Marcello Hernandez Trolls Kevin Hart With Height-Adjusted Tribute

In a post shared with his 4.1 million followers on July 24, Hernandez praised Hart for his humility and mentorship during their time on set. However, the accompanying carousel of behind-the-scenes photos told a different story. With every swipe through the gallery, Hart appeared progressively smaller, a digital manipulation that did not go unnoticed by the audience or the actor himself. Hart responded to the prank with a mock-outraged comment asking why he had been shrunk, punctuating his frustration with laughing emojis.

This lighthearted jab is part of a broader rapport between the two stars. During recent press tours, Hernandez has frequently teased Hart, joking about the veteran actor’s age and his struggles with physical challenges like stairs. The dynamic extended to public events, where Hernandez famously stood on a riser behind Hart during a New York screening to further emphasize their height difference. While the film 72 Hours has faced a polarized reception from critics, currently holding a 14 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the chemistry between the cast remains a focal point. Hart, who stands roughly 5 feet 5 inches, noted that working with younger co-stars like Hernandez has been a refreshing experience, claiming he felt cooler and more energized by the younger generation's innovative approach to the entertainment industry.
