KEVIN Hart said he feels like a "different version" of himself just two months after a horrific car crash nearly took his life.

Hart revealed that his wife Eniko Parrish had to help him in the bathroom during the "humbling" recovery process.

"I could not f**king move," he said. "I literally I couldn't do none of that."

The actor suffered three spinal fractures in early September after his 1970 Barracuda muscle car crashed into a ditch in Malibu Hills.

He was hospitalized for 10 days before entering an inpatient rehab facility for physical therapy.

Hart shared a touching Instagram video chronicling his recovery. Nurses are seen helping the actor as he uses a walker to stand.

In the video, he explained the agonizing effects of the crash and cautioned fans not to take life for granted "because tomorrow's not promised."
