Kevin Hart, the 40-year-old comedian, actor, and producer, shared an emotional and inspiring story about how the recovery process after the car accident has changed him.
In the video, Hart can be seen getting up from his hospital bed with the assistance of two nurses and a walker.
The video shows footage of his physical rehabilitation process. While recovering physically, Hart narrates his reflection on the value of his life, family, and friends.
“When God talks, you gotta listen. I swear, life is funny. Because some of the craziest things that happen to you end up being the things that you needed the most. And in this case, I honestly feel like God basically told me to sit down. When you’re moving too fast and doing too much, sometimes you can’t see the things that you’re meant to see. But after my accident I see things differently, I see life from a whole new perspective,” Hart said in the video.
“My appreciation for life is through the roof,” he added.
Hart is shown with his wife, his children, and his friends, sincerely expressing his gratitude toward the people around him.
“My fans, I’m thankful for all of your love and support,” Hart said.
“More importantly, I’m thankful for God,” Hart continued. “I’m thankful for life. I’m thankful for simply still being here.”
“Don’t take today for granted because tomorrow is not promised,” reflected Hart.
The end of the video shows footage of a doctor who told Hart that it could take a year for him to make a full recovery.
A poised Hart responds to the doctor, “I’m not in a rush,” and reflected in the video narration how he is grateful for still being here.
“Basically what you realize is that you’re not in control,“ Hart said. ”No matter how much you think you’re in control, you’re not in control. At the end of the day, it can all be over.”
“While he’s doing a little work here and there for the film, he doesn’t expect to be fully back to work until the new year,” Brettler told EW.
