You don’t get to become a household name, build a $200 million fortune and become a respected businessman by letting others call the shots for you. Kevin Hart likes to call himself “the hardest working man in showbiz” but, before an entertainer, he’s also a regular dad.

A rich dad, but a dad nonetheless. And that includes wondering where the time flies when his baby daughter takes him out for a ride and he realizes she’s almost grown up.

Kevin Hart, like most celebrities out there, is very active on social media. He often posts photos with his cars, which makes sense, because he’s a known car collector and just had his muscle car series, Kevin Hart’s Muscle Car Crew, premiere on the MotorTrend app on July 2. Sometimes, he posts photos with his four kids. Rarely, he posts photos with his kids and his cars.

This is one of those times. “My little girl is growing up.... #Harts,” Hart writes in the caption to a photo of himself in the passenger seat, while his 16-year-old daughter is smiling in the driver seat. She’s not looking at the camera, so she must be on the road – kudos to her for having her priorities straight.

Presumably, she’s driving the Mercedes-Benz GLA Hart bought Heaven back in March, as a gift for her 16th birthday, and presented to her outside her mother’s house, giant red bow on and everything. Hart didn’t post about the party or the present on his own social media.

That Kevin Hart, multi-millionaire, car enthusiast and Hollywood’s most recognizable funnyman, is also a regular family man behind closed door is not some kind of earth-shattering discovery. Neither is it surprising, so this isn’t about that. But it is refreshing to see a celebrity like Hart still be relatable – and that’s part of his appeal with worldwide audiences. He could be any dad, either panicking in the passenger seat because the teen doing the driving truly sucks at it, or the opposite: the dad glowing with pride at how well his offspring handles themselves.
