In an exclusive interview, David Banner praises Kevin Hart’s work ethic while promoting the hit TV show “Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist.”

“I’ve never heard anybody say this, bro, but Kevin Hart—he works hard. I work like he works, but to see the grind he puts in and the money he’s earned, people don’t realize all the things he’s juggling,” Banner added.

“He’s on TV, has a family, is on a comedy tour, and has shows like Hart of the City. The way he works and stays in physical shape—that man gets up at 4:00 AM every morning. You’ve got to respect that.”

Banner is starring in “Fight Night” alongside Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle, Taraji P. Henson, and Terrence Howard. The high-energy series blends boxing with an elaborate heist.
