Best known for his work on Saturday Night Live, the 31-year-old has also branched out into roles in films such as Bodies Bodies Bodies and Big Time Adolescence in the past few years.

While you may know the American actor for his numerous high-profile relationships, you might also recognise him from his heavily inked body.

But it looks like Davidson has had an awakening in recent years, taking the necessary steps to get rid of the ink.

“Really think about that Game of Thrones tattoo you’ve been thinking about getting,” he joked to the audience.

He repeated that process ‘like 12 more times’, while a source close to him told People: “He just woke up one day and wanted them gone, and it’s been a years-long process.”

The comedian said on the Today show that his reasoning behind the move is he ‘got sober’ and couldn’t recognise himself.

Now, the comedian has officially revealed his new look, which has reportedly cost him $200,000 (£161,300) in procedures, during an advert for clothing company, Reformation.

He stars in a three-minute video where he announces that he is the ‘Official Boyfriend of Reformation’, acting like a good partner to women trying on numerous outfits.

But it was the photos released on the sustainable clothing company’s website that left people’s jaws on the floor, as the SNL alumni was seen with almost no ink on his body.

Posing topless or in not much else apart from underwear in the snaps, Davidson seemingly looks pleased with his new look, which is a drastic change from the appearance that so many are used to with the comedian.

It isn’t clear if makeup was used to cover up some of the ink, given that remnants were showing during his recent TV appearances.

However, it looks like he’s almost there, as his torso looks clear of any ink, with Davidson eager to show off his new body,

Fans took to Reddit to share what they were thinking, with one writing: “That is some very impressive laser tattoo removal, you can hardly see them now.”

Another wrote: ” I’m really happy for him though, he’s seemingly put his everything intro rehabilitating himself.

“He’s looking healthier and happier than ever yet remains his authentic goofy self which we love.”

The incident took place during Kendrick Lamar’s highly-anticipated gig at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday (9 February).

Amid cameos from stars including SZA, Samuel L. Jackson, Serena Williams and DJ Mustard, as well as thinly-veiled shots being fired at Drake, viewers had a lot to pay attention to.

However, the NFL and Roc Nation have since spoken out to insist it definitely was not.

During the gig, one of Lamar’s dancers was seen suddenly unveiling a banner which combined the flags of Palestine and Sudan.

The dancer then fled from the stage while security frantically tried to catch up with him.

Footage shows how the flag waver give some of the football stars a run for their money with his speed, although he was eventually brought down by staff.

The NFL later confirmed that the person responsible was a part of the 400-strong cast who were on the field for the show.

The New Orleans Police Department told LADbible in a statement: “The individual detained in this incident, an adult black male, was ejected from the stadium after the incident.

“No arrest nor summons was issued. As such, the individual will not be identified.

“The NOPD continues to work with NFL and the halftime production team to ascertain any affiliation the individual may have had with the halftime show.”

According to the NFL, ‘the individual hid the item on his person and unveiled it late in the show’.

It added that ‘no one involved with the production was aware of the individual’s intent’.

The punishment which the performer-turned-protester is in for has now been confirmed by the NFL, too.

The man will not face any criminal charges, according to reports, but has received a lifetime ban from US football stadiums and events.

In a statement to NBC, an NFL spokesperson said: “We commend security for quickly detaining the individual who displayed the flag. He was a part of the 400-member field cast.

“No one involved with the production was aware of the individual’s intent. The individual will be banned for life from all NFL stadiums and events.”

Roc Nation, which produced the halftime show, also insisted it didn’t have any idea about the flag stunt.

A statement explained that it ‘was neither planned nor part of the production and was never in any rehearsal’.

Security expert Will Geddes told LADbible that the protester being able to conduct his demonstration so publicly was a ‘massive failing of security by the stadium’.

It’s a concept that would have seemed alien to many 20 years ago, but in that same time period, aspects like social media have also caught on – the internet is very different nowadays.

One of the most popular platforms out there is YouTube, founded on 14 February 2005, where the likes of KSI, Pewdiepie and MrBeast made a name for themselves.

But none of these household names were behind the platform’s first video.

Titled ‘Me at the zoo’, the video was uploaded on 23 April, 2005 and featured a man named Jawed Karim talking in front of an elephant enclosure.

He said: “All right, so here we are in front of the elephants. The cool thing about these guys is that they have really, really, really long trunks… and that’s cool.

Karim was actually one of the co-founders of YouTube, along with fellow American software engineers Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, all of whom worked for PayPal beforehand.

Though he would never upload another video again, he has accumulated over 348 million views on the clip (at the time of writing) as well as over 5.2 million subscribers.

While Hurley and Chen were majority shareholders in the site, Karim started out as an advisor while holding a much lower share in the company.

This didn’t stop him from benefitting from the site’s sale to Google in October 2006, as they acquired YouTube for $1.65 billion in Google stock, earning Karim around $64 million (£51.6 million) in shares. Not too bad.

All of that money was made without Karim ever taking a ‘salary, benefits or even a formal title’ from YouTube, according to the New York Times.

After selling the site, Karim invested in two other mega-successful ventures, being one of Airbnb’s first investors.

Karim started investment venture YVentures with partners Keith Rabois and Kevin Hartz in 2009.

The video seems simple and uneventful, but it would lay the foundation for future creators, in sharing aspects of their lives with their audience.

While Karim never uploaded on the channel again, he has edited the description and title of the original video to send messages across.

When Google tried to make YouTube users create Google+ accounts so that they could leave comments, he wrote: “Why the f*** do i need a Google+ account to comment on a video?”

Along with the rest of the YouTube community, they forced Google to go back on their decision, even shutting Google+ down for good in 2019.

When the site removed dislike counts, Karim wrote in the video’s description: “When every YouTuber agrees that removing dislikes is a stupid idea, it probably is. Try again, YouTube.”

Once known as ‘Little Hercules’ across the globe, Richard Sandrak has made a heartbreaking admission 25 years later.

The lad earned the title at just eight-years-old, as he was tipped as the ‘world’s strongest boy’. But having stopped lifting weights as an adult, there have long been theories about what Sandrak’s life growing up was really like.

Having been working out every day since he was just five, he was able to bench press three times his own body weight, become a global phenomenon as the media covered the young bodybuilder’s story.

The now 32-year-old’s childhood was far from normal but it wasn’t totally something he was used to, as he ‘had nothing to compare it to’.

“When people talk about a childhood memory, it’s usually associated with something positive. I can’t really relate. For me, it was a daily occurrence to where I was physically and emotionally abused by my dad,” he told Metro.

The former body builder explained his physique came as a result of ‘working out eight hours a day, constant weight training and a diet of pure clean eating.’

Sandrak’s parents, Lena and Pavel, homeschooled him and he grew up without any friends, experiencing a very different upbringing to other kids at the time.

“My father would often go into rage fits and what would start as a normal workout ended up with me doing a triple split kick [performing three consecutive kicks in a single motion] for 12 hours,” he claimed.

“I’ll never forget it, because it was just extremely exhausting and emotionally heavy. And there were more times than I can count where a simple training session turned into what felt like a really intense hostage situation.”

At around the age of eight or nine, he recalled having to do non-stop squats while watching a film.

“That was something I got used to because that was my entire childhood. That’s how I was raised. I had nothing to compare it to. I didn’t have a friend to tell me, that’s not what we do,” he claimed.

“I got physically beaten into it. My dad was very abusive. I learned early on not to ask to stop. You grit your teeth and keep doing what you’re told.”

Being in the limelight and meeting celebrities did bring some positives, including the fact his dad would have to treat him properly in public.

“It was a very confusing childhood. I don’t recall too many pleasant memories, until after my dad left,” he added.

Sandrak called 911 on his father after a particularly violent assault on his mum in 2003.

He said he had always been too fearful to make ‘that dramatic step’, but with the abuse getting worse he made the leap: “And I called them, told them not to sound their sirens, and they came and they took him away. It’s been a breath of fresh air ever since.”

Pavel was imprisoned for abuse and deported to his home nation of Ukraine.

The former ‘Little Hercules’ has not seen him since, with no interest in reconnecting and no apology from the father.

“I will always hold resentment towards him. They say ‘forgive and forget’. I may be willing to forgive, but I will never forget,” Sandrak said.

The shocking incident resurfaced in the aftermath of the Super Bowl LIX, which saw 43-year-old Serena going viral after making an appearance in Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show.

During the show, Serena appeared on one of the stages doing a Crip Walk dance during Kendrick’s performance of ‘Not Like Us’. A Grammy award winning song, it was created as a diss towards Kendrick’s rival Drake, who Serena was heavily rumoured to have dated between 2011 and 2015.

Viewers were left somewhat shocked by Serena doing the Crip Walk, or C-Walk, after realising the links between the dance and the gang that killed her sister.

Created in the 1970s by Robert Jackson, known as ‘Sugar Bear’, he was a member of the Crips gang that operate out of Los Angeles.

An extremely violent street gang, with a history of murders, robberies, and dealing drugs, the dance was used by members to signify their allegiance to the Crips.

It found itself way in to the rap subculture along the West Coast of the USA, with artists such as Snoop Dogg, Ice-T, and Ice Cube performing it over the years during their concerts.

Serena Williams doing the Crip Walk

Serena has opted to perform the Crip Walk on a number of occasions during her life.

After winning gold medal at the 2012 Olympics at Wimbledon, she performed the signature dance move on Centre Court with sister Venus cheering her on from the family box.

She also did it in June last year when presenting at the ESPY Awards.

“Not a single one of us, not even me, should ever pick a fight with Kendrick Lamar,” she said in an apparent reference to her alleged ex Drake’s beef with the Compton rapper.

Serena danced the C-Walk once again at the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans, appearing with Kendrick during his performance of ‘Not Like Us’. Speaking about the song, she previously said: “When they play that jam, I’m jamming. That jam is jamming.”

Killing of Serena Williams’ sister and fan realisation

Following Serena’s Crip Walk performance at the Super Bowl, some viewers were alerted to the Crips connection to the Williams family through the shocking killing of Yetunde Price.

Yetunde was the half sister of Serena and Venus. But back in 2003 when she was just 31, she was shot in the head in a drive-by shooting by a Crips gang member.

Parked up in her SUV with her boyfriend, they had inadvertently positioned the car outside of a crack house in Compton. Crips gang members guarding the house got suspicious before opening fire on the car, believing it to be connected to a rival gang.

One bullet was shot in to Price’s head, with her being pronounced dead shortly after when in hospital.

Robert Edward Maxfield, then 25, pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter the day before the third trial for Price’s killing. The first two trials had ended in a mistrial.

Serena and her family were naturally devastated by the loss, with her saying in 2004, as per PEOPLE: “She was a wonderful person. We’re dealing with it however we can. Some days are better than others.”

Those watching the Super Bowl took to social media after discovering that Serena’s sister had been killed by a Crip gang member.

Reacting to Serena then doing the famous Crip Walk on TV, one viewer said: “Serena Williams’ sister was killed by a Crip in a drive-by shooting and she had the audacity to Crip Walk during Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show… indefensible.”

Another wrote: “You have the audacity to Crip Walk when your sister was killed by a Crip.”

And a third said: “Oh my God… why did I just find out Serena Williams sister was killed by Crips… she must really hate Drake cause what the f**k?”

Responding to previous suggesting the dance glamorised gang violence, sister Venus said: “It was just a dance.”

On performing at the 2025 Super Bowl, Serena’s husband Alexis Ohanian posted to Instagram saying: “Some of y’all have no idea how criticised Serena was for this same dance at Wimbledon 13 years ago, and it shows. This is bigger than the music.”

Nicola Pritchard bought a four pack of the £2.50 knickers from Poundland – where due to economic factors things no longer all cost a pound to buy – for her 10-year-old daughter.

However, they were confused over what a symbol on the front of the clothes meant and after translating it the 40-year-old mum said she was ‘gobsmacked’ to discover what it said.

Running the symbol through a translator she found that it meant ‘cat’ or ‘pussycat’ in Japanese and Chinese.

She immediately contacted Poundland to complain about the symbol and said the product should be taken off the shelves. Poundland said the clothes were part of a wider Japanese-themed cat range and they ‘understand why’ the mum contacted them.

“They were in a pack of four and you could only see the front pair was gingham,” Nicola said of the Poundland pants she’d bought for her daughter.

“So I put into Google Translate and Google Lens and it said that the symbol on the front of her knickers is the slang term for cat. In other words, it’s ‘pussy, puss, moggy’, something like that.

“If the pants had anything to do with cats, like pictures of cats or something like that [that would be fine] but there’s no correlation as to why this symbol should be on there, especially on children’s pants.

“I was absolutely gobsmacked. These come in ages three to four in Poundland.”

She emailed Poundland and claimed they told her they’d investigate the matter, but says that when she went into the shop a few days later she could see the underwear was still being sold.

Nicola said ‘it seemed like they weren’t taking this seriously at all’ and found it ‘baffling’, though she reckons that ‘Poundland didn’t know’ the mistake they were making and she doesn’t ‘think they’ve done it intentionally’.

She’s hoping the clothes are recalled before others buy them for their children.

A Poundland spokesman said: “While these are part of a wider Japanese-themed cat range that includes socks and vests, we understand why Nicola questioned one item out of the context of the whole range.

“It goes without saying we apologise for that, and we appreciate her getting in touch with us.”
