Kevin Hart had some special help when preparing for his upcoming movie.

The 41-year-old actor has been working to branch out of comedy lately, stretching into drama with Netflix's "Fatherhood" and dipping his toe into the world of action-adventure with the upcoming film "Borderlands."

Earlier this week, Hart took to Instagram to show off his physique after working hard to look like an action star and revealed that he recruited Navy Seals to help him prepare.

In the shirtless photo, the comedian donned only dark-colored pants and muddy boots.

"Our cast & crew & production team & studio were all A 1 on this project. This movie is going to be super special & unexpected."
