Why is Kevin Hart's interview with Don Cheadle going viral?
A clip from 's chat with Cheadle went viral after the comedian's awkward response when Cheadle revealed his age.
The War Machine actor was discussing generational wealth with Hart when he noted his age for context.
"And me, you know, I'm 56 years old," Cheadle told his Hart, who immediately responded, "Damn!"
The response left Cheadle frozen.

"It was just a thought, and I blurted it out," Hart said, adding: "I didn't mean it the way it came out."
Cheadle said it was "fine," but the continued.
"I can sit up here and honestly say, buddy, that that was from a place of love," Hart told his friend.
"Got it," Cheadle responded, adding: "If we could play it back right now, these are two different damns."
Hart refused to believe he used the word negatively, even when Cheadle mimicked it for him.
"That's not true. I said, 'dammit!'" Hart said, this time pretending to have said the word delicately.
The response made Cheadle laugh, adding: "Each time you've said it now, it's gotten quieter and quieter. I could barely hear you that last time when you said it."
From there, Hart pushed back, saying: "Well, that means you can barely hear the truth, so who has the problem here? Hmmm? Maybe 56 is catching up."
The comedian then dug into his guest: "56, though. Still kicking. Still walking. Knees are still working. No noise. Right?"
That's when Cheadle let a giggle slip. "There's some noise," he joked.

But Hart wasn't done yet. "Can you see without your glasses?" he asked.
"These aren't real, Kevin," the actor said with a smile. "I put these on to appear smart. You might need some of these to appear smart. Do you want to see if it makes you appear smart? It matches your suit."
"Star this part because it's not going to make it in [the final edit]," Hart told the production crew before trying his guest's glasses on for size.
Then, Cheadle flipped the script on "God damn!" Cheadle exclaimed. "Professor Hart."
