Cheesed-Off Church
As well as poking fun at himself and his own struggles, Davidson also frequently referenced public controversies or current events in his comedy material. He also never shied away from making fun of public figures or institutions.
However, this got him in hot water with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, who demanded an apology after he likened the catholic church to famous convicted pedophile R. Kelly. And this wouldn’t be the first time Davidson would find himself in trouble for his public actions.
Canoodles With Kate
In January 2019, the media focus turned away from Davidson’s controversial comedy comments, and back to the main headline-grabbing part of his story – his illustrious love life. Because around this time he was spotted hugging and kissing none other than beloved British actress – and mega babe – Kate Beckinsale.
The relationship reportedly didn’t last long, but the fans and media alike were once again amazed by the pairing. But this time, Davidson decided to fight back against the critics of his dating decisions.
No Nonsense
By this time, Davidson had got used to the world questioning how a man of his modest looks could have charmed and romanced so many famously beautiful women. But when fans and media started criticizing his relationship with Kate Beckinsale based on their age difference, he wasn’t going to take this one lying down.
Pete Davidson made a valid observation highlighting the double standard in society’s criticism of older women dating younger men. He questioned why a similar critique wasn’t applied to older men dating younger women, underscoring the need to challenge these stereotypes.
Romance Rolls On
Even though his relationship with Kate Beckinsale didn’t last, the two of them remained very fond of each other. And Davidson continued to show the world that his unique charms proved irresistible to women.
Because not long after, he was spotted out and about once again with another young starlet – none other than actress Margaret Qualley. Qualley is probably best known for her role in the Netflix miniseries Maid alongside her famous mother Andie MacDowell. Another Davidson girlfriend with famous parents!
Model Moves
The world continued to wonder how Pete Davidson could charm and woo so many women, with such famous faces and such renowned beauty. After all, he wasn’t known as being particularly a Hollywood heartthrob, and he was very open about his own personal struggles and difficulties.
But clearly, this didn’t harm his way with the ladies – in fact just the opposite! After his dalliance with Margaret Qualley, he was in a relationship with model Kaia Gerber from October 2019 to January 2020.
Cinema King
In May 2020, he demonstrated his creative genius by writing and starring in the Judd Apatow film “The King of Staten Island.” The movie’s success hinged on the brilliance of his comedy rooted in real-life painful experiences. This project solidified Pete Davidson’s status as a comedy and showbiz luminary.
With “The King of Staten Island,” Davidson’s comedic talent and storytelling skills merged to create a piece of work that resonated with a wide audience, securing his reputation as a leading figure in the comedy world and beyond.
