Kevin Hart embraced his body limits the hard way! The sensational comedian dared to test his skills against the former NFL star just to destroy his pride.
The entertainer is one of the world’s most beloved stars known for his self-deprecating humor. When he’s not making people laugh with his stand-up shows, the Philadelphia native is winning praise for his iconic roles in Hollywood.
Unfortunately, the father-of-four won’t be taking part in any major projects for quite some time as he suffers from the effects of his latest stunt. The 44-year-old ended up in a wheelchair after an unfortunate race against Stevan Ridley.
Kevin Hart Learns Painful Lesson About Old Age After Underestimating Former Athlete’s Speed
The “Ride Along” star recently revealed the embarrassing injury he received from challenging the former NFL player. Taking to her Instagram page on Wednesday, August 23, the TV personality detailed the event in a hilarious video.

Dressed casually in a white Gucci hoodie designed in the brand’s signature colors and a matching white beanie, the “Hart to Heart” host filmed herself outdoors while telling the story that landed her in a wheelchair.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the age of 40 is real. To all my men, women out there over 40, it’s no joke. Respect that age,” declared Hart. “Respect that age or it will make you respect it. I’m just forced to respect him.”
The 44-year-old explained he made the video a “public service announcement” because he didn’t want people to worry about his well-being when they saw him in a wheelchair. The stand-up personality paused to show off a walking aid before continuing his sad story.
“I am in a wheelchair. why? Well, because I’m trying to jump in there and do some young stuff. I tried to go out there and do some young man stuff, and I was told to sit down,” said the Philadelphia native, revealing Ridley was his companion that fateful day.
The two have been debating who is faster, a title the comedian believes he deserves. However, the Laugh Out Loud Productions founder’s confidence was the seed of his failure when he challenged the former NFL star to a 40-yard dash.
As noted, the results of the race were far from the NAACP Image Award winner’s expectations. Sharing his decision, Hart admitted: “Guys, I’m blowing everything. I tore my lower abdomen, my abductor tore, I don’t know what it was, but I tore it, I tore that too. I can’t walk.”
The Hollywood icon then sighed, “Sit down. This is 44,” before scolding himself for challenging Ridley, “Tell you what you just lost, kid. You’re just missing every chance I’ll be racing you anytime soon. Finished.”
The self-criticism continued with the BET Award recipient reflecting on his wild act, wondering, “What are we competing for at this age? What am I doing? Why am I racing?” Stupidest idiot, now I can’t walk because I’m trying to get the title of fastest n*gga at the barbecue,” lamented Hart.
“What was I thinking, son? Lord! Must be the dumbest man alive.”
The comedian was teased by his friend because of his injury
Following the “Real Husbands of Hollywood” executive producer’s update, some of the stand-up personality’s famous friends sympathized with the father of four. “Getting older is REAL!! Get well, Kev!!” Will Smith commented.
On the other hand, Dwayne Johnson couldn’t resist teasing his “Jumanji” co-stars. “I tore my adductor from my pelvis during a wrestling match. True story. You will be fine. You’re going to grow a 3rd ball, but you’re going to be fine,” the former WWE star joked, adding, “Get well.”
Hart’s account of the incident did not satisfy Phil Heath, as the bodybuilder playfully asked the 44-year-old for evidence. “Not that we need the video, but we need the video, Kev, just as a reminder for us over 40 cats,” the media personality claimed.
The race against Ridley was not the comedian’s first encounter with a painful injury, as he had suffered severe back damage following a near-fatal accident.
The Philadelphia native underwent surgery in September 2019 after his car rolled into an embankment in Malibu Hills. The “Soul Plane” star was in the passenger seat when the accident happened.
However, surviving the incident left him with immense gratitude for life. According to the father of four, his “biggest cry of his life” happened when he got home from the hospital.

Hart admitted he had gotten emotional thinking about losing his wife and children. Although he escaped with his life, the TV personality spent time recovering in a rehabilitation facility, learning how to walk again.
