Pete Davidson has opened up about the struggles of dating famous people in Hollywood.
Whilst constantly dating beautiful women might not seem like the worst thing in the world, the SNL star insists that it's not what you think.
The comedian, 31, most recently dated Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline, and their relationship ended last summer.
"Now, over the last 6 months, I’m not dating," he told Page Six. "I’m starting to turn my life around."
Davidson - who has now removed almost all of his tattoos - says he's also on a deep cleanse from women, social media and drugs.

Explaining how difficult he's found dating famous women, the actor said: "It was pretty humiliating and upsetting, honestly.
"Everyone is dating everyone and it’s Hollywood. Look at Paul Mescal, Timmy [Chalamet], Barry Keoghan.
"But because I’m ugly, they wrote about me. I was harassed for like five years and it made my life a living hell.
"It’s embarrassing because you want people to write about your work.

"I was one of the youngest ever cast members on SNL and all that got pushed to the side because of who I was dating."

Davidson was briefly engaged to pop star and actor Ariana Grande for around four months in 2018.
"When we see each other, which is few and far between, because we’re not in the same circles, it’s all love," he explained, adding that he's rooting for her at the Oscars.
"I hope she wins the Oscar [for Wicked], I hope she takes the gold," Davidson continued.
"I’ve had some pretty adult relationships with some pretty amazing women, and when it’s ended it’s been cool."
Davidson was just seven years old when his father Scott Matthew Davidson, who was a firefighter during 9/11, died.
"I had someone in my family say something to me one of the last times I went away [to rehab]," he added.
"They said, ‘I’m so afraid to look at an article to see that you’re gone,’ and that kind of hit me in the balls.
"It made me be like, showbiz is not my life anymore. If I get to do it, great. But I’m someone’s son, brother, friend, grandson.
"That’s the most important thing and I lost sight of that. I got lost in the Hollywood bubble. Honestly, I think that people shouldn’t be able to become famous until they’re at least 30, when they’re ready and they know how to behave."
