Manscaping and a Murder Mystery: The Week in Pete Davidson

What isn’t Pete up to?

It’s been a real corporeal week for Pete Davidson—even if that has more or less been his media-bestowed M.O. since 2018. He’s been a fixture in the digital news landscape ever since, but that’s been especially true this week…and it’s only Wednesday. Pete’s bod is, once again, everywhere.

Yesterday, Davidson was announced as “the new face, among other parts” of the very lad-centric grooming company Manscaped, thus kicking off, according to AdWeek, a new four-year contract with the brand. (That’s right—an entire presidential term’s worth of Pete selling electric shavers!) In an accompanying 30-second ad spot, which centers on product unsubtly called “the Lawnmower 4.0,” a bemused Pete fires off various potential taglines—“Let’s show ’em how hairless we can be, boys”—and quips about how to “surprise your girlfriend” with, presumably, your shaved bits, which you can presumably do whether or not your girlfriend is Kim Kardashian, which Pete’s is.

The new commercial was unsurprisingly well-timed to a new trailer for the upcoming season of The Kardashians on Hulu, which features a quick clip of Kim asking her boyfriend Pete if he wants to take a shower together, which causes him to immediately drop his phone and run to join her.

(Personal grooming aside, Kim also posted a series of photos of her and a shirtless Pete on Monday, inadvertently revealing his new “jasmine ∞ aladdin” collarbone tattoo—an homage to their very public first kiss.)

In other trailer- and body-adjacent news, a different trailer dropped today for the upcoming A24 movie Bodies Bodies Bodies, a stylish horror-thriller that features Pete as a baby-pink-hoodie-wearing boyfriend who may or may be the murderer in a parlour-game-gone-wrong plot. “That would be so obvious if I were the killer,” says Davidson’s character David in the trailer, indicating that the screenwriters and the audience are on the same page.
