Pete Davidson has found the focus on his personal life to be "traumatic"

He said on The Breakfast Club: "It just got to a point where I was ... I got really tired of my whole career just being like my personal life. And living through that is it's sort of traumatic. Like not to be like lame, but like it's traumatic to live in your own crap all the time."

Pete also hated the experience of being sexualised by the public.

The comedy star explained: "I don't want to victimise myself in any way because I'm cool, but the sexualisation of me - if that was a girl, people would be like, there would be a march for it ... Seriously. You're just talking about my d*** all day."

Pete and his girlfriend Elsie Hewitt are currently expecting their first child together, and the actor recently claimed that his impending fatherhood has given him a new perspective on life.

Pete - who shot to stardom on Saturday Night Live, before turning his focus towards the movie industry - told People magazine: "I'm just excited to take care of the little one. The second I found out the news, I was like, 'Oh wow, what I do is just a job.'

"I realised I was kind of basing my happiness on work, which is ridiculously unhealthy. So it gave me this weird sense of calmness, where this is just a job and now I have someone to do it for."

The King of Staten Island star is already looking forward to his child enjoying playdates with four-month-old Saga, the daughter of his friend Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox.

Pete - who began dating Elsie in March - said: "We're going to have awesome play dates. Yeah, that's [going to be] a cool play date."
