The bromance between Kevin Hart and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson reached a new level after the comedian shared a behind-the-scenes video from his upcoming series Die Hart. Making his mark on the world as a stand-up comic, it really shouldn't be all too surprising to hear that Hart utilizes the services of a stunt double. For the new Quibi program, seasoned stuntman Samuel Jaye Paul will be stepping in for Kevin once again after risking it all in Jumanji, Ride Along 2, and more. Showing off his body double -- who is literally a foot taller than the actor -- Kevin couldn't help but pull a dig at his good friend Dwayne Johnson.

With direction from Eric Appel, Kevin Hart seemed ready to make a leap of faith just months after his terrifying car crash in Los Angeles. "You know, the only people that they task with stunts like this are the real deal. Me, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford... that's just to name a few," joked the funnyman in the video, which was uploaded to his Instagram page. His stunt double can be seen behind him, going along with the charade.
"The rest of those guys are pussies," said Hart before calling out one man in particular. "Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson... if they only knew, right?"
While these two are great comrades, we would love to see them duke it out once and for all for a wide audience. Maybe they can be hosted at the next edition of WrestleMania?

The tragic moment was caught on video.
In dancehall, dancers often use stunts to captivate their audiences. Unfortunately, it’s reported that well-known dancer Roxanne “Bumpa” Evans lost her life while performing a stunt with one of her Gladiator Dance partners named Momo. A video of the tragedy was shared on Facebook showing the moment Bumpa reportedly lost her life.
In the video, Bumpa can be seen on her head with her legs in the air. She’s dancing upside down as she twerks and moves her legs in various positions. Urban Islandz News reports that Momo was supposed to leap over Bumpa in an acrobatic type move, but instead, Momo landed on top of her fellow dancer. The weight caused the popular dancehall dancer to break her neck.
Some reports stated that Bumpa was still alive immediately following the incident and would later lose her life at a hospital. The video shows a non-responsive Bumpa lying face down as a panicked audience tried to revive her. “I’ve seen other dancers attempt it and land on their hands, back and head and seriously injure themselves,” dancehall choreographer Stacy Xpressionz told the Jamaica Observer. “As you know, one dancer would go on their head and the other one would ‘chuck tru’ their legs and land. But what some people try to do is flick (flip) instead ’cause it’s easier. The thing is, it looks easy, but when you’re about to attempt it, you will see that it’s not really easy. You need to know the right techniques and you need a lot of space before you jump. The truth is, me and Shelly (Callum, the other co-creator) have never seen anybody execute the move properly.”
Bumpa leaves behind two sons. Out of respect for her loved ones, we aren’t going to share the video here. We hope you understand.
