Pete Davidson had no idea ho" tough" a career in showbiz would be.
The 31-year-old comedian first found fame when he joined 'Saturday Night Live' in 2014 and felt "so sad" upon rewatching his original audition as he admitted that he "picked the wrong business" to go into because of the way he feels about his mental health now.
He told PageSix: "The innocence in my eyes made me so sad. Showbiz is so tough, and I didn’t know how tough it was. I picked the wrong business to have a mental illness and go into. I’m one of the most insecure and sad people ever, and I picked the most insecure, sad business to go into."
The 'Dog Man' star reflected on the obvious age gap between himself and his castmates at the time, and recalled simply "hanging out" with show creator Lorne Michaels behind the scenes.
He said: "Everyone was 10-plus years older than me and I had a hard time fitting in. No one was mean, but there was an age difference. They were getting married, and having kids and I was like, ‘Do you guys want to come over to play video games?!’ So I hung out with Lorne."
Pete attained an even wider level of fame when he dated Kim Kardashian following her split from Kanye West, and prior to that was briefly engaged to 'Wicked' star Ariana Grande.
He said: "When we see each other, which is few and far between, because we’re not in the same circles, it’s all love.
"I’ve had some pretty adult relationships with some pretty amazing women, and when it’s ended it’s been cool.
"When [Ariana and I] see each other, which is few and far between, because we’re not in the same circles, it’s all love. hope she wins the Oscar, I hope she takes the gold."
