Avengers: Endgame Star’s 59th Birthday Reignites Viral Kevin Hart Video Where He Trolled the MCU Star for Being Old
A hilarious viral clip of Kevin Hart exclaiming, “Damn!” after Don Cheadle revealed his age has resurfaced to celebrate the Avengers star’s 59th birthday. Though some mistook Hart’s reaction as an offense, the full context shows it was just good-natured banter between long-time friends.
When did Kevin Hart’s viral “Damn!” reaction happen?
The moment happened during Cheadle’s appearance on Hart’s Peacock talk show Hart to Heart in 2021. While sharing a story, Cheadle offhandedly mentioned,
“I’m 56 years old.”
Kevin Hart instantly reacted with a loud “Damn!”, leaving his guest stone-faced. Though Hart apologized, Don Cheadle remained deadpan, saying they’d “take a poll” on how Hart meant it.
In the viral portion, the two debate Hart’s exact inflection of “Damn!”, with Cheadle insisting that there were “two different ‘damns'”, suggesting one was more offensive than the other.
The full episode makes clear it was comedic banter between friends, as Hart and Cheadle kidded about Cheadle’s age showing through noises in his knees and joints. Both ultimately broke character and shared laughs.
Cheadle showed no hard feelings by tweeting after it went viral:
“Kevin Hart and I need to do a movie together asap! I think this is my favorite interview ever. ‘Damn!'”
