During the comedian’s appearance on “The Breakfast Club” Wednesday, he got candid about the attention he received surrounding his dating life in his earlier years on “Saturday Night Live.”

“Also, I was embarrassed by it because … no one talked about any work I was doing. They were just like, ‘Oh, that’s the f–k stick.’ And that hurt so much,” Davidson, 31, added.
The “King of Staten Island” actor recalled how his “SNL” castmates, friends and relatives noticed how “sad” and “embarrassed” he was about the attention.
“No one was outrightly mean by any means,” he remembered.
Charlamagne, 47, then made a joke about Davidson’s apparent discomfort, saying, “You was banging a lot of hot chicks and you had a 10-inch penis.”

Though Davidson said that “sounds great” on paper, he confessed that the situation was “embarrassing.”
“It’s Hollywood. Everybody f–ks everyone. Why are they focusing on me?” the “Bupkis” alum asked, adding that he believed the attention was heightened because he is “not Glen Powell handsome.”
“I’m just like this dude that tells d–k jokes and is a drug addict,” he quipped.
“I don’t want to victimize myself in any way because I’m cool, but the sexualization 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–k all day.”
When asked when the rumors about Davidson’s “big d–k energy” started, he seemingly brought up his ex Grande.
“I think it was like, the New York Times or something when I started dating someone that I guess they considered out of my league, which I think everyone is out of my league,” he said. GC Images

“I think it was like, the New York Times or something when I started dating someone that I guess they considered out of my league, which I think everyone is out of my league,” he said.
“But you know, they were like, ‘This guy must have big d–k energy.’ And then someone confirmed it,” Davidson added.
The “Bodies Bodies Bodies” star admitted he had issues navigating his relationships due to the media’s interest in his private life.
“It just got to a point where I was … I got really tired of my whole career just being like my personal life,” he said.
