Marcello Hernández revealed that Kevin Hart inspired him in many ways.

According to People Magazine, the Saturday Night star humorously remarked that Kevin Hart taught him more than just acting: “[Hart] taught me a lot of stuff, you know what I mean? He taught me how to deal with back pain, how to deal with sciatica, I believe is what he has.”

Recalling his experience working with Hart on 72 Hours, “Also, Kevin, it’s stairs — he taught me that stairs become a challenge as you get older. So I got a new respect for stairs.”

Beyond the humor, he acknowledged, “Made me grateful for my youth. Just getting to see him work, he’s a true pro."

“It was a blessing also to see him work, on a more serious note," he added.

The outlet revealed that the comedy film was shot in Miami, Marcello’s birthplace, which made the experience even more special. “It was a lot of work, but I got to stay with my mom and I love spending time with my family,” Hernández said. “So to be close to them while I’m shooting something was a blessing.”

For those unaware, the movie 72 Hours is currently streaming on Netflix, featuring a star-studded cast: Kevin Hart as Joe Marcello, Hernández as Nick Mason Gooding as Mason, and Kam Patterson as Freshman, along with several others.
