This Viral Video Of Pete Davidson's "New" Body Shows What He Really Looks Like In The Middle Of Removing Nearly 200 Tattoos
While appearing on The Tonight Show last month, he opened up about "burning" off nearly 200 of his tattoos, saying most have been removed.
"They gotta burn off a layer of your skin, and then it has to heal for six to eight weeks and you can't get in the sunlight. And then you gotta do it, like, 12 more times. So really think about that Game of Thrones tattoo," he said.
A few days later, Pete also chatted with Seth Meyers on Late Night about the process, saying he didn't know how long it would take.
"Like, when I'm 40, it'll all be gone, like the chest and the back,' he said.
Then Pete all but broke the internet ahead of Valentine's Day when he stripped down to his underwear for a campaign with lifestyle brand Reformation.
In the campaign photos, Pete showed off his upper body without the many tattoos that he's become well-known for having.
For reference, here's Pete with all his tattoos in 2019 on the set of his film The King of Staten Island.
Well, it seems Pete is still in the process of removing many of the tattoos and hasn't actually gotten rid of most across his chest.
Pete revived his Saturday Night Live character Chad for a digital short as part of the long-running series' 50th anniversary celebration on Sunday.
In a video short alongside original cast member Laraine Newman, Pete is seen shirtless, which reveals he's still got a good bulk of his tattoos.
As you can see, most of his tattoos on his arms have been removed, but many still remain on his chest.

Peter Dinklage Unveils His 'Mop-Wielding Superhero' in 'The Toxic Avenger Unrated' Preview at Comic-Con
Peter Dinklage and Elijah Wood are bringing toxicity to San Diego Comic-Con. Kicking off the first day of the convention in famed Hall H on Thursday, July 24, filmmakers behind The Toxic Avenger Unrated (in theaters Aug. 29) treated fans to an early glimpse of the long-awaited superhero reboot. Dinklage, 56, who plays janitor Winston Gooze and voices the titular mutant vigilante he becomes after a poisonous freak accident, took the stage alongside costars Wood, 44, Jacob Tremblay and Taylour Paige, as well as writer-director Macon Blair and producer Lloyd Kaufman. Dinklage called taking on the iconic and slimy role of "mop-wielding superhero" Toxie 'an easy yes' thanks to a personal hero: filmmaker and fellow panelist Kaufman, who created the original Toxic Avenger film of 1984, set in Dinklage's native New Jersey. 'Environmental concerns are an ongoing thing, now more than ever," said the Game of Thrones Emmy winner. "The great way to get into that is through satire, through the backdoor, through humor.' Dinklage also said he was a 'huge fan' of Blair. 'This just felt so perfect and necessary and needed.' Wood's appearance in the new Toxic Avenger as Fritz Garbinger shocked fans when the film's trailer premiered in September 2023. Following a Fantastic Fest premiere that year, Blair's film was stalled due to difficulties in securing a distributor. Cineverse and Iconic Events Releasing will release an unrated version of the film beginning Aug. 29. 'There's a beating heart in there,' said Wood when asked about playing the apparently villainous Fritz. Overall, he added, 'I love the horror genre because of the possibilities. This movie is filled to the brim with ideas, and fun and playing with the medium.' When asked for the most charming thing about the movie, Paige, 34, quipped, 'That I'm in it.' The actress also gave the disclaimer that as a new mother she's 'three months postpartum... I can't put sentences together.' Tremblay, 18, plays Winston's sulky son Wade. His character's feelings toward his onscreen father differed from how he felt about Dinklage, he said, explaining, "I had to hold it together and just pretend I didn't absolutely love this guy.' Dinklage returned the favor, calling the cast 'top-knotch," including his body double, Luisa Guerreiro, who plays Toxie in a suit of prosthetics. "Over 70% of my performance is not me,' he explained. 'For me, that was an exercise in trust, in relinquishing something that was important to me… [Guerreiro] studied all my movements like a hawk and does a better me than I do.'

The 1984 Toxic Avenger film, starring Mark Torgl in the lead role, was followed by three sequels, as well as a brief animated children's TV show, a stage musical, a video game and a Marvel comic. The Toxic Avenger Unrated, costarring Julia Davis, Jonny Coyne and Kevin Bacon, is in theaters Aug. 29. San Diego Comic-Con 2025 runs July 24 to 27. Read the original article on People

Hulk Hogan dies: The rise and fall of a wrestling icon
Hulk Hogan, who died Thursday at 71, was a star in pro wrestling, perhaps the star, through its two biggest popularity booms in the mid 1980s and the late 1990s. But after being the biggest star in, there was a lot of controversy along the way and his career ended in a hail of boos. Hogan burst onto the scene in the 1982 movie 'Rocky III,' where he played a pro wrestler called Thunderlips, who was taking on Rocky Balboa in a match for charity. He appeared on 'The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson' and caught the eye of Vince McMahon, who was planning on buying the then-World Wrestling Federation from his father and taking it nationwide, He was looking for a star to build the promotion around. Hogan was wrestling for the American Wrestling Assn. and was growing frustrated that they never gave him the promotion's championship, which usually led to making more money. McMahon bought the WWF and started poaching talent from around the country. Hogan signed in late 1983, breaking his AWA contract and no-showing several dates. McMahon quickly put the championship on Hogan, who came into the ring to the song 'Real American,' tore off his T-shirt, told his fans to 'train, say your prayers and take your vitamins,' and vowed to defeat the heel of the month because 'Whatcha gonna do, King Kong Bundy or Paul Orndorff or Kamala or Roddy Piper, when Hulk Hogan and Hulkamania run wild on you.' It was a formula for success for many years, lifting pro wrestling to the mainstream with appearances on MTV and NBC, where WWF filled in for 'Saturday Night Live' every six weeks and drew better ratings, all with Hogan headlining. In 1989, Hogan tried to branch off into movies, produced by McMahon. They all flopped. 'No Holds Barred.' 'Suburban Commando.' 'Mr. Nanny.' The persona that worked so well in the ring did not translate onto the big screen like it later did for wrestling stars such as Dwayne Johnson and Dave Bautista. In 1991, Dr. George Zahorian III was convicted of illegally supplying anabolic steroids. Zahorian also served as the ringside doctor for WWF matches in Pennsylvania. At his trial, it was revealed that Zahorian had supplied steroids to the WWF and its wrestlers. Hogan, hoping to end discussion that he was on steroids, appeared on 'Arsenio Hall' in 1992 and said that he has only used steroids on three occasions, all under doctor's care to rehabilitate muscle injuries. The outcry was immediate, with wrestlers coming out to says Hogan was lying. Fans, who could see how well-built these stars were, were disillusioned that Hogan would lie. His popularity began to wane and he began to get booed at some appearances. Hogan took a leave of absence from the company. A much-smaller Hogan returned in 1993 to team with his friend Brutus Beefcake to take on Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster at WrestleMania in Las Vegas. Little did fans know that the plan was for Hogan to end the show as champion once again. When Hogan came out to aid Bret Hart, who had just lost his title to Yokozuna due to having salt thrown in his eyes, Yokozuna's manager, Mr. Fuji, made an impromptu challenge to Hogan to wrestle him for the title 'right now.' Hogan won the title in about one minute. However, Hogan and McMahon has miscalculated the public's desire to see Hogan again, especially in the top spot. The reaction was lukewarm at best and Hogan made sporadic appearances until losing the title to Yokozuna that summer. Hogan left WWF and started wrestling in Japan. In 1994, Hogan signed with the now-World Wrestling Entertainment's main rival, World Championship Wrestling. He lifted the profile of the company and drew several strong pay-per-view buy rates, but at live shows, fans seemed to be tiring of the trademark red and yellow gear and Hulkamania. WCW's popularity was on the decline again when it was time for something no one thought they would ever see. Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, two of WWE's biggest stars, had signed with WCW and presented themselves as 'invaders from a big wrestling company up north.' Fans had been dying to see a feud between WWE and WCW, and Nash and Hall, under the guidance of booker Eric Bischoff, were hinting that that was happening. They promised to unveil a mystery third man at the July 1996 'Bash at the Beach' show. Nash and Hall came to the ring without the third man at that event, promising their ally would be along soon. They started wrestling Sting, Lex Luger and Randy Savage and cheated to get the upper hand, knocking Luger out and injuring Sting. They were about to destroy Savage, when Hogan walked out in the red and yellow gear. Here to save the day again. The crowd was shocked when Hogan turned on Savage and announced himself as the third man. He told the fans they could go to hell. Fans began pelting the ring with garbage as Hogan announced the formation of the New World Order. The next week, Hogan, now wearing black and white, got pelted with garbage again. But the heel turn worked. WCW began beating WWE in the ratings for the first time. Pro wrestling was on another hot streak, being watched by more people each week (around 13 million) than at any time in history. The hot streak lasted until 1998, when fans grew tied of the NWO. Hogan left WCW in 2000. He returned to WWE briefly and had a memorable WrestleMania match with The Rock, before leaving again in a money dispute. Hogan made appearances with other wrestling companies after that, and even returned to WWE to be inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2005 and had what turned out to be his final match for WWE in 2007. He was signed by the TNA promotion after that to put them on the map, but never really gained any traction there. In July 2015, many media outlets ran excerpt of racial slurs made by Hogan on a leaked sex tape recorded in 2007. In the recording, he is heard expressing disgust if his daughter ever dated a Black man, hoping that he would at least be a basketball player worth millions, dropped a racial slur toward Black people repeatedly and said he was 'a racist, to a point.' Once the recordings went public, the outrage was immediate. Hogan apologized, saying he used 'language that is offensive and inconsistent with my own beliefs.' WWE removed him from its Hall of Fame and terminated the legends contract with him, though Hogan always maintained he resigned. Mattel stopped production of all toys featuring Hogan. His public appearances were few and far between and not well-received. Hogan gave an interview on ABC in which he asked for forgiveness, saying his racism was learned from his neighborhood while growing up in Tampa, Fla., and that racial slurs were commonly used there. Not many believed him. Three years later, Hogan appeared backstage at a WWE event to give an apology to the wrestlers for his remarks. Afterward, several wrestlers expressed disappointment with Hogan, saying he didn't apologize for the remarks but warned them instead to be careful what they say because someone could be taping them without their knowledge. The WWE reinstated him to the Hall of Fame. Hogan began appearing on WWE shows again, but there were almost always pretaped appearances. He hosted WrestleMania 37 in 2021, and was booed. His final live appearance was Jan. 6 this year, when he appeared on the first 'Monday Night Raw' on Netflix. It was at the Inuit Dome, and when Hogan came out, he was booed strongly by the crowd. Hogan seemed caught off guard, and after plugging his new beer, went backstage. He blamed the booing on his support for Donald Trump, even though others on the show who also support Trump weren't booed when they appeared. It was a sad ending for a man who make pro wrestling what it is today. What will Hulk Hogan be remembered for 50 years from now? It would be interesting to hop in a time machine and find out.
