Kevin Hart Now

Kevin Hart was chosen to host the 91st Academy Awards ceremony (February 24, 2019). However, the comedian stepped down after controversy erupted over old tweets from 8-10 years earlier containing offensive jokes about homosexuals. Academy representatives called Kevin and asked him to apologize for his old jokes if he wanted to host the ceremony. Hart apologized (again on Twitter) but decided it would be better if he stepped down as host.
I have decided not to host the next Oscar. I do not want to attract attention that many talented artists are worthy of. My sincere apologies to LGBTQ community for my offensive words in the past.
That same year, two films featuring Kevin Hart were released. These were "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw," where Hart played Dinkley, and "Jumanji: The Next Level," in which he reprised his role as Moose Finbar.
