If your WiFi stopped working at some point today, blame Pete Davidson, because he most certainly broke the internet with his latest interview with PAPER Magazine.Never one to hold back, the candid Saturday Night Live actor and comedian graces the cover of the publication's #BreaktheInternet issue as an exposed Ken doll, and shares it all—including his, uh... love for everyone’s forever crush, Leonardo DiCaprio.
While discussing how weird it is to be viewed as a sexual icon, Davidson reflects on Leonardo DiCaprio, who was THE heartthrob of the '90s. In doing so, Pete Davidson delivers the standout NSFW quote that has everyone on the internet talking:"Well, I used to jerk off to Leonardo DiCaprio… Uhh, like his acting," Pete tells his friend and interviewer Tommy Dorfman. (Don't say we didn't warn you!)“I used to have a HUGE crush on Leonardo DiCaprio,” the comedian continued. “I had this huge poster of him from The Beach in my room, and there used to be, like, ‘Leo love books’... Do you remember? Like, right when Titanic came out [when I was] in like third or fourth grade, he was just like, ‘teen milk.’ There were love books and I had all of them. He was the coolest.”Let’s be honest—we’ve all had a poster of Leonardo DiCaprio (or at least a screensaver) at some point. BUT what most of us haven’t had to experience (yet) is meeting Leo in person after years of crushing on him through said poster—talk about awkward. Not even Pete Davidson could handle the pressure.When asked if he’s ever met Leo in person, Pete expressed that it’s just too much to deal with.“I've met him twice and I've just shaken hands and run away fast."Relatable. But we can’t even imagine us getting through the shaking of hands part.

Beyond fanboying over Leonardo, Pete also discussed his struggle with cystic acne (Accutane may just be his saving grace), his love language (emphasizing that always he treats who he’s with "like a princess"), and of course, his former flame, Ariana Grande.After a pretty rough public breakup with the popstar, Pete wishes Ariana nothing but the best."I don't ever make public statements about relationships 'cause I just don't think it's right, you know? I usually express how I feel about anything through work,” says Pete. “So, I hope she's well. I hope she's very happy. And that's pretty much it. And print doesn't usually age well."[video_embed id='1588085']RELATED: Pete Davidson called out Ariana Grande[/video_embed]
