The world's fastest man, nine-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt, gave a very surprising shoutout to one of the world's most popular comedians in a live Q&A on Facebook.

Bolt was asked who or what inspires him, and mentioned his father and track legend Michael Johnson before opening up about his appreciation for Kevin Hart.

"Now, surprisingly, Kevin Hart is one of my biggest inspirations because he's always working out. When I look at that, I'm like, I have to work out. So it's something that I definitely look forward to and try to work on."

Hart actually beat Bolt in a [not very fair] footrace a few years ago.

Bolt also said he was very nervous about meeting Beyonce. 

"I met Beyonce. I was really nervous. I had a conversation all lined up that I was going to do. And when I met her, all I said was, 'Hi, nice to meet you.' And that was it."
