Kevin Hart Starts Filming First Movie After His Accident Last Year

Kevin Hart arrives to start filming his first movie since his car accident in September of 2019, which left the actor with serious back injuries. Actor and comedian Kevin Hart arrived on set to commence filming on a new project, five months after surviving a near-catastrophic car accident. The stand-up got his first big break from Judd Apatow in 2001 on the often-forgotten TV series Undeclared. Since then, he’s starred in major blockbusters (and their sequels) like Ride Along, Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle, and the animated hit The Secret Life of Pets. His return to filming comes on the heels of multiple announcements for future projects, such as a third Ride Along, two new TV series, and a remake of the 1988 comedy The Great Outdoors. However, the actor nearly lost everything on the morning of September 1st, 2019, when a Plymouth Barracuda carrying Hart and two others flipped off Mullholland Highway in Los Angeles rolled down an embankment and landed on its roof. The top of the vehicle was nearly destroyed on impact, according to video the actor later shared.  Although Hart was not driving the car, he still suffered from “major back injuries,” requiring months of physical rehab.
