Pete Davidson has put his Saturday Night Live days behind him. Now, the star is debuting a striking new look as he works on one of his biggest projects yet. Keep reading to find out what he’s up to.
Pete Davidson’s New Movie
Pete Davidson has a rather interesting past. The comedian is probably best known for his time on Saturday Night Live. He was on the popular show for 8 years before his departure in 2022. That’s where he and Kim Kardashian first kissed and even ended up dating for a while.
At one point, he was sporting a bleach-blonde buzzcut, was covered in tattoos, and was in and out of rehab. The star has opened up about suffering from mental health issues, including borderline personality disorder. All of this became kind of like his brand. However, in recent years that has started changing.
As he grows up, Pete has made the decision to remove the 200 tattoos on his skin. He has said in the past that they remind him of a dark time in his life. Not only that, but in 2025 he welcomed his daughter into the world, Scottie. Despite getting his tattoos removed, he did get one for Scottie, of course.
The changes Pete has been making just keep coming. Now, he’s starring in his biggest project yet and has totally changed his look for it.
His New Look
Pete Davidson is starring in a new movie called Tommy Karate, where he plays mobster Tommy Pitera. According to Yahoo!, the star has totally changed his appearance for the role. His bleached-blonde hair is long and black, while his brown eyes are a light shade of blue. His facial structure is even completely transformed as his cheekbones protrude from his face.
Previously, a black and white image of the actor was shared by Justin Chon, the movie’s director.
“Petey’z all growns up now. Here’s Pete Davidson as mobster Tommy Karate. Was a long journey to get here but excited for everyone to see how talented he is. Thanks for letting me take the wheel. Love you brother!!!❤️❤️❤️,” he writes in the caption.
It seems like Justin is very proud of this project and even says that “Tommy Karate is the greatest mob story never told.”
He also goes on to explain that the movie has a wonderful team behind it.
“We have a great team behind this one,” he says. “And I can’t wait for people to see what we’ve come up with.”
