Pete Davidson on TheKingofStatenIsland: 'It's a love letter to pretty much my whole family.”
The 26-year-old comedian cowrote the semiautobiographical film with pal Dave Sirus and director Judd Apatow, and recently told ET that making the movie was a cathartic experience for him, personally and professionally.
"I think having to, you know, deal with that sort of thing at such a great scale really helped me heal," the comedian said of playing out a fictionalized version of his life in the movie."It really made me think that I could put this behind me now, because we like, went through it all together, so I really feel a lot better and I hope some other people can also relate to that.
As for his real-life healing process, in addition to making this movie, Davidson recommends"therapy. Lots of therapy." "I always encouraged her to date, but she's so particular about me and my sister and taking care of us," he shared of his mom."We made this movie as a way to be like, you know, It would be OK if you got yourself out there and made yourself happy."for the first time."She really loved it," Davidson said earnestly."It really meant a lot to me and I think we made her proud.
