Hart went back and forth during the questioning process, where he denied what his true height was. First, he answered that his height was 5’4, and the lie detector picked up on it. When he was asked again, he replied 5’3.

Furthermore, even though he jokes about his height now, it took the comedian some strength and courage to reach that mindset. In his audiobook “The Decision, Overcoming Today’s BS for Tomorrow’s Success,” he talks about how he had to turn all of his attention on his craft instead of focusing on everyone.

Hart reflected on how the struggle encouraged him to become “a better version of himself.”Hence, he put in the extra work to make sure he aligned himself with the right opportunities.

HOW KEVIN HART FEELS ABOUT HIS HEIGHT

In an interview with the famous talk show host Oprah Winfrey, Hart disclosed that he had always been confident about his physical features, including his height. However, this didn’t make him immune to the bullying that ensued, regardless of his confidence. He admitted that he adopted a self-deprecating approach to preventing it.

He chose to make fun of himself before others got a chance to, and as he grew older, he kept it up. As far as he is concerned, people can only put him down if he allows it, and he addresses the topic before they get the chance to end the subject before it even begins.

In another interview where he appeared alongside Dwayne Johnson, Hart revealed some advantages to being short, including having access to good clothes, shoes that fit, and the adequate legroom he enjoys on flights.

KEVIN HART IS SHORTER THAN HIS WIFE

Hart met his wife, Eniko Parrish, while he was still married to his first wife, Torrei, in 2009. Until after the finalization of his divorce, no romance ensued between the pair. Today they live happily married to each other with their children.

Eniko is taller than her husband by several inches, which makes sense because she is a model after all. Compared to the actor, who is 1.63 meters, she is 1.71 meters tall. Regardless of the comments thrown his way about the height difference between himself and his wife, Kevin doesn’t give them any power over what he has with Eniko.
