Various news outlets report the “Ride Along” star as standing anywhere from 5-foot-2 to 5-foot-5. But on the April 21 episode of “60 Minutes,” the comedian sat down with Anderson Cooper and answered the burning question that’s been on all of our minds, confirming once and for all that he is 5-foot-5.”
“Now if I put a boot on, I can get to 5-foot-5 and a half,” he joked.
Hart told Cooper that he has no problem making short jokes a part of his material because he’s confident about his stature and understands what the laughs are really about.
“It’s talking about the things that you aren’t afraid to laugh at about yourself,” he said. “I’m really confident that the laugh that I’m getting…you’re not laughing necessarily at me as if I’m a joke, you’re laughing at the experience,” he said.
But Hart told Cooper that there was a time when he felt like size really mattered: when he learned that his wife, Eniko had a thing for tall guys. Cooper asked Hart about a story he told about finding out that his bride of eight years – who is listed as 5-foot-6 – was into “tall people porn.”
“Yeah, he was taller than me. Yeah, ‘Why’s he so tall? Is that what you want?’ That was real. We had a real conversation off of that. ‘Is that what you looking for?’ If your search starts with tall … yeah, no, I can’t fix that. We got a problem,” Hart told Cooper.
Hart added that his feelings were less about the idea of his wife was watching porn and more about the fact that she was looking for something he just couldn’t deliver – even with a boot on.
“My pride wanted to know what she was watching. The shit that I saw, it hurt me. The reason why is because her porn search was the complete opposite of who I am. Everything I saw was big. Everything was big!” he said.
