In the words of Hannah Montana, “everybody makes mistakes. Everyone has those days. Everybody knows what, what I’m talking about . Everybody gets that way.”
However, when you’re a large, international media outlet, people are going to call out those mistakes and sometimes those people are going to be comedian Kevin Hart.
Unfortunately, that’s what happened when NBC News posted a picture of Kevin Hart while writing a news story about Olympic athlete Usain Bolt.
This is Kevin Hart:
Kevin Hart is one of the most recognizable comedians in the game right now. He is known for being hilarious, edgy and um… short.
Like, 5 foot 4 inches pretty dang short.
This is Usain Bolt:
Another super recognizable face, Usain Bolt is best known for being an Olympic gold medalist and is widely regarded as the best sprinter of all time.
Standing at a modest 6 foot 5 inches, you can say Usain is a just a touch taller than Kevin.
So when NBC News posted a picture of Kevin Hart in an article about Usain Bolt contracting COVID-19, the world was like *yikes.*
Naturally, this blunder didn’t go unnoticed and Kevin Hart took to Instagram to troll the publication.
“No comment …..I must of gotten really fast & tall overnight….” Kevin wrote on Instagram with alongside a screenshot of the mistake.
He continued: “I want to take advantage of this moment & race anybody in the world,”
“We can bet whatever…. [expletive] just got real. I am also no longer doing comedy due to my Olympic training schedule….IM BACK [expletive]!!!!!!”
The comedian concluded: “P.S this is Disrespectful on so many levels….All you can do is laugh. Maybe the Covid 19 shrunk his legs & torso.”
The comments were filled with people just as surprised and dumbfounded as Kevin.
