Why women fall for Pete Davidson

Pete Davidson, tall, damaged and, for the moment, heavily tattooed, is the unexpectedly hot leading man for our time.

Self-deprecating, usually stoned and admittedly mentally ill, he loves his mother and unapologetically embraces his outer-borough roots, trashed psyche and sickly body while in demand by a plethora of smoking women of all ages. Against all odds, he s a surprisingly gifted actor and hilarious comedian who s described himself in a standup routine as looking like a crack baby. A well-paid one.

Pete, 27, is riding his excessively modest schtick to star in the upcoming biopic about the late Joey Ramone, another tall, misunderstood and chronically ill soul who rose from Queens to the heights of New York City s punk rock scene before dying well before his time. He was a superstar who in his lifetime never had a monster record, good health or lasting love, but was adored by fans who empathized with his struggles. That s what I call type casting.

But it is Pete s busy and chaotic love life that s drawing even more attention than his acting roles or drug use, most recently with Kim Kardashian West who, at 41, is old enough to have babysat him. For a skinny guy who lost his firefighter dad on 9/11, suffers from Crohn s disease and, until recently, lived in his mom s basement on Staten Island, his appeal to desirable, famous and accomplished women is off the charts. Way to go, Pete!
