Pete Davidson is opening up more about his thoughts on becoming a father.
On August 6, Davidson appeared on an episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers to promote his new Prime Video movie, The Pickup. During the interview, Davidson opened up about becoming a dad. Last month, his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, revealed that the couple was expecting their first child.
“I’m stoked,” Davidson told Meyers. “I can’t wait. Let’s go.” He added, “I’m so excited. I’ve never been more excited for anything.”
When Meyers asked whether his The Pickup co-star Eddie Murphy had offered any parenting advice, Davidson replied, “Eddie was like, ‘I got no advice for you because you’re on your own.’ He was like, ‘You can’t tell anyone how to [be a father]. You’re gonna do your own thing.’”
Last month, Davidson also shared that Murphy told him, “It’s going to change your life and you’re going to love it, and I’ll know you’ll be good at it.’”
He received additional encouragement from his other co-star, Keke Palmer, who showed him how to balance parenthood with work. “What was cool is when we were doing The Pickup, Keke’s baby was just born,” Davidson said. “She had him on set the whole time. She would go into a take and then run over and play with the baby. It made me realize it’s possible to co-exist in both worlds. I was really impressed with her...the way she was parenting on set.”
