Pete Davidson, known for his history of dating some of the most prominent celebrities in Hollywood, claims he doesn’t want to be labeled for his dating record.
The Saturday Night Live alum revealed his thoughts on his prior romances being seemingly engraved in his name in an interview, saying that he doesn’t want to be known as “this f–-ing loser who just dates people.”
“I got hit on the face with the Hollywood shovel,” the 31-year-old said. “It was a long time coming, and I needed it. I’m very happy where I am right now, mentally.”
Davidson continued, “I just want to be known for doing good work. I want to be out there only when it’s [a] movie, stand-up, charity, or business ventures. That’s when I want to be seen.”
The comedian also opened up about how he feels his celebrity image has become “oversaturated” as he has gained fame in his career.
“In The Sopranos, there’s this line from Tony that’s like, ‘You ever feel like you got into something at the end? When the good times were over?’ That’s how I feel about show business and being a celebrity. It’s over,” he said. “When you’re first coming up, and getting all these offers, it’s hard to say no, because you’re hungry. I made the mistake of doing literally everything. Now I’m older and wiser, and I’m realizing that less is more.”
This isn’t the first time the actor has shared his feelings about his dating history. Last year, Davidson talked about the captivation surrounding his romances on John Bernthal’s Real Ones podcast.
“I’m in my 20’s, and I’ve dated people. And for some reason, that’s very crazy and interesting to people. I don’t think it’s interesting,” he said in March 2023. “I’ve been in show business for, like, half my life almost — for 14 or 15 years and on a national TV show. In 12 years I’ve dated 10 people. I don’t think that’s that crazy, but to some people, that’s very interesting. That became all anyone would talk about.”
“Suddenly, you’re in this zeitgeist, and that has nothing to do with the work,” he said. “And that’s a really s— feeling. I became more known before the work was there, but I was always working.”
