Pete Davidson Admits He Was Concerned About Not Being a 'Very Good' Comedian After Getting Sober
Pete Davidson worried his comedic chops weren't up to snuff after getting sober. When asked if there difference in performing standing since getting sober on the July 22 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the Saturday Night Live alum, 31, was quick to respond, 'Oh, yeah.' 'That's what I was nervous about because I was like maybe I'm not very good, or maybe I was so high, I thought I was good,' he admitted. Host Jimmy Fallon teased, 'You were like, 'I want to see if I really did this?' I have pictures, but I don't know.' The comedian — who stars in the new movie, — revealed his concerns were unfounded. 'I'm weirdly sharper and more aware, so it's more fun,' he shared. 'Enjoying it more,' Fallon added, to which Davidson said, 'Yeah, when people laugh, you feel it as opposed to just sitting… so high, sitting there.' In January, a source told PEOPLE that Davidson had 'been sober since September [2024], and gained twenty pounds.' 'Things are going really well for him,' the insider said, adding, 'Things are heading in the right direction.' Davidson previously checked into a wellness facility in July 2024 after also seeking treatment to address issues related to PTSD and borderline personality disorder in 2023. The source added Davidson has spent $200,000 to undergo the process of having his multiple tattoos removed from his body as part of his transformation. 'He just woke up one day and wanted them gone, and it's been a years-long process,' the source said of the procedure. During an appearance on Today the same month, Davidson — who started the long-term journey of removing his tattoos in 2020 — explained that his decision to get sober fueled his desire to change his appearance. "I got sober and I saw myself in the mirror and I was like, 'Nah. Who that?' I was like, 'I got to change it up a little bit.'" Davidson and his girlfriend Elsie Hewitt announced another major change coming in their lives: the pair are expecting their first child. Hewitt shared a series of snapshots on Instagram, including a couple of shots of her with the 31-year-old comedian, a sonogram snap and memes from Love Island USA's latest season and Spongebob Squarepants. She also included a clip of the moment the couple saw their little one. "Welp now everyone knows we had sex," she joked. A source previously confirmed to PEOPLE that the pair were dating in March after they were spotted together in Palm Beach, Florida. In photos of their beach date, the couple was seen swimming in the ocean and sharing a smooch in the water.

"They're splitting their time between Pete's house in upstate New York and a brownstone they recently started renting in Brooklyn." "They're so happy together and doing great," the insider added.
