Kevin Hart Receives Mural in His Honor in Hometown of Philly

Kevin Hart was honored by the city of Philadelphia this week.

The 38-year-old actor and Philly native showed up for a ceremony presentation of a mural on the side of a famous cheesesteaks joint.

“There was a point in my life where I needed people to buy cheesesteaks for me at Max’s,” Kevin said (via CBS Philly). “And now when I go to Max’s, my face is on the side of the building. It’s unbelievable.”

“I think that this is honestly the biggest honor that I have gotten in my career to date,” he said. “I’m trying to be a representation of the positivity that can come through Philadelphia. You hear a lot about the negative but not enough about the positive.”
