Chris Rock says he does seven hours of therapy weekly since coronavirus pandemic shutdown
Chris Rock has taken an introspective approach amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The 55-year-old actor and comic, speaking with Gayle King of CBS Sunday Morning, said that he's gone through around seven weekly hours of therapy - with painful candor, at times - since the lockdown this past March.
'You have to tell the truth: You have to tell - you have to go into therapy prepared to tell the worst part of yourself every week, you know?' said the Fargo actor, who has two therapists.

The Everybody Hates Chris star said, 'I learned that I could be very hard on myself. Like really, really hard on myself, and I need to relax. And I need to listen, I need to take chances.'
The Saturday Night Live alum said he's spent exhaustive time looking at past behavior with a critical eye.
'Sometimes I wasn't kind, and sometimes I wasn't listening, and sometimes I was selfish, and some, you know, a lot of times,' Rock said. 'And sometimes, you know, I took advantage of circumstances, and positions, of you know, just everyday things. And you know, it's ultimately, who do you want to be?'
In the exchange, Rock was asked about race relations in the wake of the George Floyd killing: 'As I always say, there are no race relations - there's a relationship when things are equal between two people. That's a relationship. Okay? So when you say race relations, that term doesn't really exist.'

Rock spoke with Gayle King about skepticism in the Black community regarding the coronavirus vaccine, which he said he's happy to receive.
'I'm a Black man,' Rock said. 'I'm going to put it this way: Do I take Tylenol when I get a headache? Yes. Do I know what's in Tylenol? I don't know what's in Tylenol, Gayle, I just know my headache is gone.
'Do I know what's in a Big Mac, Gayle? No, I just know it's delicious.'
