Comedian Chris Rock, 42, was featured as the Man of Style in the April 2007 issue of InStyle Magazine, in which he talks about being a father to his two kids, Lola, 4 1/2, and Zahra, 2 1/2.
Chris has been known to be a hilarious stand-up comedian with a dirty mouth, but has he toned down his language since he had kids? Chris says,
It's no different. It's not like I ever cursed around my mother or anything. I never had a hard time turning it on and off. It's like you enter another country -- sometimes you're in a cursing country and then you're in a kid's country.
As a father, Chris is very particular about what types of music his children listen to.
At home, [we play] a lot of Disney stuff -- Raven, High School Music soundtrack. My kids love Beyonce, but there are a few songs I can't let them listen to -- they're so materialistic! They're all about chinchilla coats and BBS Slims [cell phone]. I'd rather have them listening to a protest song!
