Kevin Hart says he and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson have "great chemistry" in their movie 'Central Intelligence'.
The two actors star in the upcoming comedy action film which sees Johnson play a CIA agent returning home for his high school reunion and Hart as an accountant who gets caught up in his secret mission.
Hart admits shooting the movie was a blast because he and the part-time WWE Superstar got on so well on set.
Speaking about 'Central Intelligence', the 36-year-old comic star - who can currently be seen in 'Ride Along 2' with Ice Cube - said: "What's so amazing is mine and DJ's chemistry - it's a pairing that makes sense once you see it. I'm lucky, I keep getting great, great co-stars that only elevate projects. Me and Cube have done special things; me and DJ will do special things."
Although Hart is carving out a reputation for himself as the go-to guy for action comedies, he is currently making his first animated movie.
The Hollywood funnyman voices the character of Snowball in 'The Secret Life of Pets' and he can't wait for it to come out so his kids, Heaven and Hendrix, can see it.
Hart - who had his children with ex-wife Torrei Hart and is currently engaged to model Eniko Parrish - told the Metro newspaper: "I'm doing 'The Secret Life of Pets' next. That's my first animated movie - I play an angry bunny."
'Central Intelligence' is due to hit cinemas in June.

Zack Snyder introduced Doomsday into 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' because he needed an "unstoppable force" to battle his superheroes.
The director scoured the supervillains of the DC Comics universe to find a foe worthy to battle the combined might of Batman, Superman and also Wonder Woman and he settled on Doomsday - a deadly monster born from the depths of ancient Krypton, the Man of Steel's home planet.
Snyder said: "To go up against heroes like Batman and Superman, we wanted to introduce one of the DC Universe's most iconic and powerful villains. He is essentially an unstoppable force. He poses a real threat to the world within the film."
It is clear from the 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' trailers that evil Lex Luthor - played by Jesse Eisenberg - has a big hand in the arrival of Doomsday, and the filmmaker has also confirmed that Lex
is the reason for the appearance of Diana Prince, the secret alter ego of Wonder Woman.
He added to Empire magazine: "You learn pretty early on that Lex is interested in metahuman existence, and that there might be some relationship between that investigation and the appearance of Diana Prince."
'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' will see the two iconic superheroes, who are played by Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill respectively, battle each other initially before teaming up with Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) to save the world from being destroyed by Doomsday.
Jason Momoa will also feature as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash Barry Allen and Ray Fisher as Victor Stone aka Cyborg.

Kristen Stewart has urged those worried about gender equality in Hollywood to "go do something" about it.
The 'Twilight' star finds constant talking about the concept "boring" and would rather someone just be done about it.
She told Variety: "Instead of sitting around and complaining about that, do something. Go write something, go do something.
"And that's easy to say. Like, f**k, it's hard to get movies made. It's a huge luxury. Who gets to just make movies? But that subject is just so prevalently everywhere right now, and it's boring."
Meanwhile, the 25-year-old actress previously revealed she is a "lot happier" now because she can be herself.
She said: "I'm a lot happier and I'm feeling really good. I feel I can be myself more and now allow myself to get sidetracked by other considerations or advice from people.
"Earlier in my career I had too many people telling me what I should be doing and it was hard for me to deal with all that. That was very confusing because I've always been the type of person who likes t do her own thing.
"But when your career reaches a certain level, there are so many responsibilities that come with that and sometimes you feel your life is not your own any more. That's why I decided to change a lot of things about how I was working and try to be true to myself."

Leonardo DiCaprio thinks appearing in 'Titanic' has affected his personal life.
The 41-year-old actor - who has dated a string of beauties, including Kelly Rohrbach, Toni Garrn, Gisele Bundchen and Bar Refaeli - shot to global fame following his lead role in the 1997 movie and still feels uneasy having so much attention on him.
He said: "It was a surreal point in my life. You become this sort of independent actor and then you are in this one film that for whatever reason connects with people on a worldwide level.
"And you are at this really young age and you don't know how to react to it. My immediate reaction was to stop everything and take a break and let it settle down.
"But it has affected my personal life ever since. I don't think you ever get used to the type of attention certainly the media has on you."
Leonardo faced gruelling conditions working on his latest movie 'The Revenant' and admits it was just as tough shooting 'Titanic', albeit a very different experience.
He told Empire magazine: "They are pretty neck and neck. I couldn't choose between them. They are apples and oranges though, one had a lot of stages, the other was in nature.
"But the film time was equivalent ... Let's put it this way, they were both difficult for different reasons. Although both had cold water."

The third instalment of 'Thor' will have a "fresh style of humour".
Taika Waititi, who is directing 'Thor: Ragnarok', is planning to shake up the movie - which stars Chris Hemsworth in the titular role - and bring his own spin to the action film.
He said: "My strength in this is bringing my style of humour, which is probably a very different style of humour.
"They've had good jokes in them before, but I think where I come from is maybe a fresher style. It could just shake the entire thing up a bit."
The 40-year-old filmmaker also admits he feels as though he is "the new kid in class" in the Marvel world.
He shared: "I'm like the new kid in class. They're really cool people. I've already made some great friends, and everyone wants to make the best story possible ...
"[It's] more collaborative than I think people probably expect. It's not just one person ordering everyone around. It's people discussing and saying, 'What if it was like this' or 'I don't think it should be like that', which is very healthy. And it's actually what I'm used to, coming from theatre and co-ops and collaborating."
When asked for any hints about the film's storyline, he added to CNET: "No, because I don't even know. We're still figuring out what characters are in it and how they all interact. We're very early on in prep, storylining, figuring it all out."

Chloe Grace Moretz thinks 'The Little Mermaid' live-action remake is "pioneering".
The 18-year-old actress is starring in the lead role in the movie but is a little unsure how they plan to master the underwater speaking scenes.
She told Us Weekly magazine: "It's live-action, and we're going to have full speaking scenes underwater.
"We've never seen that before, so it's going to be pioneering. It's such an iconic story that I'm happy to retell."
Meanwhile, Chloe previously teased the film would be "really different" to the Disney animated movie.
She added: "I'm excited to depict a story that people haven't really seen before. A lot of the other fairytales - we've seen them in live action, and created as a musical. I think it's going to be really different to see the Little Mermaid on screen [because] we're going to show the story that we really want to show - which is not the Disney one.
"It's the Hans Christian Andersen story. And it's going to be darker, and it's a little bit more interesting, and it's definitely more naturalistic ... I want to show a character that young girls can look up to, and fall in love with and be proud of. And to see the side of the Little Mermaid that we already know - which is great - but also more modern, which it needed to be."

Dakota Johnson and Matthias Schoenaerts are to star in 'The Sound of Metal'.
The two actors are reuniting on screen for a second time for the drama after they both appeared in Italian-French erotic thriller 'A Bigger Splash', which was directed by Luca Guadagnino.
'The Sound of Metal' is being helmed by Darius Marder, whose previous work has included directing the 2008 World War II treasure-hunting documentary 'Loot' and co-writing 'The Place Beyond The Pines'.
The movie will see Matthias play a heavy metal drummer who is facing up to the reality he is going deaf, while Dakota will portray the singer in his band.
The 'Fifty Shades of Grey' star is rumoured to have already started vocal coaching ahead of shooting, which is tentatively scheduled to begin in August.
Dakota - who can next be seen in romantic comedy 'How to Be Single' - recently revealed the influence her acting parents, Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, have had on her career.
The 26-year-old actress said: "My childhood I spent outdoors riding horses. It's the most comfortable place for me. I grew up travelling. I grew up on sets. I grew up going to new places. And I like it all ... Sometimes I talk to my parents about work. I keep it separate but I want them to see 'Black Mass'."

'Labyrinth' screenwriter Nicole Perlman felt she was being "punched in the gut" when she read rumours the movie could be remade.
The 'Guardians of the Galaxy' scribe insists the timing of the speculation was "awful" as it came just a few weeks after the 1986 movie's main star David Bowie, who plays the Goblin King, passed away after losing his battle with cancer aged 69.
She said: "All I can say is that the timing for the story was awful; it felt like a punch in the gut".
Nicole admitted she had been in discussions with the Jim Henson Company - founded by Jim Henson, who directed the original movie - about a project over a year ago but couldn't discuss anything further.
She added to Guardian Australia: "Bowie's music helped me through some of the hardest times of my life. I respect him as a musician, an actor, an icon and, most importantly, as a human being. It would have been a dream come true, to write something for him."
Nicole also took to her Twitter account to say "no one" is remaking the classic motion picture.
She tweeted: "Guys, please don't fall for all the clickbait. No one is remaking "Labyrinth." That movie is perfect as it is.
"Labyrinth is my favorite film from childhood, so I share your concerns that any continuation of the world be handled with love and respect.
"Henson Co & I started talking in late 2014, so the timing of these rumors is so upsetting. I would never seek to profit from Bowie's death.
"Not "rebooting" anything, guys. (sic)"
The movie sees a young Jennifer Connelly play teenager Sarah who has to try to solve a labyrinth and rescue her baby brother after the evil Goblin King granted a wish to take him away from her.
