5’2″ Kevin Hart’s Challenge for Michael Phelps Leaves Black Panther Fame Amazed: “Thought That Was Gonna Go Differently”

It all started in 2021 during the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics 2020 when Kevin Hart and Snoop Dogg had swimming legend Michael Phelps on their segment. Hart tried to impress Phelps with his swimming skills then, but was caught using unfair means. Two years later, Kevin Hart finally shows his butterfly prowess, and the world, including Michael Phelps, took notice. Another known celebrity who was impressed by Hart’s magnificent flow in the water is the villain of Black Panther, the Kilmonger star.

Michael B Jordan, known for his movies like Black Panther, Wakanda Forever, and Creed franchise, has now joined in on the Hart vs Phelps challenge that’s been thrown around. He was quite happy with what Hart did, despite expecting otherwise.

Kevin Hart’s swimming skillset now has a new admirer besides Michael Phelps

Kevin Hart posted a video on his Instagram, showing his butterfly swimming skills to Michael Phelps. The 5’2″ comedian-actor called out the 6’4″ Baltimore Bullet and this time, he was open for a real showdown. Hart wrote in the caption, “This message is for you @m_phelps00 …..I’m on yo ass and I’m coming for all of those gold medals. Give me a 2 lap head start and I will kick yo ass man!!!!!” 

Despite the anger-fueled rant and open challenge to possibly the greatest swimmer in the world, it was all part of Kevin Hart’s manner of humor. The last line, in particular, is sarcastic enough to reveal his intended humor. Now, Michael B Jordan has commented, “Impressed..really..thought that was gonna go differently”.

Jordan, who is known for his training regime and impeccable physique, often displayed in his roles, also weighed in on the skillset required to swim. The Just Mercy star also relies on swimming, besides his intense workout, to always be in shape.

How swimming played a major part in Michael B Jordan’s physique build

As per a Men’a Health magazine, Michael B Jordan does regular laps in his swimming pool, where he also takes his dumbbells. The star also once spoke about all the injuries he has sustained over the years doing stunts, action sequences, or even during intense training for movies. Being in the water, swimming makes his joints comfortable and eases the pain from his injuries. The pressure on various body parts that are worked up, gets taken away by the water resistance.

Therefore, it is assumable that the 38-year-old star knows a good swim when he sees one. Hence, the impression that Kevin Hart left on everyone with his swimming is a hundred percent original and authentic. What’s left to see is how Jordan reacts when and if Hart actually races Phelps.
