Pete Davidson on Scripting His Own Catharsis in 'The King of Staten Island' (Exclusive)
Pete Davidson is used to making fun of himself — whether it's peppering an interview with self-deprecating jokes or shrugging his way through good-natured anecdotes about drugs and therapy at 's desk. But in things are getting a little more serious.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 kind of feel a little bit misunderstood,» he admitted, «and I feel like, it's a really tricky situation, but I think what Judd and I and Dave Sirus did, I think hopefully it'll get that point across better.»«It's a love letter to pretty much my whole family,» he added.
