In the issue, Hart not only reveals his new buff physique, he shares a few words of wisdom about his comedy skills, stating:

“It’s about understanding your brain, you know?” he says of comedy.

“Everything you do should be about elevating your brain. It’s not about doing things just to do them. Everything should have a purpose.”

One word that will never be used to describe Hart is “pensive.” He doesn’t take his time answering a question, carefully considering his words. He just starts talking, and somehow finds his way to a point.

“If you stop, or even if you slow down, you’re going to look up and realize that somebody has passed you,” Hart says of his career philosophy, which presumably also applies to his life in general.

“And that’s my fear,” he continues. “It?s the fear of being passed or caught up to, you know? When you get hot, you can choose to stay hot or you can say, ‘I’m going to take some time off now and relax.’ I don?t see the benefit of that. That’s how you get left behind.”

Hart is riding high off of the success of his latest film, The Wedding Ringer but he’s already on to the next one! ?He’s teaming up with Will Ferrell for ‘Get Hard’, ?a movie about a hedge fund millionaire (Ferrell) who hires the man who washes his car (Hart) to help him not get raped in prison.

I always want to show that I’m going up, not down,” he says. “I’m not progressing to go backward; I’m always going forward.

Hart’s issue of Men’s Health is on stands now.
