American comedian/actor Kevin Hart is the talk of the town right now, and he was spotted just yesterday in Belfast’s city centre.

Casually strolling down Great Victoria Street, Kevin was preparing to film a scene for his upcoming Netfllix film at the historic Crown Liquor Saloon.

His latest project, Lift, is a comedy heist film, which is currently in production at Belfast Harbour Studios.

The Crown Liquor Bar is a unique spot in Belfast, with a rich history dating ack to the 1880s.

The Crown is a grade A listed building owned by the National Trust and is a truly stunning example of a traditional Victorian gin palace.

Just two weeks ago, everyone went crazy for a chance to watch the stand-up hero perform live in Lavery’s and Limelight.

Those lucky enough to secure a ticket raved about his performance, and yesterday the opportunity came up again, with another surprise gig planned for Wednesday evening.

No release date for Lift has been announced just yet, but it is expected in early 2023.
