Hart, a Hollywood superstar with a net worth of £340million after starring in box office hits like Jumanji, Central Intelligence and Ride Along, will play two sold-out shows at London's Royal Albert Hall this weekend.
But earlier in the week, he performed at the AO Arena in Manchester to another bumper audience.
And among the fans in attendance were Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Man City star Nathan Ake.
After the gig, the Netherlands duo met Hart before posing for pictures.

But the comic had the last laugh with a hilarious crop which cut the heads off Van Dijk, who is 6ft 4in tall, and Ake, who stands at 5ft 10in.
Hart told his 177m Instagram followers: 'I got to meet two amazing guys last night… shout out to Virgil van Dijk and Nathan Ake.
'Congrats on all of your success fellas, keep going. Looking forward to what you are going to do next! Dinner on me when the World Cup hits the States.
'Sorry about your heads in the picture fellas but rules are rules… I have to look cool at all times.'
