Kevin Hart Great comedian, Great actor and guess what more? A great DAD

Before becoming a great comedian and before taking his friends suggestions to channel his sense of humor into a stage act, Kevin Hart worked as a shoe salesman.With little experience and lots of hope he quit his job and made stand up comedy his new career.

When Kevin hit the stage for the first time, he didn't have too much to talk about, explaining that much of his jokes were very simple "white people do this and black people do it like this".

Now, being a dad, it is easier for him because a lot of his routine comes directly from the real life challenges of being a husband and a dad to his little hearts, his daughter Heaven Lee 4 years old and his son Hendrix 2 years old.

Being a dad, had a very powerful impact on Kevin's life. "They're little now and they say the funniest things'' says Kevin, who seems inspired a lot in his stand up comedies shows by that.

Busy trying to teach his children what not to do he realizes that it's all the stuff that he was doing when he was young.Even as a young boy, Kevin says he was a funny guy. "It cracks me up that they are exact replicas of me, when i was young i was always the silly one and now i make my daughter laugh all the time,she thinks her dad is crazy" Kevin declared.

So, i guess you all imagine how is having Kevin Hart always around.Dieing laughing! What i think it is obvious is the fact that Kevin Hart is a great dad such as he is the great comedian that we all love.
