Pete Davidson says this year’s 9/11 anniversary is “extra tough” and “way harder” because he is now a father and has gained a new perspective on his late dad’s death.
Both outlets link his remarks to a milestone in his personal life: Davidson is the same age his firefighter father, Scott Davidson, was when he died responding to the World Trade Center attacks. The articles describe Scott Davidson as a New York City firefighter who died at age 33, along with his unit, during the response to 9/11.
While the coverage differs in emphasis, they both focus on the same point: Davidson’s reflections are shaped by fatherhood and the timing of his own age relative to his father’s at the time of the tragedy. Fox highlights the “extra tough” nature of the anniversary, while the Daily Mail frames the change as being harder specifically because he has a baby and notes the 25th-anniversary context.
