Less than a week after Kevin Hart announced the birth of his baby boy, Kenzo, with wife Eniko Parrish, the actor took a break from daddy duties in order to promote his new movie, “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.”

On Monday, the comedian tweeted that he has landed in a tropical location to do press for his upcoming movie. “Just touched down in Hawaii people....So excited to be doing promo with the entire cast of Jumanji. This is going to be fun #Jumanji #HittingTheatersDec21st,” he wrote.

The film, which stars Hart, Dwayne Johnson, Karen Gillan and Jack Black, follows four teens who are sucked into the world of Jumanji, which has now been upgraded to a video game. The teens become their adult avatars and must win the game before they are stuck there forever.

Hart’s trip to Hawaii comes a few days after he and Parrish announced the arrival of their baby boy.

“Thank you all for your warm wishes and prayers. God sent us a healthy and happy prince just in time for Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for this holiday season. Let the adventure into mommyhood begin,” Parrish wrote on Instagram Wednesday.

The “Ride Along” star also expressed his excitement over his son’s arrival and praised Parrish for her strength during the birthing process. “I’m lucky to have you in my life and even luckier to call you my wife...I love you woman #ForeverMyRib,” he wrote.

Even though Hart seems thrilled about the newest addition to his family, he is still very focused on his career. Not long after tweeting about his press obligations, the star revealed that he will soon announce new dates for his “Irresponsible” tour.

During his sets on tour, the comedian plans to address his cheating scandal, which garnered plenty of media attention in September. During that time, someone attempted to extort Hart out of millions of dollars after obtaining sexually suggestive footage of the comedian and a female named Montia Sabbag.

Hart has since reached out to authorities to investigate the extortion and has apologized to his family for his indiscretion.

“Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” is expected to hit theaters on Dec. 20.
