Kevin Hart slams speculations about his height

Kevin Hart set the record straight on his height and laughed off the comments regarding it.

During an interview on the latest episode of 60 Minutes with Anderson Cooper, the Jumanji actor revealed his actual height.

The host recalled GQ’s statement regarding Hart’s height while other outlets put his height to be lesser, Hart laughingly said, “That place is bulls—.”

“GQ finally got it right. [I’m] 5-foot-5, like with a shoe on, like a sneaker,” the Ride Along actor said while revealing his actual height, “Now, if I put a boot on, I can get to 5'5" and a half.”

Moreover, the 44-year-old comedian has never hesitated to talk about his height. He told Cooper it's because he isn’t “afraid to laugh” at himself.

“I’m really confident that the laugh that I’m getting, you’re not laughing necessarily at me as if I’m a joke — you’re laughing at the experience,” he said. 

“I’m giving you an experience through a story that is relatable. And more importantly, I’m saying things that other people just don’t have the heart to say.”
