Kevin Hart shared this adorable photo of his younger self on Instagram which he used to lure you in before delivering a privilege checking one two punch to make you feel bad about all the stuff you had while growing up. In the caption for the photo Hart explained it was taken on his birthday though he didn't say exactly how old he was.
This picture shows you guys where I am from and what I had the 35 year old Hart wrote. It was damn near nothing but my mom did a great job of loving the sh t out of me and that made me happy
Hart then went on to describe the extent of the poverty he experienced as a child pointing out the tins of tuna and sardines behind him which were what he was raised on. Hart also recalled that his childhood bedroom was a bunk bed in a hallway. And he noted there was duct tape on the sink to keep the roaches away from the plates and the food.
This is why I will never let this business change me Hart said. I came from nothing and I'm glad because that is what made me the man that I am today
Hart has spoken about his mom Nancy before. She was a single mother who raised Kevin and his older brother Robert in Philadelphia. On an episode of Oprah Winfrey's Prime Hart recounted a story about when he'd just become a stand up and was depending on her support to pay the rent.
As he explained to Oprah he was just about to be evicted but all his mother would say when he asked for money was Have you been reading your Bible Finally Hart decided to take her advice and when he opened the Bible six rent checks fell out. I felt like the biggest jerk ever Hart told a stunned Oprah.
Hart's mother has since passed away. I love and miss you Nancy Hart....thank you for being such a amazing mother and friend and teacher he wrote on Instagram.
As for why he's not wearing any pants in the picture Hart couldn't tell you. He closed the massive caption with the hashtags iDontKnowWhyImNaked and MyDickMightHaveBeenInTheCake. When you're the birthday boy you make the rules.
