Comedian Kevin Hart recently shared what he is calling “a public service announcement.” In the video, he calls himself “the stupidest man alive” and warns people who are 40 years old or older to “respect that age.”

Hart begins the video by warning his audience that “it’s bad.” Then he jumps into his PSA for those age 40+. He said, “Ladies and gentlemen, the age 40 is real. To all my men, women out there who are 40 years old and above, it’s not a game. Respect that age.”

Then Hart explained why he is ranting about the age of 40 and why it should be taken seriously. He said, “This is just a public service announcement because a know people are going to see me out, and I don’t want you to be alarmed, but I’m in a wheelchair. Why? Because I tried to jump out there and do some young stuff.”

That’s right, Hart is in a wheelchair for doing something he calls “young man stuff.” What did he do? He challenged a friend to a race, and he lost big time.

Hart explains he and former NFL player Stevan Ridley were arguing about which one of them was the fastest. Ridley knew Hart wasn’t faster than he was, but Hart insisted he could beat him in a race. So they raced.

The race was a 40-yard dash, and Hart not only lost the race but he also lost his ability to walk. In his video, Hart explained, “I tore my lower abdomen, my abductors are torn.” He admitted, “I don’t know what that is but I tore them. I tore those too. I can’t walk.”

Now Hart is calling himself “the stupidest man alive.” He said, “What are we competing for at this age? What am I doing? Why did I even race?”

Does it surprise you that Hart hurt himself in a race? If you’re over the age of 40, do you agree with Hart that it’s important to “respect that age”?
