LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent appearance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon', Kevin Hart brought the house down with his signature humor and an epic announcement about his latest movie, 'Lift'.

"Um, you know, this is a movie that takes place 40,000-- Do you want to talk into this microphone?" host Jimmy Fallon playfully interrupted, prompting Hart to engage with the audience in his characteristic style.

"Uh, you know what, Jimmy? I'm glad you said that. Maybe I should," Hart responded, setting the stage for an entertaining dialogue that would have the audience in stitches.

With an added echo effect on his microphone, Hart continued, "[Echoing] Just to give you guys a better detail of the movie 'Lift.' It takes place 40,000 feet in the air."

The comedian proceeded to describe the film as a heist like no other, emphasizing the unique adventure that viewers would unknowingly sign up for. "It's one that you need to basically partake in for the simple task of the adventure that you did not know you needed," Hart declared, teasing the audience with the promise of a thrilling experience.

As the crowd erupted in laughter, Hart took a moment to express his excitement about the outstanding cast involved in the project. "It's not just me. It's an amazing cast of people. And this cast, well, they help tell the story of now," he proclaimed, building anticipation for the star-studded lineup.

Joining him on this comedic escapade were none other than action legends Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, and Jet Li. According to Hart, this elite group of action stars have their own exclusive group chat where they discuss their daring feats and experiences.

"That's my action-star group chat! Me, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Jet Li. We all talk," declared Hart, with a mischievous glint in his eye. However, host Jimmy Fallon wasn't buying into the narrative. "That's not true. What are you talking about? That is ridiculous," Fallon rebutted.

Undeterred, Hart continued to spin his tale of camaraderie among the action-star elite. "You don't have any of their phone numbers," Fallon challenged.

But Hart was quick to assert, "I have every one of their numbers! Yes, I do! Yes, I do."

Playful jabs at 'The Rock'

The banter reached its peak when Fallon playfully suggested that Hart barely had Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's number, to which Hart responded with an unexpected twist. "First of all… [Bleep] The Rock," he exclaimed, catching Fallon and the audience off guard.

Fallon, clearly taken aback, questioned the respectfulness of Hart's statement. "Oh, my -- You said that respectfully? What's respectful about that?" Fallon inquired.

Hart defended his stance, explaining, "He's not one of us. He's not one of the real action guys doing his own stunts. Me, Jackie Chan, Jet Li."

Fallon couldn't help but express disbelief at the inclusion of Jackie Chan in this exclusive group. "Jackie Chan's on this?" he questioned. Hart confidently asserted, "That's right! Me and Jackie, we do our own stunts."

He went on to share an anecdote about learning from Jackie Chan before filming, claiming that the legendary actor taught him the art of action stunts.

Fallon, still skeptical, interjected with a playful jab, "That is not 'Ugh, ahh.' He didn't tell you that." Hart, not one to back down, responded with a resounding, "Shut up, Jimmy! You don't know nothing. I apologize. I apologize."

In the end, Kevin Hart left 'The Tonight Show' audience in uproarious laughter, showcasing his comedic prowess and ability to spin a tale that kept everyone on the edge of their seats – or in this case, 40,000 feet in the air.
