Kevin Hart Says He’s in a ‘Secret’ Action Movie Stars Group Chat with Tom Cruise, The Rock and More

Kevin Hart, the actor known for his comedic and action roles, recently revealed his involvement in a secretive chat group focused on action movies, which includes stars like Dwayne Johnson and Tom Cruise. Hart shared this insight at the premiere of his Netflix film, “Lift.”

Elite Circle of Action Movie Stars

Speaking to PEOPLE at the Lincoln Center in New York City, Hart humorously shared, “Yup! Dwayne, Mark Wahlberg, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Jet Li, Jackie Chan. All the biggest guys. We just talk about action stuff.” This disclosure highlights an unexpected network among some of the most recognizable names in the action film genre.

Hart jokingly added, “It’s a real secret chat, I shouldn’t be talking to you about this chat. I could get in a lot of trouble from the other action guys.”

Kevin Hart’s Action Star Transformation

Transitioning into an action star, Hart resonates with action movie figures like Cruise, 61, and Johnson, 51. He said, “We just share action stories; that’s the thing, when you’re an action guy, you have to have action stories, so our chat is all about ping-ponging action stories and just making sure that everyone’s in sync, you know? That’s what it’s about.”

Hart has co-starred with Johnson in several films, including “Central Intelligence” (2016), “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” (2017), and “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” (2019), but has yet to collaborate with the other stars in his mentioned group chat.

On-Set Chemistry in ‘Lift’

Regarding “Lift,” Hart spoke of the strong bond formed among the cast, featuring Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Billy Magnussen, Jacob Batalon, Jean Reno, and Sam Worthington. Hart noted the consistent engagement and the off-set dinners contributing to a deep connection within the team.

Upcoming Release of ‘Lift’

Directed by F. Gary Gray, “Lift” presents Hart as Cyrus Whitaker leading a heist to seize $500 million in gold from a passenger plane mid-flight. The film is scheduled for release on Netflix on Jan. 12.
