Add BollywoodShaadis on GooglePete Davidson fans had to double-take his recent paparazzi photos after he debuted a new dramatic look on a movie set. The former Saturday Night Live alum was recently seen sporting long dark hair, curtain bangs, and striking blue eyes. It made him look almost unrecognizable. Needless to say, it sparked a lot of speculation, but the reason for the same is linked to his work.
Pete Davidson recently underwent a surprising makeover while filming his upcoming film on Tommy Pitera, also known as Tommy Karate on August 25, 2026. It was a complete turn from his signature short hair and casual appearance. However, he had to embrace the new look to play the real-life mobster Tommy Pitera.
The most noticeable aspect of his new transformation was the addition of bright blue contact lenses. Pete's clear blue eyes and long hairstyle gave a dark touch to the appearance. Some fans were even unable to recognize the actor, and his on-set photos immediately went viral.
Pete has complimented makeover with special training to fully portray the mobster, who was known for his martial arts skills and criminal activities. The film is based on his rise and eventual entanglement with law enforcement. It is safe to say that it would be one of the most dramatic roles played by Pete Davidson on the big screen.
Likewise, playing Tommy Karate is not another acting project for Pete. Instead, he previously shared that he had been working on bringing the project to life for more than three years. In fact, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the actor to move beyond comedy and pursue serious, character-driven roles.
In his words: "Tommy Karate is the greatest mob story never told." Justin Chon directs the upcoming film and will also feature Camila Mendes and Simon Rex. The filmmaker explained that the project is a fresh take on the gangster genre, focusing on Tommy's life and the real-world impact of his deeds, rather than merely recreating a typical crime movie.
Apart from Tommy Karate, Pete also has a busy schedule ahead. He began The Pete Davidson Show early in 2026. It was the actor's first original video podcast. The show has been filming in his home garage, where he has relaxed conversations with celebrity guests, showcasing his personal side.
At the same time, he was seen in The Pickup and Riff Raff. Pete is also gearing up for the release of That Time We Met, How to Rob a Bank, etc. This variety of roles reflects Pete's effort to move beyond his regular image as a stand-up comedian. Apart from acting, Pete is also the face of some important advertisement campaigns. He has worked with Amazon's Alexa+ and and Manscaped, and he serves as a Creative Director at the eco-friendly sock company Doblesoul.
Since Pete Davidson is a prominent personality in the entertainment industry, his personal life has not been far from social media discussions. Over the years, he has been speculated to be dating many popular celebrities, including Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski, Madelyn Cline, and more.
A few months ago, Pete welcomed a daughter, Scottie Rose, with model Elsie Hewitt, before ending their relationship. Initially, they claimed they would maintain a cooperative co-parenting relationship, but the mother later indirectly accused him of not helping her in the same way.
Pete Davidson has been vocal about the challenges of having his personal relationships make headlines. He explained that he would prefer more attention to his work, and it seems like his new photos are exactly doing the same.
