Kevin Hart Calls News Outlet 'Disrespectful' After They Mistake Him For Usain Bolt

In the words of Hannah Montana, "everybody makes mistakes. Everyone has those days. Everybody knows what, what I'm talking about. Everybody gets that way."

However, when you're a large, international media outlet, people are going to call out those mistakes and sometimes those people are going to be comedian Kevin Hart.

Unfortunately, that's what happened when NBC News posted a picture of Kevin Hart while writing a news story about Olympic athlete Usain Bolt.

This is Kevin Hart:

Kevin Hart is one of the most recognizable comedians in the game right now. He is known for being hilarious, edgy and um... short.

Like, 5 foot 4 inches pretty dang short.

This is Usain Bolt:

Another super recognizable face, Usain Bolt is best known for being an Olympic gold medalist and is widely regarded as the best sprinter of all time.

Standing at a modest 6 foot 5 inches, you can say Usain is a just a touch taller than Kevin.

So when NBC News posted a picture of Kevin Hart in an article about Usain Bolt contracting COVID-19, the world was like *yikes.*

Naturally, this blunder didn't go unnoticed and Kevin Hart took to Instagram to troll the publication.

"No comment .....I must of gotten really fast & tall overnight...." Kevin wrote on Instagram with alongside a screenshot of the mistake.

He continued: "I want to take advantage of this moment & race anybody in the world,"

"We can bet whatever.... [expletive] just got real. I am also no longer doing comedy due to my Olympic training schedule....IM BACK [expletive]!!!!!!"

The comedian concluded: "P.S this is Disrespectful on so many levels....All you can do is laugh. Maybe the Covid 19 shrunk his legs & torso."
