Kevin Hart Defends His Friendship With Justin Bieber: ‘He’s a Great Guy’

Kevin Hart sat down with Howard Stern on Tuesday and opened up about everything from his upcoming wedding to Eniko Parrish to his unlikely friendship with Justin Bieber.

“We’re friends. It’s not a fictional thing,” the 36-year-old comedian admitted to Stern. “Bieber is a great guy. Here’s what I’ll say about Biebs that nobody realizes. You cannot throw that type of success and money at a person at that young age and expect them to survive it free and clear. They are going to make mistakes.”

The two are so tight that Hart has even invited the pop star to his August nuptials, but he won’t be standing as the Ride Along 2 star’s best man. That job is reserved for his son. “My son’s not famous, but he’s my best friend at the age of 8,” Hart said. “That’s my guy, man.”
