Kevin Hart surprises frontline doctor who won his All In Challenge with role in his next movie: ‘I’m about to make you a star’
Kevin Hart was among the star-studded list of celebrities who signed-on to take part in the All In Challenge, a massive fundraiser to help feed Americans affected by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
And on Thursday, nearly two weeks after Hart’s auction ended, the comedian surprised the winner of his auction with a walk-on role in his next movie.
Winner Henry Law was equally excited to learn of the news. What’s more, it turns out Law is an anesthesiologist who’s been on the frontlines of the COVID-19 battle.

What’s more: Law’s from Philadelphia and he’s a big Philadelphia 76’ers fan, just like Hart.
‘Henry, you will be in my next movie. Let me repeat, you will be in my next movie,’ an enthusiastic Hart said when he jumped into the call.
‘I’m so excited man. I’m so excited to meet you,’ an equally excited Law said.
‘I don’t know if you heard: I live in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. My home city is Philadelphia. I go to Sixers games and see you at the courtside seats.’
Hart, 40, shared that he was happy to deliver the good news that benefits such a good cause.
‘I’m a man of my word and that I’m about to make you a star, ooooh,’ the comedian yelled into the camera in his trademark delivery.
Making a difference: Hart, 40, offered a walk-on role, with a speaking line, in his next movie for his All In Challenge auction

From the driver’s seat in his car, Hart proceeded to roll off many of the perks Law will get to enjoy with his role that includes an actual speaking line in the movie, as well as a trailer, car service and five-star hotel.
During the friendly exchange, Hart said he could be the next Lenny Bruce, Denzel Washington or Macaulay Culkin.
‘I’d love to be the next Ken Jeong,’ he shot back with excitement and laughter, which would fall more in line with Law’s back-story. Jeong actually made the transition from being a medical doctor to comedian/actor in the 1990s, which resulted in him landing parts in hit films such as Knocked Up and The Hangover.
Hart went on to thank Law for participating in the All In Challenge.
‘Look this makes us friends. I can’t wait,’ Hart said with his infectious smile still beaming.
Inspiration: During their enthusiastic exchange, Law said he’d ‘love to be the next Ken Jeong,’ in reference to the actor/comedian who made the transition from medical doctor to acting
