The summer comedy is loosely based on Pete Davidson's life
“It’s a fictional story inspired by a lot of the emotional events from his life,” Apatow said of Davidson’s personal contribution to the story. “I’m really proud of it ... I feel like it’s very funny and moving.”
The summer comedy follows Scott , an aspiring tattoo artist on his journey through grief and young adulthood after losing his firefighter father when he was seven. Davidson’s own father, who was a firefighter, died when he was seven years old during the 9/11 World Trade Center terrorist attack.“He really is a sweetheart guy,” Apatow said of Davidson. “He’s so creative and smart. He’s been through things that no one on earth should ever have to go through. I think it’s been very challenging recovering from them, but he has such a big heart, and I think he’s taken this opportunity through his art to express what he’s going through.
