Comedian, actor, influencer, wellness entrepreneur, and VitaHustle owner Kevin Hart is featured in the current issue of Menβs Health magazine
The latest issue of Menβs Health magazine features a cover story on comedian/actor/entrepreneur Kevin Hart. In the story, the A-list celebrity, and master of the unending slash-line descriptors that mark his incredible career success, candidly describes his physical and mental journey back from the devastation of a nearly deadly car accident he suffered last year.
This isnβt the first time that Hart has graced the cover of the industry-leading newsstand magazine, which has featured the likes of President Barack Obama, WWE and big-screen sensation Dwayne βThe Rockβ Johnson, and NFL superstar Tom Brady. This interview is different, though. Hart seems to hold nothing back as he describes the enormous impact the crash had on his health, confidence, and family. Deep and introspective, the entertainer describes why he doesn't like the experience to be called βa comebackβ since that implies a return to form.
βItβs a resurrection,β Hart tells the writer. βThatβs the best way for me to put it. I feel like the other version of myself died in that moment and this new version was born to understand and to do better.β
One look at the wreckage of Hartβs 1970 Plymouth Barracuda is enough to convince anyone that heβs not engaging in self-aggrandizement. The vintage muscle car looks like a giant juiced it like an orange. Itβs astounding that he survived the ordeal, much less that heβs doing a grueling HIIT workout in his home gym just four months later.
Hartβs speedy recovery is partly due to a turbo-charged work ethic, something that has defined his professional career as well. In every aspect of his life, Hart is all about the hustle. At one point, Hart is getting a post-workout massage and body work done by Pat Khaziran, a doctor of orthopedics and chiropractor who has worked on the NFLβs Odell Beckham Jr. and Julio Jones. Itβs clear that even among the world-class athletes Dr. Khaziran has worked with, Hartβs drive is second to none.
βWhen we first started, I told Kev we should go three or four days a week, but he said he wanted to go seven and then go twice a day. I had to convince him that rest is part of the rehab.β

The majority of the interview was conducted in Hartβs home gym, with sweat pouring and endorphins flowing. Any trainer will tell you that this is an environment when surprising truths flow from their clientβs mouths. Hart is no different. When he speaks about the crash, his recovery, and the physical and mental fallout, his reflections feel genuine and unvarnished, free of the careful crafting and artifice that is the product of celebrity PR machines.
βIt all boiled down to four walls. And in the space of those four walls was my wife and my brother, my kids and my friends, all on rotation. And I got a chance to think about what matters, and itβs not fame. Itβs not money. Itβs not jewelry, cars, or watches. What matters are relationships. You know, the people that were helping me get up and out of the bed.
The biggest realization came from something somebody told me: You canβt be married to your career and date your family.β
