In ‘True Story,’ Kevin Hart Really Does Kill

As he approached for our lunchtime interview last Thursday, Hart was in the midst of a phone call that he couldn’t get out of or wasn’t finished with.

Hart, the 42-year-old stand-up and comic actor, keeps a relentlessly busy schedule and he seems to like it that way.

In “True Story,” which is scheduled for release on Wednesday, Hart plays a mega-popular comedian and actor known simply as the Kid.

As Hart explained to me between bites of French fries and sips of coffee, “True Story” was created to show that he is as capable of hard-edge drama as he is of any other genre.

“When it’s all said and done with me and my career, people are going to realize that I’ve checked every box,” he said.

We were like, “Do you think we can get him?” I was like, “I’m going to reach out.” Wesley thought it was a comedy at first; he was a little distant.

When you have that confidence and security to embrace another talent and stand by another talent, it says a lot about who you are.

In what world is a friend not going to be a friend if he wants to be a friend? With Dave, I think the media have an amazing way of making what they want a narrative to be.

I know that he embraces the LGBT+ community, because he has friends who are close to him from that community.

But the energy that’s put into wanting to change or end someone, it’s getting out of hand.

My ego blinded to me where I couldn’t see what the real thing was about.

Because I missed it, that doesn’t make me a person who hates — that makes me oblivious to a moment because I was wrapped up in my own .

You have a choice to make, as a person who has a platform, when you speak.

I’m much more aware today than I was yesterday, and I’m conscious of the things that I say.
