Pete Davidson Attempts to Break the Internet with Wild Paper Mag Cover
READ TIME: 2 MIN.
Pete Davidson transformed himself into a naked doll for Paper magazine's "Break the Internet" issue (yes, the same feature from 2014 where Kim Kardashian went mega-viral for her photo).
The feature also includes a sprawling interview in which the "Saturday Night Live" star talks about his career, personal life, being a supporter of LGBTQ rights and...masturbating to Leonardo DiCaprio.
"I find it super weird that it's weird that a straight dude has gay friends... like, some straight dudes do have gay friends, but like they make like a big show of it as opposed to them genuinely being a friend...," he said of being a LGBTQ ally.
When asked if "some pop stars use gay people," Davidson, who infamously had a whirlwind romance and engagement to Ariana Grande, said: "Yeah. I really feel like I have to be careful when I'm saying this, but I do feel like a lot of women in entertainment use gay men as props."
"If you really listen to any of the songs that they're doing, or any of the things that they're doing, it's to promote them[selves]," the actor added. "It's rarely for the LGBT community. It's to make them look good. Like, how cool they are that they're hanging out with gay people."
Elsewhere in the Paper mag interview, Davidson revealed he "used to jerk off to Leonardo DiCaprio...Uhh, like his acting."
"I used to have a HUGE crush on Leonardo DiCaprio," he said. "I had this huge poster of him from 'The Beach' in my room, and there used to be, like, 'Leo love books'... Do you remember? Like, right when 'Titanic' came out [when I was] in like third or fourth grade, he was just like, 'teen milk.' There were love books and I had all of them. He was the coolest."
