Kevin Hart says he's in a secret group chat with Dwayne Johnson, Tom Cruise, and more action stars

Kevin Hart's group chat sounds kicka---, regardless of whether or not it's real.

The comedian and actor, 44, claimed he's part of a "secret" group chat with the likes of Tom Cruise, Dwayne Johnson, and other action stars at the New York premiere of his Netflix action comedy Lift. "Dwayne, Mark Wahlberg, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Jet Li, Jackie Chan. All the biggest guys,” Hart joked to PEOPLE. “You know, we just talk about action stuff."

“It's a real secret chat," Hart maintained. "I shouldn't be talking to you about this chat. I could get in a lot of trouble from the other action guys." Expanding on the topics at hand, he said, "When you're an action guy, you have to have action stories so our chat is all about ping-ponging action stories and just making sure that everyone’s in sync, you know? That's what it's about."

Hart has starred opposite Johnson in action films Central Intelligence, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. He also recently starred opposite Wahlberg in the comedy Me Time.

Debuting Jan. 12 on Netflix, Lift follows Hart's master thief as he leads a heist crew to retrieve $500 million in gold from a passenger plane, 40 thousand feet above the ground. Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Vincent D'Onofrio, Úrsula Corberó, Billy Magnussen, and Sam Worthington also star in the film from director F. Gary Gray.

Do we think Harrison Ford is an emojis guy?
