    Pete Davidson stays up-to-date with the news using Alexa+

    The 31-year-old actor doesn't use social media or read the news on his smartphone - but he does use Amazon's voice assistant in order to stay in touch with the news.


    Pete told People: "I don't have social media and I don't like reading news on my phone, so I'll just ask Alexa, like, 'Hey, is there anything big happening right now that I need to know? Or what's the weather?'"

    Alexa+ uses generative AI in order to be more conversational and personalised. And Pete admits that he leans heavily on the device to stay in touch with the wider world.

    Pete said: "It's just an Alexa on steroids."

    The comedian was obsessed with hoverboards - which were featured in the Back To The Future film franchise - during his younger years. However, he's no longer a fan of the concept.

    Pete said: "When I was a kid, they sounded really cool, but now that I actually drive, that would be a f****** nightmare. So I hope nobody ever creates flying cars."

    Meanwhile, Pete previously revealed that he found the focus on his personal life to be "traumatic".

    The comedian has dated a host of famous women, including Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Kaia Gerber, Margaret Qualley, and Phoebe Dynevor, but Pete felt frustrated that people often knew him for his high-profile love life, rather than his comedy talent.

    He said on The Breakfast Club: "It just got to a point where I was ... I got really tired of my whole career just being like my personal life. And living through that is it's sort of traumatic. Like not to be like lame, but like it's traumatic to live in your own crap all the time."

    Pete also hated the experience of being sexualised by the public.

    The comedy star explained: "I don't want to victimise myself in any way because I'm cool, but the sexualisation of me - if that was a girl, people would be like, there would be a march for it ... Seriously. You're just talking about my d*** all day."
