Jumanji star Kevin Hart has been announced as the new face of Mountain Dew, and stars in the drink brand's Closer Than Courtside campaign.

Through the partnership, Hart is offering one Mountain Dew fan the chance to attend the NBA Playoffs as his 'court sidekick', and commented 'I'm literally the biggest NBA fan you will ever meet.... I'm happy to be partnering with MTN DEW KICKSTART to kick off the CourtSidekick Contest and find the right person to help me take my NBA game-watching to the next level'.
