Pete Davidson, the 29-year-old comedian and Saturday Night Live alum, is opening up about some personal struggles he’s been facing. During a comedy show he performed with John Mulaney and Jon Stewart at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s Estes Arena in Atlantic City, New Jersey, he got candid with the audience and confirmed that he recently went to rehab.
In his characteristic straightforward and casual style, Pete Davidson addressed the crowd and said, “I am fresh out of rehab, everyone. I got that post-rehab glow. Seventh time’s the charm!” His humor clearly shone through, even when discussing a serious topic like rehab.
But Pete didn’t stop there. He also revealed that he had been using Ketamine daily for four years, a drug known for its mind-altering effects. He even referred to it as “magical.” In his usual comedic fashion, he quipped, “One time, I got The Wiggles to mesh with Schindler’s List.” It’s clear that Pete doesn’t shy away from sharing his experiences, even if they involve some unconventional choices.
As the audience listened intently, Pete didn’t hold back. He confessed that he was high when he attended Aretha Franklin’s funeral back in 2018, expressing disbelief at having been in public in that state. It’s moments like these that remind us that even celebrities have their moments of vulnerability and humor.
With his 30th birthday approaching in November, Pete Davidson shared his thoughts on drug use as you enter your thirties. In his candid words, he believes that “you can’t do drugs in your 30s” because “it’s not cute anymore.” He went on to say that when you’re still doing drugs at that age, “you’re just a drug addict.” It’s a sobering realization that highlights the importance of addressing such issues.
Pete’s willingness to openly discuss his experiences with rehab and drug use serves as a reminder that it’s okay to seek help and confront personal challenges. His humor, even in the face of adversity, shows that laughter can be a powerful way to cope and connect with others.
