Kevin Hart says he had to work a little hard to get Chris Rock on board with filming their Netflix comedy special.
He added, "Chris is a little stubborn, so he wouldn't have jumped at the opportunity out of the gate. So I lied to him."
Their documentary, Kevin Hart & Chris Rock: Headliners Only, which is currently available for streaming on the platform, follows the duo's Only Headliners Allowed July 2022 tour. By delving into in-depth conversation through the film, the comedians "offer an unparalleled, behind-the-scenes look at their friendship and careers."
Hart often refers to Rock as his mentor; during the Madison Square Garden show on the tour, Hart presented the Head of State star a real-life goat as a symbol of the comedian's greatness — or one of Hart's G.O.A.T.s.
During the 2016 premiere of Hart's What Now?, he told CNN, "Chris Rock [is my mentor], one hundred percent."
He noted, "Rock's advice is always great. It's always spot-on."
