Kevin Hart was looking a bit worse for the wear on the set of his upcoming action comedy, The Man From Toronto, on Tuesday.
The 41-year-old actor was spotted with a bloody face and shirt while filming an action sequence for the flick which is (fittingly) being filmed in Toronto, Canada.
Later, the A-lister took a break to hop on social media for a quick video thanking his Instagram fans for helping him cross the 100 million follower threshold.

On set, Kevin was dressed in character wearing a cream colored Henley, black pants and a black quilted jacket.
What would have been a trendy ensemble was marred by the fact that the top was covered in a trail of fake blood and the whole thing was pretty filthy.
In the scene, Hart was seen running out of a classic black Dodge Charger and bolting down the street as smoke billowed from the vehicle.
His on-screen wife in the movie, Jasmine Mathews, was also there. The pair were seen filming a sequence together at a train station.

The Jumanji star’s stunt double was on hand as well – which presumably means there were some action-packed shots being filmed.
Between takes, Kevin spent some time getting direction from director Patrick Hughes.
The action-comedy follows the world’s greatest assassin, known solely as The Man From Toronto, who gets mistaken for Teddy, described as ‘New York’s biggest screw-up’ at an Airbnb rental, as they’re forced to team up and save the day.
While the cast and crew was taking five from filming, Kevin took the opportunity to celebrate a big social media milestone.

He wrote on Instagram: ‘100 million followers on IG!!!! All organic….I love and appreciate you all. Your love and support means the world to me!!!!’
Along with the caption the star filmed a quick video thanking his fans still in his bloody movie makeup and holding a celebratory cupcake.
‘It’s a lot of hard work – blood, sweat and tears. My face is a representation of that,’ the comedian dead-panned to the camera.

While the actor gushed over his fans and their support he unceremoniously interrupted by a masked co-worker.

‘I don’t eat sweets so this is a waste of time,’ he quips at the end while referencing the chocolate cupcake.

The Man from Toronto stars Hart alongside actor Woody Harrelson.
The project was originally set to star Jason Statham alongside Hart, though he backed away in March just before production was shut down due to COVID-19.
Reportedly, Statham bailed over not seeing eye-to-eye with producers over the tone of the film.
