Pete Davidson has us all shook up with his NSFW PAPER magazine cover shoot.
Posing in the nude, the comedian has been transformed into a Ken doll, and there’s not a plastic penis insight.
The publication joked with the star about his ‘big d*ck energy’ – although there’s very little to see here, and it turns out he thinks the whole concept is weird.
‘You’re this sexual icon for people,’ they told him before waiting on a response.
The 26-year-old replied: ‘OH!! Well, that’s what people said…’
Telling Pete how he’s the reason BDE exists, the Saturday Night Live star smirked: ‘I think it’s very… weird. I don’t really pay attention to it.
‘But I do know that [the gaze] is either, “Ye-YESSS!” or “F**K NO!” There’s no happy medium with me, which I think is really fun.’
He added: ‘When enough people call you ugly, it definitely gets to you. For me, personally, I can’t block that stuff out.’
‘That’s why I had to get rid of the internet and stuff. But you definitely have to get to a place where you’re just like, “This is how I look. Alright.” You know?’
Yet, even though he’s an apparent sex icon, it turns out Pete has his own man crush.
‘Well, I used to jerk off to Leonardo DiCaprio… Uhh, like his acting,’ he joked: ‘I used to have a HUGE crush on Leonardo DiCaprio. I had this huge poster of him from The Beach in my room, and there used to be, like, “Leo love books”… Do you remember?’
Last year, Pete deleted his social media accounts after the break down of his engagement to Ariana Grande.
This isn’t the first time he has spoken out about his decision to remove himself from the platform as he previously told Variety: ‘Yeah, I can’t go on there for obvious reasons.’
The funnyman then offered some friendly advice for young fans who may be feeling the pressures of social media.
He added: ‘Just don’t go online. I don’t think online’s good. It doesn’t make me very happy. If I’m having a good day and I go online, it immediately just [makes me sad].
‘Even if it’s not about me, it’s random s**t like, “Trump f**ts.” I’m not a fan of it.’
