As a long-time fan of Pete Davidson, I can empathize with his desire for a more balanced and meaningful career in Hollywood. His experiences have shown us that he’s not just a face in the crowd, but a talented individual with a unique voice who wants to make a lasting impact through his work.
Pete Davidson just wants to be known for doing great work… but only every couple years.
More simply, the actor-comedian shared in a conversation with W Magazine that being too heavily involved in the film and TV industry can have a detrimental effect on them.
In “The Sopranos,” there’s a line from Tony that goes, ‘Do you ever feel like you got into something at the end when the good times were over?’ This is how I feel about the entertainment industry and being a celebrity – it feels like it’s all done for me. Davidson expressed this sentiment.
Initially, when numerous opportunities present themselves and offers flood in, it’s challenging to decline as ambition and desire drive you forward. However, I made the error of accepting every offer that came my way. Now, with age and wisdom, I am learning that doing less can lead to more impact. Much like Christian Bale, who only takes on one role every two or three years, yet his work is highly anticipated. Similarly, Leonardo DiCaprio chooses a project once every four years, but these films create a significant global stir. This phenomenon occurs because people yearn for your presence; they miss you when you’re not around.
Beyond his eight-season stint on Saturday Night Live (which he left in 2022), appearances in movies like Bodies Bodies Bodies and the semi-autobiographical dramedy The King of Staten Island, Pete Davidson has also garnered significant media attention due to his romantic relationships. He’s been frequently featured in news headlines following his past connections with celebrities such as Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, and Madelyn Cline, among others.
Davidson shared honestly that he desires recognition for his quality work rather than fame itself. He prefers to appear in movies, stand-up comedy, charitable events, or business endeavors where he feels comfortable being visible. He’s not fond of the label of a casual dater and wants people to see him as more than just a celebrity. He expressed his displeasure with the current negative sentiment towards celebrities.
He went on to say, “The media selects several celebrities every few years, and they ruthlessly tear them down. Incidentally, I happen to be one of their targets. Interestingly, this has turned out to be somewhat of a blessing, as it gave me the opportunity to reflect and reassess. What do I aspire to become? Who am I? I’m a person from Staten Island, with dreams of stand-up comedy, and if I’ve been able to accomplish anything else because of that, it’s nothing short of a miracle.
The actor from Bupkis expressed his contentment, stating, “I’m extremely satisfied mentally at this moment,” and acknowledged feeling fortunate for having experienced the “Hollywood shovel” to the face.
