Watch the moment clinical psychologist and public intellectual Dr Jordan Peterson breaks down in tears from a line of questioning by Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan.

In the wide-ranging interview, Dr Peterson discusses life, God, heaven and hell but it was one particular moment he couldn’t contain his emotions when delivering his answer.

Mr Morgan questioned the famous clinical psychologist about what is the “best and worst thing about being Jordan Peterson?”

Dr Peterson replied by saying the worst thing is that he is “a bit much” and “running in all directions” which can be hard on people around him.

“I’m a bit much, man,” he said.

“The best thing about being me – it’s overwhelming really – the deep appreciation that people have for what I’ve been doing.

“It’s stunning, it’s soul destroying but it’s amazing.”

Dr Peterson continued to state, “it’s a strange thing to have far more than you could ever imagine … that’s my life, I have far more than I could ever imagine – I didn’t think it was possible.”
