Pete Davidson Praises Eddie Murphy’s Talent and Understanding
Pete Davidson expressed great admiration for fellow “Saturday Night Live” alum and co-star Eddie Murphy in the 2025 comedy “The Pickup.” The actor described Murphy as “infinitely more talented” and someone who truly understands his experiences.
Shared Experiences and Mutual Understanding
Davidson highlighted their similarities, including both being among the youngest cast members on “Saturday Night Live” and having lost their fathers at a young age, which influenced their paths into comedy.
“The thing that’s really cool about Eddie is we were both some of the youngest cast members ever. And we just have a lot of similarities in our personal lives too. Our fathers both passed when we were [young], … and it’s why we got into comedy.”
He emphasized the value of receiving advice from someone who shares a similar age and life timeline.
“I’ve been in this business a long time, … and it’s nice to get advice from people, but no one gets it more than him, just in an age timeline. I’m not by any means saying that I did the same things as him, because he was infinitely more talented and did way more s–t than I did, but it’s nice to just get advice from someone who literally gets what I’m going through. It was really special, and I’m very lucky that I got to have that opportunity.”
Working on “The Pickup” Film
Reflecting on their collaboration in the Tim Story-directed film, Davidson called the experience “a blast” and shared how surreal it felt.
“If ten-year-old Pete knew that this would happen, he’d be like, ‘Oh my God.’ It was one of those I couldn’t believe, and I still can’t believe it.”
Murphy and Davidson teamed up this year for the comedy heist movie “The Pickup.”
Summary
Pete Davidson values Eddie Murphy’s rare combination of exceptional talent and shared life experiences, making their mentorship and collaboration especially meaningful.
