Kevin Hart Made Hilarious Response After His Photo Was Mistakenly Used For Usain Bolt

Kevin Hart made a hilarious response on social media after NBC News mistakenly used his photo for a report about Usain Bolt testing positive for coronavirus.

The 41-year-old comedian shared a screenshot of a since-deleted Facebook post from NBC News that featured his photo in one report about the Jamaican sprinter who tested positive for COVID-19. Hart said all he "could do is laugh."

"No comment....I must of gotten really fast & tall overnight....I want to take advantage of this moment & race anybody in the world," Hart wrote on Instagram.

"We can bet whatever....[explicit] just got real. I am also no longer doing comedy due to my Olympic training schedule. IM BACK BI-----!!!!!! P.S this is Disrespectful on so many levels....All you can do is laugh. Maybe the Covid 19 shrunk his legs & torso."

Several celebrities commented on Hart's post with laughing emoji.

"This legit cracked me up," Liam Ferrari commented.

"It’s crazy this [explicit] keeps happening to US. All we can do is laugh," Kenny Hamilton added.

"It’s [explicit] up. I’m glad he made it funny, but it’s still [explicit] up, let’s say it like it is," another wrote.

NBC News has already apologized to Hart in a tweet.

"Very sorry about that @KevinHart4real – bad technical glitch in how photos show up on Facebook," NBC News wrote on Twitter.

The outlet also issued an erratum at the bottom of the published article.

“CORRECTION (Aug. 25, 2020. 12:46 p.m. ET): A previous version of this article included an incorrect photo on some platforms due to a technical problem. The photo depicted actor Kevin Hart. It has been replaced with a photo of Usain Bolt,” the erratum read.

In related news, Hart is one of the few celebrities who supported Ellen DeGeneres after her show was subjected to an internal investigation for alleged toxic workplace complaints. Hart said he had nothing but positive experiences with the host.

"It’s crazy to see my friend go thru what she’s going thru publicly. I have known Ellen for years and I can honestly say that she’s one of the dopest people on the [explicit] planet," he wrote on Instagram.

Hart and DeGeneres were also spotted enjoying lunch together at Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito a few weeks ago.
