Pete Davidson is releasing his latest movie ‘The King of Staten Island’. Davidson, a co-writer of the film, was inspired to create a bittersweet comedy revolving around his own life’s story and childhood experiences after losing his father during September 11. The movie is set to release on demand on June 12.
Watch the trailer here.
To promote the movie, Davidson and director Judd Apatow tuned in to speak with Jimmy Fallon about their experience making the film and what inspired them to make it. Davidson shared, “it’s pretty much like, it’s all fake, but it’s also pretty much true. It’s pretty much, like, my life if I didn’t find comedy. Like, my dad passed away in it, and my mom’s a nurse, and we really wanted to make a movie about it. It just shows how it hurts this family. And we wanted to show how, you know, wonderful all these firemen and nurses are. And I think we did that.”
