Here are 5 fast facts about Pete Davidson that are actually true.

Pete Davidson joined the SNL cast when he was just 23 years old. He’s done impersonations of people like Adam Sandler, Eminem and Marco Rubio, but is most known for his stand up comedy routines.

Needless to say, Pete Davidson has a pretty stellar résumé.

2. He has Crohn’s disease.

“My stomach would be in pain all day and I wouldn’t be able to eat”

Crohn’s disease is a lasting disease that causes irritation and inflammation in the digestive tract, and he’s had it since he was a teenager. Since there’s no clear-cut answer to what causes the disease, Pete Davidson has to buffer the symptoms with medication.

In the video, he explains that marijuana was the best at calming his stomach down:

“I found that the medicines that the doctors were prescribing me and seeing all these doctors and trying new things…weed would be the only thing that would help me eat.”

3. He suffers from borderline personality disorder.

In an interview with High Times, Pete Davidson talks about his diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD), a mental health problem affecting 5.9 percent of the population.

Basically, a person with BPD is unable to regulate their emotions and impulses and because of the stigma attached to mental health Peterson hid this for a long time.

If you or someone you know suffers from BPD I recommend checking out TARA, a website dedicated to BPD research and treatment.

4. He needs weed to be funny.
