Kevin Hart Follows in Hero Eddie Murphy's Footsteps with The Secret Life of Pets 2

-Let's talk about this movie, "The Secret Life of Pets 2." -So excited. -I loved the first one. I went to see it with my kids. And this one is just as good, if not better, than the first one, probably because there's more you in this one. -Well, yeah, of course. I mean, look, we said, "We got to add some more Snowball," and that's why I said, "I'm in." First of all, this is an amazing opportunity that I do not take for granted. I mean, when I look at, like, what my comedy hero has done -- You kn

ow, I'm one of the biggest Eddie Murphy fans to be on this Earth. I love Eddie Murphy. Love everything about him. -Sorry. I thought you were going to say me. -What? -It's all right. No big deal. All right. Yeah, you just started off and you kind of looked at me a little bit and then you went off to Eddie Murphy. -Well, your face is in the camera eyeline. That's why you probably thought that. -Yeah, 'cause you were saying your comedy idols, and I go, "Oh, this is going to be -- I'm probably gonna

get a little emotional here." And then you didn't say my name at all. -Okay. Well, I'm glad that you didn't react like I was going to, 'cause I wasn't. I was saying Eddie. Eddie Murphy is where I was going, okay? -I can see, in the back of your head, you're still thinking about me a little bit. -No, no. -Yeah, it's okay. -No, I'm really not. It's like the furthest -- -It's all right, though. -Yeah, but -- -It's okay. -Yeah, it's cool. Whatever. Agree to disagree. [ Imitates Eddie Murphy's laugh

] -That's how I laugh. -That's not your laugh. -That's how I laugh. -That's not. -[ Imitates Eddie Murphy's laugh ] Come on. Just like me a little bit. You're so funny in this. My kids were going nuts. They loved you so much. -I love it. -You play this tiny, little bunny called Snowball, if you've never seen the first one. -I don't think you need to say "tiny." He's just a -- I think you can say he's just a bunny. -He's a bunny. Sorry. -Yeah, but the way you did, like, I was this big. It was li

ke, "You play this tiny, little bunny, like this big." No, it's not -- I'm a bunny. -Yeah, you're a normal-sized bunny. Sorry. -Yeah, like a regular bunny. It was just -- Yeah. You can just say "a bunny." I play a bunny. -You play a bunny. Absolutely. -Yeah, yeah. -And everyone else in the movie is a little bit larger than you are. -Well, it's just like in life. People are bigger than a bunny, but it doesn't mean a bunny is a tall bunny. Like, for a bunny, I'm a big bunny. -All right, all right,

all right. -You get what I'm saying? -Issues. Somebody call his therapist. So, but what happens with this one is -- you're now -- You're owned by somebody who's dressing the bunny up in different superhero outfits and cute things that a bunny would wear. -Yeah. -And so you actually believe that you are a superhero. -Well, I mean, if it happens enough, you start to believe it. You know, I'm now in a household. In the first one, I was a villain. And, you know, this is why the role made sense for

me, because I'm such a good bad guy. And now that I'm done being the villain, because I got love, I'm in a household with a little girl that loves to dress me up. Now, she doesn't dress me up, like, you know, in stuff that I don't like. Like, it's like -- I'm like a thug. If you really look at this, if you really look at the inside world of this, in the superhero costumes that I'm being dressed in, I believe it, and now Snowball is no longer Snowball. He's Captain Snowball, which is very realist

ic. -He has changed a little bit, but he's still got that thing in him. And, man, oh, man, it is funny. You have a great voice, buddy. You know that. But we have a clip from "The Secret Life of Pets 2." Let's take a look at this. -Listen! ♪ Black X6, Phantom ♪ ♪ White X6, panda ♪ ♪ Pockets swole, Danny ♪ ♪ Sellin' bar, candy ♪ ♪ Man, I'm the macho like Randy ♪ -Snowball, I'm back. [ Laughs ] Mm! ♪♪ ♪ Bunny, bunny, bunny, bunny ♪ -Yeah. -He still thinks he is. -Yeah. -Kevin Hart, everybody.
