Pete Davidson believes he's such a hot topic regarding celebrity love all because of his "ugly" looks.

In an exclusive interview with Page Six, Davidson reflected on his love life and how his name constantly makes headlines whenever he's dating someone new.

According to Davidson, the only reason that happens is because of his looks, as he doesn't fit Hollywood's typical handsome man image, and he suffered personally because of it.

"Everyone is dating everyone, and it's Hollywood," Davidson told the outlet. "Look at Paul Mescal, Timmy [Chalamet], Barry Keough. But because I'm ugly, they wrote about me. I was harassed for like five years, and it made my life a living hell."

He added that the whole experience was "pretty humiliating" and "upsetting," and he explained how his dating life overshadowed his comedy career.

"[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," said Davidson.

Over the years, Davidson has dated some of the most attractive women in Hollywood, including Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski, and more. With each of these relationships, Davidson became a tabloid fixture as people were intrigued by the seemingly odd pairings.

In a conversation with W Magazine last year, the Saturday Night Live alum revealed he doesn't want to be known as the guy who goes around dating everyone.

"I just want to be known for doing good work. I want to be out there only when it's [a] movie, stand-up, charity, or business ventures," said Davidson. "That's when I want to be seen. I don't want to be this fucking loser who just dates people. That's not who I am."

Pete Davidson has been making headlines recently for his changing looks, as he’s been burning off his tattoos, one by one. Earlier this month, the Dog Man star appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers, where he shared plans to remove his "dumbest" tattoos by 40 years old.
