Pete pays tribute to his father

Although Pete said that his father’s death didn’t affect him when he was seven, as the years rolled on, he suffered the trauma of losing his father.

As per Grunge: “At school, Davidson once ended up pulling out all his hair in frustration, and he said later that in many ways, he was a “lab rat” for physicians who were trying to understand the experiences of children of victims from the terror attacks.“

Paying tribute to his father, Pete has a tattoo of his father’s firefighter number (8418) on his arm.

He also remembered his father in the 2020 movie The King Of Staten Island. Pete had to visit a firehouse during filming and walked in his father’s footsteps. As per Access Hollywood in 2020, Pete said that it was “a lot” acting in the film.
