Kevin Hart's 16-year-old daughter is coming for his job

Kevin Hart has approximately 500 different jobs at any given time in the entertainment industry, so it makes sense that his 16-year-old daughter, Heaven, wanted to get into the family business as soon as possible.

"My 16-year-old is interning for me currently at HartBeat Productions, and I couldn't be prouder," the actor, stand-up comedian and producer said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "I've had a lot of success and major accomplishments in my life. My daughter asking me to learn the business and to truly, like, come up under my wing and grow was the biggest thing ever. Because it's not forced. I didn't force her."

The 41-year-old Emmy nominee continued:

"She wants to learn the world of producing, the world of development. She's so creative. That's like the biggest compliment to what I do. And she's good! I gave her a script to read, and I didn't even read it yet. I forgot that I didn't read it yet, and we had a call about the script, and she was so dialed-in. She had notes. She had thoughts. She had ideas. And she was like, 'Dad, what do you think?' And I was like, 'Shut up. OK. You don't tell me what I think. It's for me to listen.' I didn't want her to know I didn't read the script yet, but I had no idea what she was talking about the whole time."

Heaven is the eldest of Hart's four children. He shares Heaven and 13-year-old Hendrix with his first wife, Torrei, and he and his current wife, Eniko, have three-year-old Kenzo and seven-month-old Kaori.

HartBeat Productions struck an exclusive feature and first-look production partnership with Netflix in January. Hart stars in Netflix's drama Fatherhood, based upon a heartbreaking true story, set for a June 18 release.

"It's the question of, why am I still here?" Hart told DeGeneres of the film's plot. "Why wasn't I the one that was taken? Why was my wife taken? And it's his fight with himself. It's a man battling himself to try to become a better version of himself to simply give his daughter the best possible life that he can."
