Kevin Hartis spending time with his famous pals while recovering from back surgery.
The 40-year-old actor was spotted on a night out with rapperJAY-Zand other high-rollers during a three-hour outing at Beverly Hills hotspot Avra on Monday. The group spent their time playing poker and ate before exchanging hugs on their way out.
This is the first time Hart has been seen in public since his September 1 car crash that required him to undergo surgery. Hart broke his silence on the crash and released a statement through his attorney earlier this month, mentioning Jared Black and his fianceé, Rebecca Broxterman, the two other individuals who were in the car when the accident occurred.
“I have nothing but love for Jared and wish him and Rebecca a speedy recovery,” Hart said in the statement to PEOPLE.
According to the actor’s attorney, Andrew Brettler, Hart will not fully return back to work until early 2020.
“While he’s doing a little work here and there for the film, he doesn’t expect to be fully back to work until the new year,” Brettler said.
