Hart to Hart! Man City keeper takes time out of training to chat with American comedian
There was quite literally a 'heart to heart' at Manchester City training when goalkeeper Joe Hart took some time out to chat to American celebrity Kevin Hart.
The actor and comedian, who has featured in Drillbit Taylor, Scary Movie and Little Fockers, spent the morning at the Carrington Training Centre and posed for pictures with Manuel Pellegrini's squad. He even slotted a penalty past England's No 1.
Following last week's 2-0 Champions League defeat by Barcelona, the funny man's appearance will provide a timely morale boost ahead of Sunday's Capital One Cup final with Sunderland.

There was no sign of striker Sergio Aguero in the photos, but the Argentine could be fit for the weekend after returning to training earlier this week.
The former Atletico Madrid forward has been out for four weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury in City's 5-1 thrashing of Tottenham in late January but looked sharp in a session at Carrington on Tuesday.
Aguero scored the opener for Manuel Pellegrini's side at White Hart Lane but he was replaced by Stevan Jovetic at half-time after pulling up in pain shortly before the break.
Aguero has experienced fitness issues this season, missing a month between mid-December and mid-January after suffering a calf problem.
His latest injury caused him to miss league and FA Cup clashes with Chelsea, as well as City's 2-0 Champions League defeat by Barcelona.
Pellegrini will be hoping to call on Aguero against Sunderland at Wembley, with Edin Dzeko and Alvaro Negredo both struggling in front goal.
