Pete Davidson strips off to unveil transformation after style overhaul

It’s Pete Davidson as we’ve never seen him – the comedian stripping down to his underwear to show off his incredible clean cut transformation.

Pete Davidson has spent the last several years removing his nearly 200 tattoos — and now, he’s ready to show off his clean slate.

The former SNL cast member has fronted fashion designer Reformation’s latest campaign, showing off his buff new bod in boxer briefs.

Davidson, 31, has largely stepped away from the spotlight over the past year, where he’s clearly embarked on an aesthetic overhaul.

Now, Davidson is in his comeback era, after he began the painful process of scrubbing his body of all ink last year.

In December, he was named creative director of Doublesoul, a funky sock line, which allowed him to reflect on his formerly flashy fashion sense.

“I got into the public eye when I was really young, like 19, 20. At that time, you don’t know. You see all these rappers with designer s**t, and you think you’re a rapper, but you’re actually a comedian,” Davidson said in an interview.

“If you Google any picture of me from ages 20 to 27, it’s purple shirts, fedoras, all these chains, and f**king dumb Rolexes.”

He continued, “It doesn’t look cool at all. But I’m very fortunate that I’m 31 now. Looking back, I’m lucky that I finally woke up.”

And while Davidson also declared he doesn’t want to be known for his high-profile girlfriends — like Ariana Grande, Kate Beckinsale, Kim Kardashian and Phoebe Dynevor — we wouldn’t be surprised if the new Pete attracts even more attention.

On the career front, Davidson has three new projects in the pipeline, including the film Wizards!, which was shot in Queensland, Australia back in 2022.
