Why Kevin Hart stopped doing his personal film stunts?
Kevin Hart blames Ice Dice for making him rethink doing his personal stunts in motion pictures.
On the most recent episode of Sizzling Ones, Hart shared a narrative about filming Experience Together with Ice Dice.
“I got a good [story] about Ice Cube,” Hart recalled. “We were doing Ride Along. While doing the stunt, Ice Cube punched one of the stuntmen in the face for real by accident, and the stunt guy kind of [got] knocked out for a second.”
The Jumanji: The Subsequent Degree actor continued, “I remember Cube just hugging the stunt guy like, ‘You are going to be all right.’ … The stunt guy was like, ‘No, I’m alright,’ [and] you [could] just see his nose bleeding a little bit.”
Hart continued, “I was like, ‘Oh! That can happen? We can actually get hit?’… The energy that I used to have … younger me was like, ‘Throw me on the fucking table! You have got to slam me? Go ahead. Just do it, do one take so we get the real reaction.’ But now I’m 45. I don’t even want to run.”
The incident made Hart admire the stunt group extra. “Those guys do not get enough credit, man,” he mentioned. “There should be a stunt award. They really do not get enough love.”
Hart praised the expertise and dangers taken by stuntmen, saying, “Some of these movies that you have watched and fallen in love with where guys are falling from buildings or going through windows or falling down cliffs — they are using real people for that.”
