Pete Davidson Praises Eddie Murphy's Talent and Understanding
Pete Davidson expressed admiration for Eddie Murphy, his fellow “Saturday Night Live” alum and co-star in the 2025 film The Pickup. Davidson described Murphy as “infinitely more talented” and someone who truly understands what he is going through.
Shared Experiences and Connection
Davidson highlighted their similar backgrounds, noting:
“The thing that’s really cool about Eddie is we were both some of the youngest cast members ever. And we just have a lot of similarities in our personal lives too. Our fathers both passed when we were [young], … and it’s why we got into comedy.”
He added that Murphy's advice holds special value because they share a close age connection and similar life experiences:
“I’ve been in this business a long time, … and it’s nice to get advice from people, but no one gets it more than him, just in an age timeline. I’m not by any means saying that I did the same things as him, because he was infinitely more talented and did way more s–t than I did, but it’s nice to just get advice from someone who literally gets what I’m going through. It was really special, and I’m very lucky that I got to have that opportunity.”
