Kevin Hart, actor and comedian, soon will be an author with a stirring story to tell.
Hart will publish a memoir around Father’s Day in 2017, the Atria Publishing Group announced Wednesday.
Dawn Davis, vice president and publisher, describedFrom the Hart in a press release as “an anecdote-filled, inspirational memoir” that will be published under the 37 Ink imprint.
The book will examine how Hart has used the obstacles and setbacks he’s experienced in his life — ranging from growing up with an addicted father to failing miserably at his first gigs — to fuel his drive to succeed.
Hart had a more succinct and funny description.
“My kids know I’m a big deal. They’re very aware. I let them know every day, I say, ‘Look, daddy’s a big deal.’ Now I’ll have a book out to prove it,” he said in a statement.
Davis said she’s been watching Hart’s star rise ever since he stole the show in Think Like a Man. Hart’s current What Now comedy show has been a resounding success, grossing over $100 million worldwide.
“He not only has a comedic sensibility that is perfectly-pitched for our time, he has a bounty of stories from his life that are wise, funny, and entertaining,” Davis said.
Hart has been everywhere recently, including presenting at the Oscars. His recent movie projects include Ride Along 2; The Wedding Ringer, with Josh Gad; and Get Hard, with Will Ferrell, and he will appear in the action comedy Central Intelligence, with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, opens on June 17.
Hart also is the executive-producers of BET reality show Real Husbands of Hollywood,which premiered its third season in September.
