Pete Davidson Admits He's "Embarrassed" by Media's Focus on His "Big Dick Energy"

"I was embarrassed by it because... no one talked about any work I was doing. They were just like, 'Oh, that's the f- stick.' And that hurt so much."

"On paper, that sounds great. But it's embarrassing. Because it's Hollywood - everybody fucks everyone. Everyone dates everyone. Why are they focusing on me? I'm just a dude who tells dick jokes that is a drug addict."

"If that was a girl... There would be a march for it... Seriously."

"The comedian, who is expecting his first child with model Elsie Hewitt, currently stars alongside Eddie Murphy in the new heist comedy, The Pickup, which is streaming now on Prime Video."

Pete Davidson expressed embarrassment regarding the media's focus on his alleged 'big dick energy' during his early career on Saturday Night Live. The obsession intensified following a joke from Ariana Grande about his size. Davidson stated that this attention overshadowed his professional achievements, stating that he felt reduced to a stereotype. He highlighted a double standard in the industry's focus, arguing that such attention would provoke significant outrage if directed at a woman. Currently, he stars in The Pickup, alongside Eddie Murphy, and is expecting his first child.
