When Kevin Hart visited Coronation Street

American comedian and actor, Kevin Hart, was in Manchester this week for a two-fold visit. He was promoting his new movie, Ride Alone 2 along with co-star Ice Cube and he performed at the Manchester Arena as part of his comedy stand up tour, "What Now?" He made the most of his hours in the city before heading to London where he and Ice Cube were guests on The Graham Norton Show.

That's where it came to my attention. During the show which aired last night on BBC, Graham showed a couple of photos of Kevin taken while he was in Manchester on the Coronation Street set including a photo of him behind the bar with Bev Callard who plays Liz McDonald. I took a couple of quick screen captures for proof!

Kevin visited the set of Coronation Street to promote the first Ride Alone film, back in 2014.

Graham was highly amused that he even knew about the show but the audience sounded quite delighted at the photos. 

He and "Cube" also visited Manchester City's training grounds for a kickabout and they dropped in to the debut of their movie at the city center Printworks complex.
