Pete Davidson moves fast. He only recently split from Kim Kardashian (we’re still bummed about it), but the Saturday Night Live star has already been seen in the arms of another woman. OK, yes, it’s for a film and OK, yes, he was playing a role, but still, we all know that what happens on set doesn’t stay on set.
But anyway, before we send the rumour mill into overdrive, let’s discuss what is really and truly going on here. In new pictures, shared ahead of the release of Pete’s new film Meet Cute, the 28-year-old can be seen enjoying an amorous evening with Kaley Cuoco. The first-look images from the upcoming romcom – set to begin streaming on Peacock beginning 21 September – show Cuoco (who we’ve been busy watching in the action-packed second season of Flight Attendant) and Davidson looking pretty cosy as their characters Gary and Sheila enjoy an unfurling romance.
In one of the images, Kaley could be seen placing her hand on Pete’s chest as they looked each other in the eyes with the backdrop of the Manhattan Bridge. The former Big Bang Theory star was also seen with her hands on Pete’s cheeks as they looked like they were about to kiss. There was also a snap of Kaley looking into a tanning bed alongside Deborah S. Craig. Ohhh… cryptic!

According to Deadline, Meet Cute “is a wildly inventive deconstruction of the romantic comedy built around the question: What would you do if you could travel to your loved ones’ past, heal their traumas, fix their problems, and change them into the perfect partner?”
Umm… anyone else feel like their private convos with friends have been listened in on?
Anyway, we’ll leave that unnerving thought there for now, because we also have more information on what the film’s plot. The movie will focus on Sheila (Cuoco), a woman who uses a time machine to repeat a first meeting between her and Gary (Davidson) in order to engineer a love at first sight date. But when Gary can’t measure up to Sheila’s vision of perfection in the days following their magical night, she heads further back in time to shape him into her dream man.
It’s being directed directed by Alex Lehmann, who previously helmed the films Acidman, Paddleton and Blue Jay. “If I had a time machine right now I’d be torn. Do I skip ahead to our release date or do I go back and relive the joy it was making this film? Lucky for me it’s a decision I don’t get to make,” Lehmann said in a statement. “I’m excited for audiences to get swept away on this wild romantic ride exclusively on Peacock.”
It’s safe to say, we cannot wait for the release of this one – and also need to know where Kaley’s yellow gingham dress is from. Ideas, anyone?
Meet Cute will be available to stream on Peacock from 21 September.
