Chris Rock
is known for his comedic 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 producer Rick 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,'”
Rock said recently, according to Eurweb.
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.'”
