Pete Davidson has had just about enough of the constant conversation about his dick.
The actor and comedian opened up to Charlamange Tha God on a recent episode of The Breakfast Club about feeling “embarrassed” by the media’s obsession with his alleged “big dick energy” during the early years of his career as a cast member of Saturday Night Live. The attention was exacerbated after his ex-girlfriend, pop star Ariana Grande, joked in a deleted tweet that Davidson is “Like 10 inches?” after a fan asked about the length of a song entitled “Pete Davidson” on her then-forthcoming 2018 album, Sweetener.
“I was embarrassed by it because… no one talked about any work I was doing,” he revealed. “They were just like, ‘Oh, that’s the f— stick.’ And that hurt so much.”
When Charlamange challenged Davidson’s claims (“You was banging a lot of hot chicks and you had a 10-inch penis”), the actor pushed back. “On paper, that sounds great,” he said. “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. It had nothing to do with comedy.”
Davidson went on the emphasize that while he didn’t want to “victimize” himself, he did want to point out the double standard: “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.
