Celebrity actor Kevin Hart recently headlined a comedy show with veteran celebrity comedian Chris Rock. He presented Chris Rock, whom he considers his mentor, with a live goat on stage at the end of the performance, with another celebrity Dave Chapelle, who was also on stage at Madison Square Garden, New York City, last weekend. Hart said that the goat’s name was Will Smith.
The farm animal was presented by the 43-year old actor to the celebrity comedian just before their show–Rock Hart: Only Headliners Allowed ended at Madison Square Garden, in NYC. When 48-year old celebrity comedy Chapelle asked Chris Rock to name the goat, Kevin Hart jumped in and joked that the goat already had a name and its name was Will Smith.
Will Smith and Chris Rock were involved in a fracas at the Oscar Awards Ceremony held this March. Chris Rock had joked about Jada Pinkett Smith’s hairstyle and a furious Will Smith went on stage and slapped the comedian for insulting Jada as she suffered from alopecia, a hair condition. Chris Rock didn’t press charges and Will Smith faces an Oscar ban for the next decade, as of now. The celebrity actor also tendered an apology to the celebrity comedian, on social media.

On Monday, Kevin Hart was on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon where he explained in detail why he had gifted his celebrity friend a goat. He said that Chris was a “mentor, friend, inspiration” and more.
He added, “Just from his advice, his insight, etc. He’s my G.O.A.T [greatest of all time], he’s my guy. And I wanted him to feel that.”
Although the 43-year old actor Hart had the best of intentions towards his celebrity mentor and friend, the goat named Will Smith didn’t seem to have as much regard for Chris Rock as it also caused some damage to him. It decided to dump on the celebrity’s comedian’s white moon boots as it left behind a present for Chris, in the form of s – – t.
Celebrity actor Kevin Hart has deep respect for his celebrity mentor. He is also a friend of the King Richard Oscar winning celebrity. He had earlier said that both Chris Rock and Will Smith were his friends and he wanted them to find a way to move past the unfortunate slapping incident.
