Pete Davidson reveals how he inspired Alec Baldwin to shed some extra pounds.
The SNL star and comedian, 27, spoke to Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night’s episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" where he recalled a hilarious time when Baldwin, 63, approached him about his fitness routine after a sketch where Davidson had to perform shirtless, Yahoo News reported.
"I was on set and Alec was hosting and it was a sketch where I had to be shirtless. You know, I guess I'm a little bit cut or whatever... there's no nice way to say that," Davidson, 27, joked.
He continued, "So he came up to me and he was like, 'What do you do?' And I didn't want to be rude and say, 'I just still have a metabolism. I'm not in my mid-50s. I just wake up like this.' So to make him feel better, I said, 'Oh man, I do 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups every day.' And he was like, 'Got it.'"
Baldwin, who hosted SNL 17 times between 1990 and 2017, started seeing Davidson regularly while playing his hilarious character of former President Donald Trump.
"I would see him every week. And every time I'd run into him in the hall, he'd be like, '100 a day!'" Davidson laughed. "And he started to do it and he lost like 100 pounds. And he says it's all because of me."
Davidson recently made the news after announcing he was moving out of his mom's basement and into his own place.
“I just moved out of my mom’s house,” he said in an update that shook the foundation of the living-at-home-with-mom lore that he’s cultivated over the last couple years, and even inspired his autobiographical 2020 film “King of Staten Island.”
“I’m fully out. I got a pad.”
