Pete Davidson recently claimed that he wants to be known to the public only for his good work. The comedian shot to fame in the early 2010s with his stand-up segments and guest appearances on shows likeBrooklyn Nine-Nine, andJimmy Kimmel Live. However, his big break came with his casting inSaturday Night Livein 2014, which he continued with for eight years before quitting in 2022.
One aspect of his life, though, has taken center stage during his time in the entertainment industry far more than his actual work. That is his very public relationships with some of the industry’s most influential personalities throughout the years.
According to theBig Time Adolescencestar, his love life has been under constant public scrutiny to the point that he feels like his work is not getting recognized at all. And now, he seems to want to change that, but the internet seems to have a different opinion.
Pete Davidson wants people to know him for his work rather than dating history
In a recent interview withW Magazine, Pete Davidson opened up about his career goals moving forward. He stated that he feels like the show business is over, and he might have chosen the worst possible time to be a celebrity.
Reflecting on his lack of success in the industry in the past few years, he explained that as a newcomer it becomes harder to not take every offer available as you are“hungry,”and you need to put yourself out there. And toThe King of Staten Islandstar that was a“mistake”.
Now I’m older and wiser, and I’m realizing that less is more. Like Christian Bale. He does one movie every two, three years, but you go f**king see it. Leo does one movie every four years, but it’s the biggest thing in the world. It’s because you miss them. People have to miss you.
He also noted his dislike for the image people have supposedly attached to him, as it gives a false idea of his personality. He further explained that he only wants to be seen in association with his work now.
I don’t want to be this f**king loser who just dates people. That’s not who I am. But people hate celebrities now.
He stated that he believes that the media played a huge part in it by going after him deliberately. This is, according toPete Davidson, what led to the public disregarding his work and focusing on tabloid gossip regarding his romantic relationships.

However, theMeet Cutestar stated that he is in a much better space now mentally. This has provided him with a new perspective and he feels fortunate to finally be able to observe his situation with much more clarity.
Fans disagree with Pete Davidson’s analysis
Most people on the internet seem to disagree completely with Pete Davidson’s evaluation of the situation. According to them,“loser”is in fact what best describes him. Not because of his colorful dating life, which includes the likes ofAriana Grande, Kaia Gerber,Kim Kardashian, Madelyn Cline,Emily Ratajkowski, etc., but because he seems to let go of every major opportunity he is provided with.
What has angered people more is the cancellation ofBupkis, a comedy-drama based on his life, after just one season. The show even stars Edie Falco as Davidson’s mother, with the legendaryJoe Pesciportraying the character of his grandfather.

Fans claim that Pesci, who left TV shows after hisGoodfellasacclamation, came out of retirement to star in that show, and the comedian just canceled it out of the blue. Moreover, he also put the entire crew out of jobs due to his impulsive decision. So, blaming other people for his neglected work profile is not quite right, according to them.
Some people have also pointed out that his mental health may not be at the stage where he can continue filming an entire season and everything else that comes with it. However, with the actor stating that he is now far healthier mentally, it will be interesting to see what he has in store for the audience next.
