Earlier this month, Men’s Health interviewed Hart on his experience recovering from the crash. During the interview Hart said:
“The hardest part is slowing down and being patient. I’m telling Dr. Pat and Boss that I want to do two-a-days at the gym. And they’re like, ‘Sit your stupid ass down and be patient. You gotta heal.’ I get that now.”
