Davidson is expected to begin filming the Netflix biopic, “I Slept With Joey Ramone,” in the new year.
Joey, born Jeffrey Ross Hyman in 1951, battled schizophrenia and obsessive compulsive disorder most of his life before his death in 2001. The Ramones frontman died of lymphoma at the age of 49.
Given Joey’s own mental health struggles, many of Davidson’s friends fear this could unleash his own mental health demons.
A source disclosed to US Sun that there are concerns about the pressure that comes with the role and the toll it could take on Davidson.

“Pete is interested in this role because it allows him to tap into the tragedy of his own life for more than just laughs or gory moments,” the source revealed.
Davidson tragically lost his father, who was a firefighter and first responder to the 9/11 Twin Towers attacks.
The comedian has struggled with depression and anxiety for years, and he also has a history of threatening suicide.
In 2017, Davidson revealed that he had been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD).
Given Davidson’s departure from ‘SNL,’ she now has to look at her future and what that might look like.

But going into this hole is risky, especially with everything Pete is currently struggling with. Pete has put himself under serious pressure since he left ‘Saturday Night Live’ and this is his biggest challenge yet.”
The source explained that Davidson still feels he has a lot to prove despite his success and huge popularity.
“Honestly, it’s a recipe for disaster,” the source added.
The Netflix project was announced on April 15 and will be executive produced by Joey’s brother, Mickey Leigh.
It is based on the book, “I Slept With Joey Ramone,” written by Leigh.
In addition to his burgeoning film career, Davidson has been dating Emily Ratajkowksi. This is his first relationship since his split with Kim Kardashian.
