Having seemingly put the past behind him, Kevin Hart seems to have bounced back both personally and professionally following the public backlash over his past homophobic tweets that resulted in him stepping down as the host of the upcoming Oscars. In a positive turn of events, the comedian has recently landed roles in two new movies and continues to revel in the success of his latest film, The Upside, where he shares the screen with Bryan Cranston. Unsurprisingly, the 39-year-old was in good spirits as he was spotted smiling after a nice family lunch in the Woodland Hills area of Los Angeles last Sunday.
