Hart has reportedly torn several lower body muscles.

Looks like Kevin Hart is going to be out of action for a while. The actor and comedian took to social media to post a few videos of himself rolling around in a wheelchair. It seems that Hart's recent attempt to run the 40-yard dash against a former NFL running back resulted in a series of major injuries. According to Hart's video, he has suffered a torn lower abdomen and torn abductors while attempting to outpace Stevan Ridley. Ridley played eight seasons in the NFL between 2011 and 2018.

Hart appeared humbled at the very least, stating that it was the stupidest thing he had done in his life. Furthermore, he went on to question why he had even tried, saying that he had been blinded by the desire to be the "fastest man at the BBQ." He went on to say that the injury was a sign that he needed to "slow down" and "act his age." Hart turned 44 last month.
