If there’s one thing Pete Davidson takes seriously, it’s his role as a dad.
The Saturday Night Live alum—who shares 9-month-old daughter Scottie Rose with ex Elsie Hewitt—shared how becoming a father has changed his outlook on his career.
“My priorities have shifted in just that becoming a dad is great for so many reasons,” Davidson exclusively told E! News in a joint interview with Colin Jost at the Snapple Island Ferry Comedy Show Sept. 17, “but it just made me realize the stuff that I cared about so much don’t actually matter.”
“Now the priority is if I don’t get that whatever job or whatever, who cares?” the comedian continued. “I get to be home with Scottie. That’s awesome.”
In fact, the 32-year-old has noticed that that fatherhood has had a profound effect on his general disposition.
“It’s calmed [me] down,” he said. “My eagerness to like—I don’t know—be out there very much. I’m just happy where I am.”
Jost—who shares son Cosmo, 5, with wife Scarlett Johansson—quickly followed Davidson’s comments up by joking, “Counterpoint: Kids will drag you down. Ditch them. Follow your dreams.”
