Kevin Hart swapped the iconic Hollywood boulevard for the cobbles of Coronation Street, after dropping in for a tour of the famous soap set.
The world-famous Hollywood comedian took a break from his tour of the UK, where he is promoting his new film, Ride Along, to visit the cobbled streets of Weatherfield.
Hart, well-known for various TV and film roles including Think Like a Man, This is the End, Grudge Match, stars alongside rapper Ice Cube in his new movie.

“It was something that was great for the imagination, so I definitely had a lot of fun doing it.”
