Personal Trainer
Pete looks shredded and always had a visible six pack throughout his late teens and early 20s. But he is also extremely thin for a tall guy. His body is not a by-product of spending time in the gym. In fact, his father’s early death in 2001 drove him towards depression in his teens. To make it worse, he was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease when he was 17, which gave him intense stomach pains to the point he could not eat any food.
Comedy standup became a healthy outlet to vent his emotions for Davidson, but so did getting high. He started smoking marijuana at the age of 15 and usually smoked weed before performing any stand-up act.
Ever since he started dating Cazzie David, he became a happier person and started making a conscious effort to make healthier choices. He looks a lot less gaunt and pale since he first became a part of SNL in 2014 and has even started working out regularly with his girlfriend.
In March 2017, Pete posted a picture of himself on Instagram with a visibly fuller face and body next to a cup of coffee revealing that he is finally sober and quit drugs for the first time in 8 years. It remains to be seen how he takes care of his fitness from there on.
