Pete Davidsonis opening up about his past struggles with addiction.
On Monday, theSaturday Night Livestar joined his fellow castmates of the upcoming filmBig Time Adolescencefor a candid chat withVarietyat the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
During the discussion, Davidson, 25, joked about his past stint in a treatment facility.
“I love Park City, Utah, because the last time I was here, I was in rehab,” Davidsontold the publication. “It’s nice to be on the other side of it.”
“And, also, it speaks wonders to your rehab facilities,” he added while sipping on a beer.
Instead of discussing his mental health right away, Davidson joked, “As you know, I’ve had a really crazy month but I want to talk about something that matters a lot to me — the new Clint Eastwood movie,The Mule!”
After bringing out comedianJohn Mulaney, 36, to discussThe Mulewith him, Mulaney said, “I’ve been spending some time with Pete to try to show him that you can have a life in comedy that is not insane. A sober, domestic life.”

“Yeah, and after observing John’s life, I publicly threatenedsuicide,” Davidson said in response, prompting the audience to break out into laughter.
“I’m sorry, I know I shouldn’t make that joke,” he continued, laughing, “but it is funny.”
“Oh, thank you, John,” replied Davidson, rolling his eyes back and laughing.
“And we are glad you’re okay,” Mulaney added. “Now back toThe Mule.“
On Dec. 15, Davidson posted an alarming message on Instagram.
Sharing a screenshot of a note, the comedian wrote, “I really don’t want to be on this earth anymore. I’m doing my best to stay here for you but i actually don’t know how much longer i can last.”
“All i’ve ever tried to do was help people. Just remember i told you so,” he continued, adding a single red heart emoji.
