When “The Rock” felt like Kevin Hart: A funny comparison that made social networks laugh out loud

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson – the famous action star with a muscular body and impressive height – recently made social networks “stir up” when he joked that standing next to Shaquille O’Neal made him feel like Kevin Hart. The statement seemed to be just a friendly joke, but quickly became a hot topic of discussion everywhere.

In a funny interview, The Rock recounted the moment he met the legendary former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal, who has a “huge” height of 2m39 (7 feet 10 inches). He said with laughter:

“Standing next to Shaq, I felt as small as Kevin Hart. And that was the first time I felt short!”

To better understand the humor in this quote, remember that The Rock is about 1m88 (6 feet 10 inches) tall and has a muscular body like a warrior. Meanwhile, Kevin Hart is only about 1m70 (5 feet 7 inches) tall – one of the shortest comedians in Hollywood.

Therefore, The Rock “comparing” himself with Kevin Hart has created an extremely humorous image: one of the biggest men in Hollywood feels “small” when standing next to Shaq – who is known as the “moving mountain” of the NBA.

A photo of the three of them was widely spread on social networks: Shaq is extremely tall, The Rock looks like a normal person, and Kevin Hart almost “disappears” next to them. Netizens quickly edited the photo and commented:

“Shaq is no longer a human, he is a walking building!”

“I thought The Rock was the tallest person in every frame, until Shaq walked in.”

“Kevin Hart must have felt like an ant in that photo.”

The humorous interactions between The Rock and Kevin Hart have been a “trademark” of both, especially after they collaborated in films such as Central Intelligence or Jumanji. The pair often tease each other on social media, and this time, Shaquille O’Neal seemed to accidentally become the “catalyst” for one of their most viral jokes.

Interestingly, Shaq was no less “salty” when responding on Instagram:

“The Rock, don’t be sad, I also made a bunch of NBA players feel like… Kevin Hart.”

This response made netizens even more excited. Under the post, thousands of comments poured in, most of which praised the charm and humor of all three stars.

After all, the story “The Rock feels like Kevin Hart next to Shaq” is not only a funny joke, but also shows the intimacy, comfort and natural sense of humor of Hollywood stars. Even though they are famous for their “huge” bodies and talents, they still know how to make the audience laugh with simple, adorable moments like this.
