Pete Davidson says he is now the age his dad was when he died on 9/11

Pete Davidson is now the same age — 33 — that his firefighter dad was when he died on 9/11. "I thought, ‘Oh, he was an old guy. He’s 33,’" Davidson told the New York Post in a recent interview. "But now I’m there, and I have a kid, and that would be like my kid not having her dad." To mark 25 years since the tragedy, Davidson is participating in a comedy benefit at Madison Square Garden with Jon Stewart.
