Stopping By 'Today' To Promote 'The Secret Life Of Pets 2', The 'Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle' Actor Recalls The Time He Learned About His Serious Allergy To Seafood.

Comedian Kevin Hart almost died while celebrating his ninth birthday after discovering he was seriously allergic to crabmeat.


The "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" star was treated to a fancy dinner by his mother, but the skin outbreak he suffered was enough to scar him for life - and he hasn't touched any seafood since.

"I broke out in hives eating Alaskan crab!" he recalled on U.S. breakfast show "Today".

"I was with my mum, I was celebrating my birthday and I almost died, true story! No more seafood; I'm allergic to seafood."
