Kevin Hart, who is celebrated for his sharp wit and comedic brilliance, has made a career out of playfully jabbing high-profile figures. During his “Acting My Age” tour in Las Vegas, Hart shared a noteworthy backstage moment with Marcus Jordan, the son of NBA legend Michael Jordan. Given Hart’s notorious crack at Michael Jordan during a past charity event, seeing Hart and Marcus Jordan together was quite a surprise. Was Marcus there to confront Hart for mocking his famous father? Surprisingly, no!
On Sunday, Marcus Jordan posted a story on Instagram, showcasing himself having a great night in Sin City. Against the popular belief of Marcus siding with his father on Hart’s jab, the 33-year-old seemed to instead join in on the fun. This incident came to light when one of Jordan Jr.’s stories teased him attending the “Acting My Age” tour, hosted by Hart in Vegas. But this didn’t end there.
In his further updates, Marcus Jordan said, “Mr Funny Man, Mr. Eddie Murphy AKA @KEVINHART4REAL has a new joke about me. My Bro HEIRJORDAN13 & JUMPMAN23 in his new stand-up. Go see it🤣💀” playfully nudging his dad. Marcus Jordan can be seen backstage sharing a fan moment with Hart, in an unexpected meeting filled with laughter, and photographs.
Marcus Jordan even took a shot at Hart. The comedian, often trolled for his height wasn’t spared. Jordan Jr. posted another story with Hart captioned, “It’s true KEVINHART4REAL is much shorter in real life than on TV 🤣😫” said The Trophy Room founder as he towered tall next to the Jumaji actor.
Kevin Hart has recounted several times how he managed to annoy Michael Jordan. The incident took place during a charity event hosted by Jordan, where Hart, couldn’t resist taking jabs at Jordan’s fashion choices.
The Time When Kevin Hart Pissed Michael Jordan
During a charity event years ago in Las Vegas, Kevin Hart made fun of Michael Jordan, which he later shared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” While hosting the event, Hart targeted Jordan’s fashion choices, specifically his high-waisted pants. “What age do you get to where it’s okay to wear your pants that high, and nobody addresses it?” Hart asked, diverting the question to the audience.
Hart also mocked Jordan’s facial hair, which was a small, square mustache. He quipped, “He had like the little square mustache at the time, and I was like, ‘What is that? It looks like a thumbprint like you just smelled something,” joked Hart. According to him, the audience wasn’t having it, and Jordan was too. Post the event, Jordan squeezed Hart’s hand tightly, saying, “Have a good day.”
Kevin Hart relives the moment through his sets on the “Acting My Age” tour. As he nears 45, the comedian walks through instances of his middle age, one of which happens to surround the 6X NBA champion. The crowd at the charity event might not have been pleased with Hart’s remark but Marcus and the crowd at his shows sure are loving the narration.
