Popular American comedian and actor, Kevin Hart, has explained how hes been left confined to a wheelchair for a while.

His confinement followed an accident that occurred during a race with a friend, former NFL player Stevan Ridley.

In the video shared on his Instagram page on Thursday, Hart explained how his age played a significant role in his new reality.

The 44-year-old funnyman explained that he had attempted some young man stuff when he tried racing his friend, Ridley, in a 40-yard dash.

Hart added that he ended up injuring himself.

In the video captioned, 44 and sitting my ass down! I got to be the dumbest man alive!, Hart said, Ladies and gentlemen, the age 40 is real.

All my men, women out there 40 years old and above, its not a game. Respect that age.

I tore my lower abdomen, my abductors are torn. I dont know what that is but I tore them. I tore those too. I cant walk.(The PUNCH)
