Pete Davidson was born in Staten Island, New York, something he later explored in the semi-autobiographical flick “The King of Staten Island.” According to Life & Style, the future star’s mother worked as a high school nurse, while his father Scott, a firefighter, tragically lost his life in the line of duty during the September 11, 2001 attacks, when Davidson was just 7 years old.
The comedian embarked on a career in comedy even before he had earned his high school diploma, and at age 16, he did his first standup show at a Staten Island bowling alley. When asked about it, he told SFGate: “My friends dared me. They knew I always wanted to do it. And then I wasn’t going to do it. And then I smoked a joint and I did it. It went all right. I got the bug where I just needed to be an attention w***e for 12 minutes a day every day.”
