Pete Davidson made a rare public appearance on Wednesday after a long rehab stint over the summer.
During one of his first public outings since he sought mental health treatment, he debuted a glowing new look and appeared to have removed his sleeves of tattoos.
It’s the first time he has been seen in public since may.
Davidson, 30, joined Machine Gun Kelly at the Los Angeles Clippers’ opening game at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
The comedian, 30, paid tribute to his late father and wore a sentimental shirt in honor of the New York City firefighter, who died heroically saving others in the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001.
The Saturday Night Live alum — whose famous ex-girlfriends, Ariana Grande and Kim Kardashian, recently spent time together at the reality star’s house — sported a red FDNY T-shirt with the organization’s logo and ‘Fire Dept. [City] of New York’ across the front.
Davidson was only seven years old when his late father, New York City firefighter Scott Matthew Davidson, passed away.
His rare outing comes months after he checked into a wellness facility to seek mental health treatment in late July.
The news came after DailyMail.com exclusively revealed the Bupkis star admitted he was still using marijuana after quitting both cocaine and ketamine.
The rehab stint came after Davidson completed more than 200 live stand-up comedy shows across the country.
At the time, an insider told People that mental health has ‘always been a priority’ for him.
A separate source also told the outlet: ‘Pete will often check himself into rehab to work on these issues. His friends and family have been supportive during this time.’
He was last pictured hanging out with Machine Gun Kelly in Los Angeles in early May, and it appeared he recently completed his inpatient treatment.
Around the same time last year, Davidson also went to a rehabilitation center to treat issues related to his post-traumatic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder diagnoses, both of which he previously opened up about in the past.
In 2020, Davidson starred in The King of Staten Island, a semi-autobiographical film that draws upon his struggles of coping with grief and his own childhood experiences of losing his father after 9/11.
He co-wrote the comedic drama alongside director-producer Judd Apatow and comedian Dave Sirus, basing the story partly on his own past.
In the film, which was directed by Judd Apatow, Davidson stars as Scott Carlin, a young man who spends his 20s smoking and drinking to cope with losing his father.
The story mirrors Davidson’s own life with how he decides to pursue a career in comedy.
The King of Staten Island was released in June 12, 2020 and is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
