NEW YORK (AP) — The first time Pete Davidson performed stand-up, he was 16. It was in front of a handful of people at a place called the Looney Bin Comedy Club in Staten Island. He describes it as inside a bowling alley and a Wendy’s and across the street from an LA Fitness.
戴维森说：“这是我听过的最史坦顿岛的东西。”“我记得什么时候进展不顺利，你会听到人们打保龄球，罢工和备受障碍。”
作为“星期六夜现场”的杰出表演者，也是贾德·阿帕托（Judd Apatow）的新星“史坦顿岛的国王”这位26岁的戴维森通常能够从更高的鲈鱼中反思那些不起眼的起源。但是由于大流行 - 并且由于锁定开始时他即将搬家，因此他回到了母亲在史坦顿岛的房子里，住在地下室。
“This is my basement but it’s also my bedroom, which is even more embarrassing,” says Davidson, smiling on a recent interview by Zoom with his bed in the background.
戴维森（Davidson）与Apatow和Dave Sirus共同撰写《史泰登岛之王》（The Staten Island）以来，这是戴维森（Davidson）的讽刺场所，从他在妈妈的地下室里玩电子游戏开始。这部电影是关于他离开沙发的，勉强地做出自己的事情，并在父亲的死亡中找到了一些和平。
From the start, Davidson’s gleefully squirm-inducing comedy has been open and self-referential. The first joke he ever told onstage was about when he asked for a car and his mom said he could have a Mongoose. “I got really excited because I thought it was like a German car,” he says. “I thought it was like a Kia Mongoose.”
In appearances on Weekend Update, he often uses his own life for punchlines, self-deprecatingly and bemusedly drawing on the media coverage that has followed him through mental health issues anda high-profile romance与流行歌手Ariana Grande。
And yet Davidson feels widely misunderstood. “The King of Staten Island may change that. The movie, he says, “is 100% me.”
戴维森说：“我个人认为人们对我的身份不太了解，这就是这部电影对我如此重要和珍爱的另一个原因。”“这是我可能的透明，诚实和开放的。我希望如果您看到它，也许您会看到我在自己身上看到的东西。”
环球影业将发布“史坦顿岛之王”，originally slated to open the SXSW Film Festival，在戏剧播放后的周五通过按需was cancelled by the pandemic.
The movie is heavily based on Davidson’s own life. His character is struggling with the death of his father, a firefighter who died in the line of duty. When Davidson was 7, his firefighter father, Scott, died on Sept. 11. In the film, Davidson’s feelings of heartache and anger are challenged when his mother (Marisa Tomei) begins dating a firefighter (Bill Burr).
“It’s something that’s been weighing on my chest for a very long time,” says Davidson. “It allowed me to heal on a personal level. My main goal in doing this was to grow out of it.”
阿帕托（Apatow）是“ 40岁的处女”和“ Funny People”的电影制片人，他与艾米·舒默（Amy Schumer）一起制作2015年的“ Trainwreck”时，首先与戴维森（Davidson）结识。阿帕托（Apatow）为塞思·罗根（Seth Rogen）（“敲打”）和莉娜·邓纳姆（Lena Dunham）（“女孩”）的职业生涯，但戴维森（Davidson）看似缺乏的，发育不良的成熟版本比他以前的合作者更明显地受伤。
At Schumer’s urging, Apatow gave Davidson a small role in “Trainwreck.” Then they began kicking around movie ideas.
他们的第一批剧本之一，一部大学喜剧，陷入困境。“皮特没去过大学，我只呆了18个月，”他在洛杉矶的家中笑着说。然后他们朝着更个人化的事情迈进。
阿帕托说：“我们说，‘让我们制作一部关于他角色妈妈约会消防员的电影，’我们知道我们必须解决一切。”
Davidson hasn’t avoided his father in his comedy. In his recent Netflix comedy special“从纽约活着”，he recalls learning his dad did cocaine. “I knew he was a hero,” he says with a grin. “But I didn’t know he was a superhero.”
And the comedian had contemplating mounting a one-man show about his father. Instead, “The King of Staten Island” became his autobiographical outlet. They took it slowly. The writing, Apatow could tell, was cathartic.
“Pete had to write scenes from the point of view of other people. If he was writing a scene with him confronting his mom, he had to write in her voice and he had to write in his sister’s voice,” says Apatow. “I think that allowed him to see himself in a new way.”
Davidson could have been seen by some as a risky bet. In 2018, a troubling Instagram message促使警察访问“ SNL”办公室。但是阿帕托（Apatow）认为，戴维森（Davidson）也应该是电影的制片人，使他对整个场景负责。
“I’ve been through a lot and to have someone believe in you and still have your back even when it might not be popular to do so, it really means the world to me,” says Davidson. “I’ll never forget that.”
对于那些从小报中了解他的人来说，“史坦顿岛的国王”肯定会揭示与戴维森的不同一面。它具有尽可能多的情感痛苦和温柔的家庭戏剧，与杂草烟雾和男孩笑话一样。像戴维森一样，这充满了生活的混乱。
戴维森（Davidson）高高又笨拙，戴着沉没的眼睛，被纹身覆盖。他实际上是一本开放的书，尽管所有墨水也可以像面具一样工作。但是他认为两个是他最重要的：他的徽章号码为8418，手臂上纹身，还有一个带有343的消防头盔，供9/11死亡的消防员人数。
他说：“他们对我来说很康复。”“家庭家伙”的Stewie在他的手和脖子上。戴维森耸耸肩。他说：“我是一个冲动的人。”“你只是学习。”
