Kevin Hart Clarifies His Height and Whether or Not He Is a Billionaire

Kevin Hart wants people to be aware of how drastically inflated some rumors about his height have been.

The actor corrected misinformation with Anderson Cooper during his appearance on Sunday night’s broadcast of CBS’s 60 Minutes. Cooper pointed out that the Los Angeles Times listed Cooper’s height as 5-foot-4, but GQ listed it as 5-foot-5. Cooper continued, “And some other place said you were 5’2.”

Hart said, “Well, that place is bullshit.” “GQ has finally nailed it. I stand five feet five inches tall, like when I wear a sneaker. I can now reach 5’5 and a half if I wear a boot.

Hart, who includes gags about his diminutive size in his stand-up routine, gave an explanation for why he has been using them for more than 20 years.

He explained, “It’s talking about the things about yourself that you aren’t afraid to laugh at.” “I have a great deal of confidence that the laughter I’m receiving does not necessarily mean that you’re finding me funny. You’re giggling over the encounter. I’m providing you a relatable narrative to help you experience something. More significantly, I’m speaking up about things that other people simply can’t bring themselves to utter.

Hart responded with a joke when Cooper inquired if he was a billionaire yet: “None of your business.” Man, are you attempting to defraud me?

“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 entertainment business, right? That’s how serious Hart became when asked if he would become a billionaire. Not merely participating in the business, but also becoming knowledgeable about and adept at running the business.

Cooper also questioned Hart on the 2018–19 scandal, in which he was chosen to host the Oscars ceremony but had to resign after offensive remarks he had made in the past on social media and in his stand-up routine came to light. Among them was, “I’m not homophobic.” I’m not against homosexuals in any way. Be content. Follow your desires. However, as a straight man, I will stop my son from being gay if I can.

Hart changed his mind after initially refusing to apologize. He restated on 60 Minutes his earlier remarks on how Wanda Sykes made him understand the significance of what he was saying.

Hart said to Cooper, “Later on, the understanding came from the best light bulb ever.” “People are being hurt today because of comments you made back then, and some people were saying it was okay to make those comments today based on what you did,” Wanda Sykes stated. I was unable to ignore the way it was presented to me.

He claimed to have learned the lesson well.

If given the chance, “in those moments of despair, great understanding and education can come out of it,” he continued.
