Pete Davidson Praises Ex Kim Kardashian’s Acting Career: “She’s So Good”
Years after their high-profile relationship ended, Pete Davidson is still cheering on Kim Kardashian. During a recent episode of The Pete Davidson Show, the comedian surprised fans by offering glowing praise for Kardashian’s growing acting career, saying he always believed she could succeed on screen.
As Kardashian continues to land major television and film roles, Davidson made it clear that he’s impressed by how quickly she has established herself as an actress.
Pete Davidson Says Kim Kardashian Proved Him Right
While speaking with fellow comedian Nikki Glaser, Davidson reflected on a conversation he had with Kardashian while the two were dating. According to Davidson, Kardashian told him she wanted to pursue acting professionally. His response? Complete support.
“I remember when we were dating, one day she was just like, ‘I think I’m gonna be an actress,’” Davidson recalled. “And I was just like, ‘Yeah!’”
What surprised him most wasn’t her ambition—it was how successful she became at it.
“And then she’s just good at it,” Davidson said. “She’s so good at acting.”
Kim Kardashian Has Been Expanding Her Hollywood Resume
Although Kardashian first became famous through reality television, she has spent the last several years building a legitimate acting portfolio. One of her most notable recent roles came in American Horror Story: Delicate, where she played the powerful and manipulative Siobhan Corbyn.
She also stars in the legal drama All’s Fair, a project from producer Ryan Murphy. In addition, Kardashian is set to appear in the upcoming comedy The Fifth Wheel, which features an ensemble cast and is directed by Eva Longoria.
Nikki Glaser Says Kim Thrives on Proving People Wrong
During the conversation, Glaser agreed with Davidson’s assessment and suggested that Kardashian’s determination has played a major role in her success. According to Glaser, Kardashian has never been afraid to pursue goals that others believe are out of reach. She noted that Kardashian entered acting knowing many critics would be skeptical and eager to judge her performances.
That challenge may have actually fueled her motivation. Glaser argued that whenever people tell Kardashian she can’t do something, it often becomes extra motivation to prove them wrong.
From Reality TV Star to Actress
Kardashian’s acting career has been one of the more unexpected developments in Hollywood over the last few years. For much of her career, she was primarily known for reality television, business ventures, and social media influence. However, recent projects have allowed her to showcase a different side of her talents.
While reviews of her performances have varied, industry opportunities continue to arrive. Landing major roles in projects from high-profile creators like Murphy suggests that Hollywood sees potential in her future as an actress.
A Supportive Comment From an Unexpected Source
Celebrity exes don’t always publicly compliment one another, which is part of what made Davidson’s comments stand out. The pair dated for roughly nine months following Kardashian’s split from Kanye West, attracting intense media attention throughout their relationship.
Even after their breakup, Davidson appears to have maintained respect for Kardashian’s ambitions and accomplishments. His latest comments offer a glimpse into that support, with the comedian admitting he was impressed by just how naturally she adapted to acting. As Kardashian’s Hollywood career continues to grow, Davidson seems happy to say, “I told you so.”
