Saquon Barkley couldn’t help but laugh when Kevin Hart shared his wild new hobby during their appearance on “Hot Ones.”
The comedian revealed that he owns two pet eagles named after NFL stars Jalen Hurts and Barkley himself. Barkley’s reaction was a mix of skepticism and amusement, turning the moment into comedy gold.
Barkley Doubts Hart’s Spending Choices
When host Sean Evans asked Barkley about Hart’s eagle story, the Philadelphia running back delivered a perfectly timed response: “I hope that’s just PR, and he’s doing a really good job. I hope he did not spend that money on eagles.”
The disbelief was written all over his face, drawing laughs from everyone on set. Hart, of course, wasn’t done embellishing the tale, adding that the eagles were so strong they picked him off the ground.
Barkley, still skeptical but clearly enjoying the absurdity of it all, joked, “He’s a small human being, and eagles are strong animals, so I really wouldn’t be surprised.”

What Barkley Would Do If It Were Real
As the story got more outrageous, Barkley started to entertain the idea of the eagles actually existing. “If that’s real, I think I got to go meet them,” he said, cracking a smile. “I think I got to spend some time with them, got to take a picture with Saquon.”
It was the kind of playful response that only Barkley could deliver, highlighting his sharp sense of humor. The thought of Barkley posing with a bird named after him is almost as entertaining as Hart’s claim that the eagles “grabbed him from the back” and lifted him off the ground.
Barkley’s Star Power Shines
The “Hot Ones” episode wasn’t just a platform for jokes, it showcased Barkley’s charm and personality. Known for his quiet leadership on the field, Barkley showed fans that he can hold his own in the spotlight alongside one of the most animated personalities in Hollywood.
Barkley, coming off a phenomenal season with the Eagles where he posted over 2,000 rushing yards and helped lead his team to a Super Bowl win, has been in top form both on and off the field.
If the eagles are real, Barkley just might find himself posing for that picture someday. Until then, fans will have plenty of laughs from this unforgettable interview.
