Kevin Hart's 'Hollywood Reporter' cover photo is ... very confusing to us

The Hollywood Reporter's cover image of Kevin Hart makes no sense, despite what editor-in-chief Janice Min says.

So, it's "The Reign of Kevin Hart" -- which is true -- and we suppose that puffed-up cloud of a wig is supposed to be an allusion to, like, Marie Antoinette, or whomever.

But, why is he shirtless? And how come there's no other royal imagery? Or anything to tell us what it's all supposed to mean? Just ... what?

Never mind -- we've spent too much time thinking about this.

P.S.: Nice pecs, Kev!
