In a recent Instagram post, Kevin Hart revealed that he will need to rely on a wheelchair for the near future due to tearing multiple muscles in a friendly footrace against former NFL player Stevan Ridley. The 44-year-old comedian shared how the unfortunate incident occurred after they debated over who was faster, with Hart claiming he is pretty fast while Ridley challenged him. Despite agreeing to a 40-yard dash to settle the debate, things took a turn for the worse as Hart suffered the injury while sprinting against the former professional football player.
In the most recent news, Kevin Hart, 44, revealed that he will need a wheelchair for some time due to tearing multiple muscles during a footrace with former NFL player Stevan Ridley, 34. The Die Hart actor humorously expressed his frustration, admitting that he couldn’t walk and needed to sit down after tearing muscles in his lower abdomen and abductors. Despite not knowing exactly what abductors are, Hart acknowledged that he underestimated the physical toll of his age, stating that turning 40 was indeed a reality check. Reflecting on the incident, he confessed that attempting to compete in such activities at his age was foolish and admitted to being the “dumbest man alive.” With this setback, Hart emphasized the importance of respecting one’s age and accepting limitations, especially after previously suffering injuries in a car crash in 2019. As he faces another recovery process, Hart humorously concluded his social media post by calling himself out for his reckless behavior and acknowledging the need to take a break.
The individual from Philadelphia who was behind the camera then shifted its focus to reveal that he was using a wheelchair due to his injury.
Ridley spent four seasons as a teammate of Tom Brady while playing for the New England Patriots. This photo was taken in 2013.

In a recent video, the actor from Die Hart revealed, “I injured my lower abdomen and tore my abductors. I don’t really know what that means, but yeah, I tore them.”
Hart mentioned that the regrettable situation took place following a friendly argument with Ridley about their running speed.
The actor from Ride Along and star of the film Ridley and Hart suffered injuries as a result of the incident.
Ridley, a former Louisiana State University player who was drafted by the Patriots in 2011, took to Instagram Stories to send well wishes to Kevin Hart. He referenced his ex-teammate, Tom Brady, saying he saw Brady perform well at Hart’s age and believed Hart had what it takes. “My bad Kevin Hart! Heal up and keep making us all laugh!” Ridley wrote. Hart’s post also received responses from other celebrity friends. Will Smith commented on aging, Tamar Braxton sympathized with being injured on vacation, Taraji P. Henson used emojis to convey mixed emotions, and Dwyane Wade shared his amusement with more emojis.
Many of Hart’s well-known pals shared their thoughts on the series of occurrences.
Hart’s preparation for the race came under scrutiny from several fitness influencers who shared their thoughts on what could have gone wrong. Trainer Venus Moore emphasized the importance of warming up before any physical activity and wished Hart a speedy recovery. Influencer and trainer E. Taylor jokingly warned against slacking off and emphasized the need for proper warm-up to avoid injuries.
