Early Life

Kevin Hart was born on July 6, 1979, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He and his older brother, Robert, were raised primarily by their mother, Nancy Hart, who worked as a systems analyst at the University of Pennsylvania in the Office of Student Registration and Financial Services. Their father, Henry Hart, struggled with addiction issues throughout much of Kevin's childhood and was largely absent, something Kevin has frequently spoken about in his stand-up routines. Comedy eventually became a coping mechanism for Kevin, allowing him to deal with family difficulties through humor.

Hart attended George Washington High School and briefly enrolled at the Community College of Philadelphia before deciding to pursue comedy full-time. He left school, moved first to New York City and later to the Boston area, and worked as a shoe salesman to support himself while chasing his dream of performing. Those early years laid the foundation for the persistence and hustle that would later define his career.

Career

Kevin Hart's entry into comedy came at an amateur night in a Philadelphia club, which led to his first regular performances at The Laff House. His initial attempts were rocky—he was booed off stage several times while imitating the style of other comedians such as Chris Tucker. Realizing he needed his own voice, Hart began focusing on material drawn from his personal life, a choice that eventually resonated with audiences.

His breakthrough as a touring comedian came in the late 2000s. The comedy specials "I'm a Grown Little Man" (2009) and "Seriously Funny" (2010) made him a household name, while "Laugh at My Pain" (2011) was a cultural phenomenon that grossed more than $15 million, one of the highest-grossing stand-up tours of its time. He followed with "Let Me Explain" (2013), "What Now?" (2015–2016), "Irresponsible" (2017–2019), and "Zero F**ks Given" (2020). The latter earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album. His tours regularly sell out arenas worldwide, and Hart has redefined the scale of what a stand-up comedian can achieve on the road.

In addition to stand-up, Hart carved out a major Hollywood career. His early film roles included "Paper Soldiers," "Scary Movie 3," and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," before leading parts in "Soul Plane" and "Little Fockers." He became one of the most bankable comedy stars of the 2010s and 2020s with hits such as "Ride Along," "Get Hard," "Central Intelligence," and the "Jumanji" franchise, which grossed nearly $2 billion combined. He has also voiced characters in animated hits like "The Secret Life of Pets" and appeared in Netflix projects including "Fatherhood" (2021) and the action-comedy "Lift" (2024).

Success

Kevin Hart's career trajectory is one of the most remarkable in modern comedy. His specials "I'm a Grown Little Man" and "Seriously Funny" established him with Comedy Central audiences, and from there he became a fixture in blockbuster comedies. By 2020, Hart was consistently one of the highest-earning entertainers in the world, often bringing in $50–$70 million per year through film, touring, endorsements, and business ventures.

As of today, Hart's films have generated more than $1.3 billion at the global box office, and his touring grosses place him among the most successful comedians of all time. Beyond financial success, Hart has achieved cultural influence: he hosted the MTV Video Music Awards, appeared at the Academy Awards (though stepped down from hosting in 2019 after controversy), and continues to sell out global arenas.

Recent projects include "Me Time" (2022) with Mark Wahlberg, Netflix's "Lift" (2024), and a growing slate of productions through his HartBeat media company. He has also transitioned into more dramatic roles, showing range in projects like "Fatherhood" and the limited series "True Story" alongside Wesley Snipes.

Other Ventures

Kevin Hart has leveraged his fame into a broad portfolio of business ventures. In 2009, he founded HartBeat Productions, which has grown into a full-scale entertainment company managing film, television, and comedy projects. In 2022, Hart merged HartBeat Productions with his Laugh Out Loud network, raising $100 million in private equity funding and creating one of the most powerful Black-owned media companies in Hollywood.

His entrepreneurial ventures also extend to fashion, fitness, and food. He launched an underwear line with Tommy John in 2017 and has endorsement deals with major brands including Nike, Samsung, Mountain Dew, Wrangler, and AT&T. He also created the HartBeat Studios content platform and continues to host shows across digital and radio formats.

In 2022, Hart entered the plant-based restaurant industry with the launch of Hart House in Los Angeles. The fast-casual chain offers vegan alternatives to classic fast-food staples like burgers, chicken sandwiches, and nuggets. Hart has publicly expressed his ambition to expand Hart House nationally, positioning it as a healthier competitor to traditional fast-food outlets.

Hart remains one of the highest-paid comedians in the world, thanks in large part to his relentless touring schedule. His "What Now?" tour featured 168 shows worldwide, while the "Irresponsible Tour" included 119 performances across multiple continents. In strong touring years, Hart has earned upwards of $70 million from ticket sales alone.

Personal Life

Kevin was married to a fellow comedian named Torrei Hart from 2003 to 2010. They had two children together but ultimately separated. Hart requested joint custody of their two children, daughter Heaven Leigh, born in 2005, and son Hendrix, born in 2007. The divorce was finalized in November 2011.

On August 13, 2016, Hart and Eniko Parrish married in Santa Barbara, California. Their son, Kenzo Kash, was born in November 2017. A month after Kenzo's birth, Hart admitted to cheating on Eniko while she was pregnant. Their daughter Kaori Mai was born in September 2020.

Kevin has mentioned in his standup act that he has a difficult relationship with his father. His father, Henry Witherspoon, was a hardcore cocaine addict for many years, which put a strain on both their relationship and Kevin's childhood. His father was in and out of prison throughout his childhood. Kevin developed his sense of humor as a coping mechanism to take his family's mind off the trials and tribulations of their addict father. He speaks lovingly of his mother in the act, but unfortunately, she died of cancer in 2006.

In April 2013, Hart failed a field sobriety test after his car almost hit a tanker truck on a Los Angeles freeway. He was booked for misdemeanor DUI. In August of that same year, he was sentenced to three years' probation.

In August 2019, Kevin was involved in a car wreck that left him with serious injuries. Kevin was the passenger when a friend drove a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda off a road in Malibu into a ditch.
