ringer on Jan. 16. During a recent interview with rolling out in Los Angeles, Hart revealed several interesting facts about himself.
Here are the five things you didn’t know about Kevin Hart.
There are a few movies he could watch 1,000 times or more
“There are a few movies that will never get old. Love Jones mainly because of Nia Long, sheesh. I can also watch I’m Gonna Git You Sucka forever. I can watch that just to see when [Antonio Fargas] got out of jail and wore shoes with a fish tank on his heels.”
He’s a huge fan of MC Hammer
“MC Hammer’s I Can’t Touch This album was a classic album. Because you can’t touch this. That’s why. That’s why you can’t. I don’t care what anybody says, I’m a Hammer fan. Hammer is an entertainer, man. Who was the dude in the background, dude with the voice in the background? I wanna meet that guy. I got another one for you, Drake’s Take Care. All feelings are in that album.”
He has a comedy dream team for a stand-up tour
“I would start with Dave Chappelle, just because Dave Chappelle is Dave Chappelle and he’s a pioneer, a ridiculous writer, and an amazing storyteller. He brings so much to the table. Richard Pryor. Chris Rock. That’s an amazing show, that’s a dream show. The fact that I just wish I got a chance to meet Pryor, I’ve never met Richard Pryor. That’s one person that I wish I had a chance to meet because I’m such a fan. I can throw Martin Lawrence into the mix. I can go for days. Jerry Seinfeld. I’m a student of comedy. You know this is what I love.”
He blames Trey Songz for setting a girl’s hair on fire at Diddy’s album release party in 2010
“Nobody knows this, but Trey Songz set that girl’s hair on fire,” Hart says jokingly. “I’m gonna come on out and say it. Trey set that girl’s hair on fire and nobody knows that. For all those times people thought it was an accident, Trey did that. I’m putting it all on Trey. Trey set that girl’s hair on fire. It was years ago, it’s time that the truth comes out, OK. To the girl’s scalp, you need to know what happened to you. I think Trey did that to you because you were fine. Hey, you put the pieces of the puzzle together, baby. I’m saying if it fits, understand why!”
He has a theory on how awkward men can meet women
“You gotta find an awkward woman. Whenever you look at awkward guys, they are with awkward women. You ever see a couple that don’t blink their eyes and just stares? That’s how they met each other sitting in the park. ‘Hey, I noticed you over there not blinking too. Do you like to just watch?’ ‘Yeah I watch all the time.’ Weird people attract weird people. That’s all. Weird people have places where they go to find weird people. This is a definite fact.”
