Pete Davidson sports floppy hair as he packs a punch playing notorious mob enforcer on the set of mafia killer biopic Tommy Karate for the first time

Pete Davidson looked worlds away from his usual appearance as he was seen for the first time on set of his new film Tommy Karate on Tuesday. 

The Saturday Night Live star, 32, showed off his new floppy hairstyle as he sported curtain bangs for his role in the mafia killer biopic. 

Filming in Bay Ridge in Brooklyn, the actor sported a black leather jacket and white T-shirt as he threw a punch at his co-star in action shots. 

Later Pete changed into a black vest top and grey tracksuit bottoms as he was seen squeezing fake blood all over his face. 

The new biopic, whose release date is yet to be confirmed, follows DEA Agent Jim Hunt's pursuit and capture of the notorious serial killer Tommy Pitera. 

Tommy was nicknamed Tommy Karate due to his use of martial arts in fighting. New York prosecutors also called him a 'ruthless killer' after alleging he dismembered bodies and buried them in Staten Island.  

Directed by Justin Chon, the movie is based on the non-fiction true crime book The Butcher: Anatomy Of A Mafia Psychopath by Philip Carlo.  

Pete is set to star in the new film alongside Paul Walter Hauser, who plays DEA Agent Jim Hunt, Louis Cancelmi, Camila Mendes and Simon Rex. 

Speaking about taking the role in March, Pete told Deadline: 'Tommy Karate is the greatest mob story never told. 

'I’ve been working on this for over three years, and I’m beyond thrilled that it’s finally in motion.

'Playing a role like this is a dream job. We have a great team behind this one, and I can’t wait for people to see what we’ve come up with.'

Pete's appearance comes after he was spotted out with Love Thy Nader star Sarah Jane Nader in Brooklyn earlier this month. 

The comedian is a decade older than the Freeform reality star, 22, but they looked cozy in a Deuxmoi video as he held the car door open for her before driving off together.

Sarah came out as bisexual in 2023 and the next year she dated Alexis Williams, who currently serves as Deputy Press Secretary for Culture Partnerships and Black Media under New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

'At that time, I was not even out to any of my family members. So I'm really happy that I was able to tell my story from a place of confidence,' she told Elite Daily in February.

'A few people have messaged me saying that they have experienced homophobia in their family or have not felt comfortable to come out, and then they watched the show and felt comfortable enough to come out. That is insane to me.'

'To be a part of anyone's experience, I feel honored, and just honored to have a platform to be authentically myself. To see that effect makes me want to be more open about more s***.'

Meanwhile just days earlier it was revealed Pete and his baby mama ex-girlfriend Elsie Hewitt had reached a co-parenting agreement a little over two months since their shock split.

The star welcomed daughter Scottie Rose late last year in December with the model, 30.

Following news of the breakup in May, Hewitt had taken to social media to claim she is raising their baby girl 'on my own'. 

Sources soon refuted the claims, telling the Daily Mail that Davidson 'covers all costs' related to their daughter.

However, the pair will now continue 'working together' to raise their little one after coming to a 'joint agreement'.

'We are cooperatively coparenting our daughter whose well-being remains our top priority, and we are fully committed to working together to give her love from both of us,' the two stars said in a statement on Friday, per People.

The Daily Mail reached out to reps for Davidson and Hewitt for comment.
