Celebrity IOU: Kevin Hart surprises his best friend and trainer Ron ‘Boss’ Everline with a man cave

After Kevin Hart, 42, told the Property Brothers about how his best friend and trainer Ron ‘Boss’ Everline helped him walk again after his serious 2019 car crash, they pitched in to help Kevin transform Boss ‘ back house into a sleek man cave.

Hart told the brothers, 39-year-old twins Drew and Jonathan Scott, that he credited Boss with helping to rehabilitate him after his near fatal car accident.

He said Boss has been his trainer for more than six years and after the accident that he had lost all his muscle mass. He said once he could take his back brace off and he was approved for physical therapy that he put Boss in charge. 

Kevin described Boss as basically having turned into his brother after he met him 16-years ago at a barber shop. He said they have the same barber and built a nice rapport from there.

Hart said, though, that his friend’s house was ‘tough on the eyes.’

Boss also said in a confessional that the two had a ‘brotherhood.’ He said he met Kevin back in 2003 when he was in college. Boss said now they are together ‘everything single day’ to train in the early morning.

‘The relationship came full circle years later,’ Kevin told the camera of his bond with Boss. ‘He was a motivating force that was much needed at that time.’

Boss said that morning of the crash that he actually called Kevin to work out. Then later he said that got a phone call and was told that Kevin was in the hospital. Kevin said he basically had to start over and to rebuild himself after the accident.

‘Boss was with me every step of the way,’ said Kevin.

After inspecting Boss’ dilapidated back house and with Boss away on a month-long trip, the brother’s met Kevin at the house to get started. Drew asked Kevin if he was ‘good to do some demolition.’

‘Am I good to do some demolition? Don’t threaten me with a good time,’ Kevin said.

Kevin wanted to change Boss’ back house into a sleek designed man cave with its own barber shop.

Kevin kicked in with the demo taking apart floors and cabinets with a sledgehammer. They also played ‘brick-tac-toe’ and smashed bricks through the window of the house. 

Hart said he wore his construction boots because he ‘wanted to look the part.’ Kevin also helped them pick out tile and floor colors. Kevin told them that he has watched a lot of design shows.

‘I’m a 1,000 percent confident in all my choices,’ said Kevin. ‘I love my guy to the moon and back. He needs a space of calm. He’s always intense.’

Jonathan went to Kevin’s barber Greg and got his haircut to learn how to design the barber shop room at Boss’ house. 

Greg told Jonathan that Kevin met his best friend Boss at his barber shop and then Jonathan told Greg that he met his best friend, his twin brother, in the womb.

The day before the big reveal, Kevin came to the house to help finish staging the home and to make every detail perfect.

‘It’s upscale, clean and comfortable,’ Kevin said of the finished design.

When Boss arrived back at his house after the month-long design redo, Kevin surprised him and told he was waiting for him back at his house. 

Kevin told him that he wanted to get in a quick workout. Kevin took him to the back house and Boss was shocked at the transformation.

‘I love you but this is beyond,’ said Boss.

‘I did this with my bare hands, brick by brick, log by log, every day,’ Kevin told him before the Property Brothers appeared. Boss told that he was at a loss for words and was humbled on what they did to transform his house.

‘This is incredible,’ Boss said.

The Property Brothers and Kevin even had an important quote for Boss that said ‘just train the mind and the body will follow’ made into a neon sign and hung in the kitchen. 

Then they showed him the ultimate surprise that Kevin had insisted on the creation of a barbershop room. Boss was blown away.

‘We met at the barbershop when I was 19 so this is a full circle moment,’ he said

‘It’s crazy right,’ said Kevin.

Boss told Kevin he was super grateful.

‘I love you to death man,’ Kevin told him
