Kaley Cuoco says she doesn't think Pete Davidson 'knows how famous he is'
- Kaley Cuoco told Glamour she doesn't think her former costar Pete Davidson "knows how famous he is."
- "He's just Pete. He laughs everything off," she said, also recalling how kind he was on set.
Kaley Cuoco opened up about her friendship with her "Meet Cute" costar Pete Davidson in a recent interview with Glamour and provided some insight into why his girlfriend Kim Kardashian (and many other people) find him so irresistible.
"I don't even think he knows how famous he is. I know that sounds cheesy. But I don't think he knows," the "Flight Attendant" star said. "I got to know him very well, and he doesn't thrive on that. He's just Pete. He laughs everything off."
The pair were rumored to be romantically involved while filming their upcoming comedy in New York City in August of last year. "I knew it was going to happen," Cuoco said.
It was one month before she filed for divorce from her then-husband Karl Cook and two months before Davidson was spotted holding hands with Kardashian in public.
"We really became very good friends, and he truly is one of the nicest people in the world," the "Big Bang Theory" star said, adding that Davidson "took pictures with everybody" and was engaging with fans and the crew.
"Some people would walk by and be like, 'Fuck you, Pete Davidson.' And then the next person would drive by and be like, 'Oh, my God, I'm your biggest fan!'" she recalled. "And he'd laugh."
It was a bittersweet accident that Cuoco was available to shoot "Meet Cute," because she shared that she was up for a role in "Knives Out 2" that ultimately went to Kate Hudson.
"I was so devastated. And I'm not [normally] devastated over roles. I had done chemistry reads, I had done Zooms. And I didn't get it. I cried and I cried all night long," she said.
The day after learning the news, she got a call about the "Meet Cute" script. "And I said, 'I don't want to read anything. I suck. No one wants me,'" Cuoco recalled.
Someone eventually convinced her to read it. "And when I did, I said, 'This is the most magical little script,'" she told Glamour. "And I would've never gotten it if I [got] 'Knives.' It just shows you that you're where you're supposed to be."
