I know all you 20-somethings can’t wait to get out and party the weekend away. But at some point, you’ll grow tired of all the club life trappings and long for quiet nights at home with your favorite takeout and comfortable clothes.
When those days come, the last thing you want to deal with is noisy clubs, overpriced drinks and obnoxious people. Kevin Hart recently found himself in a situation where he was stuck at the club while dreaming of a simpler, quieter night. Unfortunately for the superstar, his reaction went viral.
Latto posted a clip of herself in the club, having the time of her life with Usher and Hart, but the “Ride Along” star’s lack of enthusiasm caught everyone’s attention. Everything about his face and body language says “I’d rather be anywhere else but here.” The video quickly swept through the internet, with the whole world getting their jokes off about Kevin.
One person replied with a clip of the Philadelphia native and a caption reading, “ Me when my social battery is tapped.”
Another user got inside the “Night School” actor’s head, writing, “Kevin looking like why the f**k am I here.”
“Kevin can’t remember why he is there,” wrote one user who understands Hart’s pain.
The actor/comedian addressed the clip, telling Complex that what we saw “was a real moment.” Apparently, Usher told Kevin they were “going to a little lounge atmosphere,” but it ended up being a club.
“What you saw was just somebody who has the days of nightlife and partying at that scale, and I was ready to go home,” he said. “I was ready to take my ass home.”
“And it’s nothing against the club, by the way. I want to make that very clear,” Hart continued. “I think the energy in the club is great, and there’s a time, there’s a place where maybe I can enjoy that or maybe I partake in that…but it’s not a recurring thing for me. Not at this point in my life.”
The “Fight Night” star also has a very real reason why he doesn’t hit the club scene anymore. And honestly, perhaps more men should take this approach.
“My fear is just looking like the old guy in the club,” he said. “I never want people to look up and go, ‘Why is he here?’ That to me, that’s aggressive. ‘Oh God, you see Kevin over there in the corner? Why is he here? It’s 21, 22 night. Why did he come?’ Bumping into my kids’ friends from school, that’s just aggressive. I don’t need those problems. I’ll take my ass home and be happy.”
We’ve all been in Hart’s shoes, where you’re stuck at a party and all you want to do is go home. Frankly, most of us are lucky that we don’t have cameras keeping track of our movements.
By the way, be glad you’re not a woman who has to deal with a packed club that only has two bathroom stalls. That will definitely put a sour look on your face.
