Pete Davidson refuses to be labeled a dating loser

In an interview with W magazine, published recently, comedian and actor Pete Davidson, 31, discussed his feelings regarding his celebrity status and the way the media interprets his relationships. He lamented how his past dating life has overshadowed his accomplishments and emphasized that his aim is not to be seen as someone who merely dates famous women. Davidson candidly shared his frustration about being portrayed in this light and stated he just wants to be recognized for his work, such as movies, stand-up performances, charity efforts, and business ventures. He mentioned that he has been in show business for about half his life and feels reduced to an image that does not represent who he truly is. Davidson reflected on his experiences, noting that it has allowed him to take a step back and evaluate his identity in the entertainment industry. He recognized the intense scrutiny that comes with fame, especially for celebrities who are constantly targeted by the media. Despite the challenges, he considers this experience a blessing, prompting him to reconsider the type of visibility and the frequency with which he engages with his audience. Davidson highlighted the importance of being selective in his appearances, drawing a parallel to actors like Christian Bale, who creates anticipation by limiting the number of projects they take on. He underscored that being in his 20s and dating several people in the public eye doesn't characterize him, labeling that perspective as an exaggerated narrative shaped by the media. Davidson expressed his belief that his dating life is not particularly noteworthy, suggesting that it is the notion of 'celebrity dating' that captivates the public's attention more than his personal choices. Ultimately, Davidson aims to take control of his narrative, hoping to shift the focus onto his body of work instead of past relationships.
