But now I’m at a place where I’ll do other shows, and you come in and they have stuff written for you, and all the dialogue is like, ‘I’m a big f–kin’ idiot!

Hey, let’s smoke a doobie! Aw yeah!’ Every joke is just like, ‘Well, you know me, I’m a big f–kin’ idiot!’” Pete went on to say that he hopes people start to take him more seriously, noting that he’s “done, like a lot of s–t” and isn’t just “a big f–king dummy.” He added, “I’m trying to find the healthy balance between, ‘Ooh that’s nice, he’s confident and not, like, ew,’ you know, but still has some sort of humbleness.

Because I think I’ll always be sort of humble and self-deprecating, but I don’t want people to think I’m a f–king idiot.” Pete also recently made some comments about his past relationships with Kate Beckinsale, Kaia Gerber and more.
