PETE Davidson has vowed to turn his back on being a celebrity and wants to ditch his “loser” image as he continues with his journey of sobriety.
Pete, 31, says he is “over” being famous and no longer wants to be known as a “loser who just dates people.”
Since finding fame, Pete has had a very long string of high-profile celebrity relationships.
He credits Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, Chase Sui Wonders and Kaia Gerber as his exes.
Pete has also previously been romantically linked to Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley and Phoebe Dynevor.
But as he plans his future following his summer rehab stint and while working on his mental health, Pete no longer wants to be known for his past conquests.
Speaking to W magazine Pete touched upon his new attitude to life and said he was “hit in the face with the Hollywood shovel,” which he insists he “needed.”
Pete went on, “I just want to be known for doing good work.
“I want to be out there only when it’s movie, stand-up, charity, or business ventures. That’s when I want to be seen.
“I don’t want to be this f***ing loser who just dates people. That’s not who I am. But people hate celebrities now.”
REHAB STINTS
In July, Pete checked himself back into a wellness facility after canceling a few of his stand-up comedy gigs scheduled for the summer.
The decision came roughly one year after the Bupkis star last entered rehab in June 2023.

Pete, who has been open about his mental health struggles in recent years, displayed some erratic behavior before entering the facility.
A source told The U.S. Sun that he had also been stepping away from the lives of many of his close friends.
“Pete has pretty much gotten rid of everyone who once surrounded him,” the insider claimed.
PICKY PETE
Earlier this month, we revealed how Pete is regularly being offered TV and movie roles but is “taking time” over his choices.
Another insider explained, “He’s being smart about it.
“If he rushed to work right after rehab, it would be like, ‘Was he really even taking this seriously?’
“He’s putting himself right in the middle of it. He’s actually treating the situation, in the way people in his life had hoped he would.
“He could be doing more roles, but he wasn’t in the right frame of mind to take them at the time.”
The insider claims despite the career pause, Pete has a bright future in Hollywood.
“The fact is, he’s in a good place and he’s at an age where he still has a lot of runway ahead of him,” they added.
“This is a guy who is both complicated, but yet very simple. He had his issues, and now he is working his way through them.”

“He has a therapist in Florida who works on processing traumatic memories and dealing with PTSD,” one source explained, adding that Pete travels into the state to see his therapist on a “regular basis for treatment.”
The source said that while The King of Staten Island star insisted he is still “clean and in a good headspace” despite his visit.
