Kevin Hart

Kevin Hart has snagged the August 2015 cover of Rolling Stone. The 36-year-old comedic rock star dishes on his business (outside of comedy), racism and why he pays very little attention to reviews.

How he feels about Eddie Murphy:

Who he competes with:

Why Kevin’s company Hartbeat Digital charges studios extra for his tweets or Instagrams about movies he’s in:
