Comedian and actor, Kevin Hart has returned to work as he continues to recover from a horrendous car crash. Hart was left with serious back injuries and had to have emergency surgery for three fractures in his spine which needed fusion after his vintage Plymouth Barracuda careered off the road while being driven by a friend in early September. Now it’s been reported the star is slowly returning to work a couple of hours a day, as he continues extensive rehabilitation from home. The 40-year-old spent 10 days in hospital following the collision in Malibu and after taking time out of the spotlight and having his buddy Dwayne Johnson fill a few slots, he’s apparently back.
Now he is promoting his upcoming movie, ‘Jumanji: The Next Level’ which is a sequel to ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ through a marketing campaign. It’s said that the star is determined to fulfil his commitments as best he can, and was on set for two hours a day on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday last week. Sources claimed he has been spending most of his time on set sat down, as although he can walk on his own, he’s not able to put strain on his back for long periods of time.
Last month, Kevin was in his car with two other people – driver Jared Black and Jared’s fiancee Rebecca Broxterman – when the Plymouth Barracuda veered off the highway and ended up in a gully about 10 feet off the road. Both Kevin and Jared were taken to hospital after sustaining ‘major back injuries’, but Rebecca did not need medical treatment. The actor – who has Heaven, 14, and Hendrix, 11, with his ex-wife Torrei Hart and Kenzo, 22 months, with spouse Eniko – bought the car back in July as a 40th birthday gift to himself.
Kevin is now said to have a new perspective on life and really cherishes the fact that he’s alive, and wants to make the most of it in every respect, with the crash having a ‘huge impact’ on him.
