Dr Jordan Peterson has been moved to tears during an emotional and heartwarming moment in which he paid tribute to his daughter Mikhaila during an interview with Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan.

During the wide-ranging interview, Dr Peterson, a clinical psychologist and public intellectual, was quizzed about what it was that he loved about his daughter.

After pausing for a moment and becoming clearly emotional, Dr Peterson replied by saying, “she’s pretty damn funny”.

“She’s tough man, don’t mess with her,” Dr Peterson continued.

“She’ll bite you, and you’ll remember it … so she’s a formidable person, like my wife, like my son.
“They’re fun to be around, don’t mess with them.

“And that’s a pretty good combination.”
