“And when Eric and Jasmin have a kid, people are expecting the kid to be funny.”
Pete Davidson is all ears when it comes to parenting advice.
In an interview with ExtraTV at the world premiere of his new film “The Pickup,” the 31-year-old actor was asked if he received any advice from his co-star Eddie Murphy, who is a father and grandfather.
Not only did Davidson say yes, but he described Murphy’s advice as the “best” he has received yet.

“His advice was the best,” Davidson recalled. “He goes, ‘I have no advice.’”
“Because you can’t really tell anybody how to raise their own kid,” he added of Murphy’s advice. “But it’s going to change your life and you’re gonna love it, and I know you’ll be good at it.”
Murphy shares 10 kids — six daughters and four sons — with five different women, including a 9-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son with his wife Paige Butcher, according to People.

As for Davidson, he and his girlfriend Elsie Hewitt, whom he has been romantically involved with since March, according to E! News, announced their pregnancy in a July 16 Instagram post.
The pregnancy has been a hot topic as Davidson promotes his two new films “The Home,” released July 25, and “The Pickup,” to be released Aug. 6, according to IMDB.
And it appears Murphy wasn’t the only co-star to share parenting wisdom with Davidson.
In his interview with ExtraTV, Davidson revealed that his other co-star, Keke Palmer, who welcomed her first baby in February, according to People, showed him what it looks like to be a parent in Hollywood.
“When we were doing ‘The Pickup,’ Keke’s baby was just born and she had him on set the whole time,” Davidson told the outlet. “She would go into a take and then run over and play with the baby.”
Palmer announced the birth of her baby boy, Leodis "Leo" Andrellton, with ex Darius Jackson on February 27, 2023.
“It made me realize that it’s possible to co-exist in both worlds,” Davidson said of his co-star. “I was really impressed with the way she was parenting on set.”
Davidson and Hewitt celebrate their baby’s red carpet debut
Davidson’s red carpet appearance on July 27 was a special one for him and Hewitt.
The couple first made their red carpet debut at the Endometriosis Foundation of America’s 13th Annual Blossom Ball on May 15, according to Harper’s Bazaar.
Now two months later, the couple returned to the red carpet to make another debut — this one featuring a baby bump.

Davidson opened up about the experience in an interview with Variety on the red carpet.
“This is the baby’s first red carpet,” Davidson confirmed.
“That’s kind of crazy. We were talking about that in the car. One day the baby will see that and be like, ‘I’m in there!’” Davidson added of Hewitt’s baby bump.

While Hewitt wasn’t present at the July 22 world premiere of “The Home” several days earlier, it didn’t stop Davidson from opening up about his upcoming role as a father.
“I assume you just try to give them what you didn’t have, and what you didn’t like, not do it,” he told E! News, adding that he’s most excited to “take care of something and show it the childhood I didn’t have.”
Davidson also revealed that he received some advice from co-star Adam Sandler, though he didn’t specify what the advice was.
