I Was Surprised Pete Davidson Name-Dropped Jon Bernthal While Revealing One Trait He Wants His Baby Daughter To Have

by

Pete Davidson is loving being a new dad after welcoming his daughter, Scottie Rose, with Elsie Hewitt in December. He’s talked about wanting to be a father for a long time, and surprisingly mentioned he hopes his baby girl will share some qualities with actor Jon Bernthal as she grows up.

Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt named their daughter Scottie, after Pete’s father, Scott, who was a New York firefighter and tragically died in the 9/11 attacks. Davidson hopes his daughter will have a strong connection to her grandfather, and shared with US Weekly that…

I’m looking for someone with a naturally warm and inviting personality – someone you instantly like. My dad had that quality, and you see it in actors like Jon Bernthal. You’d feel comfortable around him, even just seeing him somewhere ordinary, and wish he was family. That’s the kind of vibe I’m hoping for.

Okay, so Pete Davidson recently became a dad, and honestly, it’s really sweet hearing him talk about his hopes for his daughter. He’s already thinking about what traits she might get from his family, and it’s just a genuinely touching glimpse into new fatherhood. It’s a really endearing moment, seeing him consider what kind of person she’ll become.

You know what cracks me up? Apparently, when this actor from Bodies Bodies Bodies thinks about feeling a connection with someone he doesn’t know, Jon Bernthal is the face that comes to mind! And honestly, I totally see why. Bernthal is just effortlessly charismatic, and it makes perfect sense he’s been everywhere lately – from the intensity of The Bear to something like The Accountant 2, even The Amateur, and now this year’s His & Hers. The guy’s just fantastic and adds something to everything he’s in.

He’s also got two major films scheduled for release in 2026: The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day. And despite any villainous roles he’s played as The Punisher in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Pete Davidson is right – I’d definitely trust Jon Bernthal with my baby if I ran into him at a drugstore.

Pete Davidson continued to express his adoration for his daughter, explaining that he doesn’t worry about her appearance as she gets older, but instead focuses on the kindness and personality that will shine through.

Elsie is incredibly beautiful, and I’m sure her daughter, Scottie, will be too. I hope Scottie has one of those faces that people find instantly familiar and comforting – like they feel they’ve known her before. That’s a trait I really admire in my dad, and I hope she inherits it.

A little advice for new fathers: always find a moment to give the mother of your child a sincere compliment, just like Pete Davidson did with Elsie Hewitt, who clearly adores the family they’re building. He lovingly shared:

It sounds cliché, but everything people say is true – Scottie is genuinely the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Nothing else – not my job, hobbies, social life, or what others think – even comes close in importance or how much I care.

It’s always great to see Pete Davidson performing, especially knowing everything he’s overcome. He’s dealt with the loss of his father, intense public scrutiny focused on his relationships, and bravely faced challenges with addiction and PTSD, including seeking help through rehab and therapy. It’s inspiring to see him focus on his work despite everything.

It seems like a distant memory when dating Kim Kardashian meant dealing with constant security issues and public attention. Now, it’s surprising to think his main goals are simply things like pushing a stroller with Machine Gun Kelly and seeing his daughter get along well with someone like Jon Bernthal.
