Watch: Pete Davidson Teases Future Tattoos After “Brutal” Removal Process
Pete Davidson is wearing his heart on his sleeve—just not in ink.
As the Saturday Night Live alum continues his tattoo removal journey, which he began in 2020, he shared a cheeky update about where he stands in the process.
“It’s brutal,” Davidson told E! News an exclusive E! News interview at the How to Rob a Bank New York premiere alongside costar Nicholas Hoult. “I’ve only been wearing for sweaters for, like, six months so you don’t know what’s going on under there.”
But while Davidson—dad to daughter Scottie, 11 months, with ex Elsie Hewitt—has gotten his once sleeved-up arms to nearly completely bare skin, the King of Staten Island star quipped of his tattoos, “You never know, they might come back.”
That wasn’t the only teasing, however, he provided.
While the whole world seems to be waiting to know who the next James Bond star might be, the 32-year-old joked fans shouldn’t look much further than Davidson—Pete Davidson.
Ignoring Hoult at his side—who has been rumored to be circling the role alongside Callum Turner, Jack Lowden and Josh O’Connor—the Bodies Bodies Bodies alum revealed, “It’s going to be me.”
“Plot twist,” Davidson quipped. “I will be the first American James Bond.”
Jokes aside though, Davidson offered his full support to Hoult—who remained as elusive on the topic as the character itself.
“If anyone should get it, it’s this guy next to me,” Davidson mused. “He’s the best guy for the job.”
And that’s not the only role Davidson says Hoult would ace. In fact, the comedian admitted his costar—who shares three kids with wife Bryana Holly—has been a great role model during Davidson’s his first year of fatherhood.

“Very supportive and checks in,” Davidson said of Hoult. “We both check in on each other’s families and see how they’re doing because that’s what friends do.”
Meanwhile, Davidson previously shared that his entire life perspective has shifted nearly a year after welcoming his baby girl.
“My priorities have shifted in just that becoming a dad is great for so many reasons,” Davidson told E! News in an interview earlier this year, “but it just made me realize the stuff that I cared about so much don’t actually matter.”
The Bupkis alum considered that becoming a dad has “calmed” him. As he put it, “I’m just happy where I am.”
While Davidson is cooling down and removing his tattoos, other stars have debuted quite the body art over the years. Keep reading for the most inked up celebrities, and don’t miss How to Rob a Bank when it hits theaters Nov. 13.
