Chris Rock Defends Athlete Steroid Use

Published January 13, 2015

Chris Rock (search) is ready to get juiced.

"I'm pretty scrawny," Rock says in the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine. "If I was playing (football), I'd definitely be on steroids (search). You know, most people in the world, if you told them they could take a pill and be better at their job, they'd take the pill."

Rock co-stars with Adam Sandler in the upcoming "The Longest Yard," (search) a remake of the 1974 movie about prison inmates who challenge the prison guards to a football game.

It is Rock's first film since he hosted the Oscars in February. The 39-year-old actor-comedian continues to say he would do the show again if they asked him and the time was right.

"Doing the show got a bit of the chip off my shoulder," he says. "When you're a comedian that curses, you're always a second-class citizen to the guys who don't curse. They say, 'You're big, but so-and-so's a family comedian.' It's almost like porn — nobody admits to liking it, but it's a billion-dollar industry."

"The Longest Yard" hits theaters May 27.
