Kevin Hart Reveals He Secretly Battled COVID-19 Back In March

tmp7cc52b39-aa29-4543-83f7-9cd1a2e2dfbc-jpg

Kevin Hart is revealing that he battled COVID-19 back in March, making a full recovery months later. Hart told guests at Dave Chappelle’s An Intimate Socially Distanced Affair show in Yellow Springs, Ohio.  Chappelle reportedly spent $100,000 on coronavirus rapid testing for the outdoor shows he held over the summer. Other performers included Questlove, Bill Burr and Michelle Wolf.

Said Hart of his diagnosis, “The problem is that I had it around the same time as Tom Hanks, and I couldn’t say anything because he’s more famous than I am.”  Hanks and wife Rita Wilson announced on Instagram in March that they’d both tested positive for COVID-19, after arriving in Australia to work on Hank’s latest movie.

Hart has been spending most of his time during quarantine at home in Los Angeles. His wife, Eniko Hart, is pregnant with their second child, due this month.

After months of uncertainty, the Tony Awards — originally scheduled for June — will take place this fall completely digitally.

We are thrilled not only to have found a way to properly celebrate our artists’ incredible achievements this season, but also to be able to uplift the entire theatre community and show the world what makes our Broadway family so special at this difficult time. The show must go on, no matter what — and it will.”
