In a recent podcast, theMe Timeactor delved deep into the matter and gave the audience an intimate perspective, revealing how the 2019 incident had made a huge impact on his conscience and awareness, especially concerning the topic of fame. Additionally, Hart explained how the aftermath of the crash led him to value the life he has been given.
Kevin Hart Revealed The Reality Surrounding Fame
Conversing with Jay Shetty on his podcast,Kevin Hartrevealed that the answer to the question of, “What’s the biggest drug in life?” does not refer to the most obvious conclusions one may draw. He goes on to elaborate that the biggest drug is, in fact, fame and the repercussions of having it in the palm of your hands. The eminent personality stated that fame can be the most“powerful drug”; one that makes you feel invincible and omnipotent.
Following was the actor’s statement:
“The biggest drug, it’s not cocaine, it’s not heroin, it’s not molly or opioids. The biggest drug is fame. And the reason why it’s the biggest drug … it makes you feel like you are powerful and like everywhere you go, anything you want, everything you want.”
Hart went on to say that the consequences attached to fame, which if not handled properly, can be severe — especially if it’s suddenly removed.“Nobody prepares you for the world of fame,”said the Hollywood star, emphasizing that there’s no written guideline or handbook which would help people to navigate the realm of fame.
The comedian also wondered about the strange nature of fame; yesterday you didn’t have it, the next day you do. This fickle and unpredictable nature of notability and reputation, to Hart, has always been“the point of no return.”

How The Accident Changed Kevin Hart’s Perspective
On the topic of his near-fatal car accident, Hart admitted,“I really almost died.”He went on to explain that the incident shaped his stance on fame, allowing him to sort his priorities out and get his“responsibilities in order.”
Delving deeper into the reality of the crash and how unforeseeable and erratic the experience was, Hart had the following to say:
“I didn’t even have everything dialed up for if said thing were to happen. I’m out here, I’m just roaming. I’m out here aimlessly living and I’m moving so fast. I’ve yet to grasp the true concept and reality of responsibility.”
This, to him, was a“humbling”event that allowed him to observe his popularity and eminence from a different lens. It enabled him to prioritize his family alongside work. While the responsibility of balancing the need to work and spending time with his loved ones has led to several contradictions, the actor still tries his best to“change”every day.
The 2019 incident enabled the Hollywood icon to question what matters in life.“Fame is great, the lights are great,”he acknowledged. However, upon recalling his hospital stay and the“humbling”quiet room where he was surrounded by friends and family, Hart realized that there’s more to life than just fame.
This is the point in time that marked a change in the comedian’s mindset, empowering him to bask in the glory of gratitude.

Kevin Hart On Appreciating Life
The actuality of the catastrophe allowed Hart to be thankful for the life he has been given. Hart told Shetty that it’s only when the things we don’t“think twice about”are compromised, that people can truly appreciate life and the gifts it has to offer. Furthermore, expressing his gratitude for God, theMe Timeactor had the following to say:
“I believe in God. I’m not as spiritual as some may be, but, very thankful for the life that God has allowed me to live and the opportunities that I’ve been able to embark upon. But, I’ve got a lot more appreciation after life was almost gone.”
The actor emphasized that not many appreciate the simple joys of life; not many are appreciative of their“fingers, their movement, joints, vision, smell.”Hart affirmed that these are the things in life that really make all the difference, that allow people to realize how fortunate they are.
From such statements, it is unmistakably apparent that the near-death experience that Hart had to go through helped shape his mindset, allowing him to get his priorities straight. While fame, as the drug he claims to be, is important, the life that we have been given and the loved ones that cherish us take immense precedence.
Kevin Hart, who is better than ever, is currently touring internationally for his tour titled“Reality Check.”
