Chris Rock Digs Rock?

Chris Rock is known for hiscomedic work. With a new movie on the way, and a successful show on television, what more could he want? Well, he recently answered this by becoming the director for a music video by The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

This is not Chris Rock's first job as a director. He also directed his up-coming film, I Think I Love My Wife.

As he commented, this job grew from a seed planted during a conversation with TRHCP's producer/legendary producerRick Rubin.

"We were talking about the album and I commented to Rick that their videos are very arty...I said, 'They need to do a straight down-the-middle party, girls, ass-shaking, Rolling Stones-type video,'" Rocksaid recently, according toEurweb.

Rock also had a little rule for the Peppers.

"Rick told Anthony what I said, so Anthony pages me and asks if I'd like to direct the video. I said, 'Okay, I'll direct it, but you have to agree to be the only white people in the video.' He laughed and said, 'Sure, because it's going to look different.'"

The video was shot on the CW set of his successful "Everybody Hates Chris"television show.
