Kevin Hart kicked off #VerizonLive, Friday July 3, 2015, in honor of the annual Essence Festival currently happening in New Orleans, LA this July 4th weekend. Hart sat down with E News! correspondent and actor Terrence J to discuss some upcoming projects and how his fans have played a role in his success.
“I now understand that the one thing that people need and that we love is laughter. That’s the one thing that puts everybody together. That’s the one thing that takes any worry away. I provide that…I’m thankful, I’m blessed, but more importantly, I’m apart of a group — the fans that are doing this with me. We’re making history together.”
“It’s not just a Kevin Hart thing.” Looking onto the audience Hart continued. “You guys have been riding with me for so long so as I grow I share the success with my fans.”
Hart also talked about working on a new action movie Dywane “The Rock” Johnson that’s currently being filmed in Boston. The comedian also jokingly bragged about all the arm muscle he’s suddenly developed from working out and dabbling in more action films.
Hart also kicked off the four day Essence Fest 2015 festivities, July 2, 2015, with material from his What Now comedy tour. The comedian’s kids, son Hendrix and daughter Heaven were also in attendance.
