'It's super corny, but it would be so fun to dress up a little dude,' he continued. 'I'm so excited for that chapter so that's kind of what I'm just preparing for now, is trying to be like good as a dude and develop and get better so when that happens it's just easier,' he added.
Davidson, a successful actor and comedian, has been open about his decision to abstain from using drugs and drinking alcohol as well as his choice to remove the hundreds of tattoos covering most of his body. During a press tour for his film Dog Man in January, he told Today that the removal process had been strenuous.
'It's pretty terrible, so if anybody out there is watching and thinking about getting a tattoo, make sure you really want to get it,' he said before flashing a glimpse of the faded tattoos on his forearm. 'It's pretty gone.'

Ontario comedian hoping to break record for world's largest yard sale
A Belleville, Ont., comedian is hoping to set the world record for most garage sales in one day this weekend, and he is not joking around about it. Kyle Woolven says when he first thought of the idea of turning his community into a massive garage sale, no one took him seriously, which he says was understandable given his profession. 'I had to go to like the higher-ups in the city, all the well-connected city council type people, and I explain my idea there, and then it took one person (to say), 'That's not a bad idea, we should try and do something like that.'' On July 19, the community will aim to set a Guinness World Record for the greatest number of yard sales. While there does not appear to be an official Guinness World Record yet, there is an annual event in the United States called The 127 Yard Sale, which claims to be the world's longest yard sale, crossing six states at 690 miles. Story continues below advertisement 'People can't help but love yard sales. If they see one, they get this urge to go and stop at it, even though most of the stuff there they don't want, or they have already at home, but when you see a yard sale, you go, 'Oh yeah, cool, come on, what do they have over there?'' Woolven says. Get daily National news Get the day's top news, political, economic, and current affairs headlines, delivered to your inbox once a day. Sign up for daily National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy The comedian says he thinks people love yard sales so much because they give you 'a glimpse at all the mistakes that people have made over the years.' He goes on to say you can 'look at all their stuff and then be like, 'Oh my goodness, you bought like two of those singing bass fish that hang on the wall things?' I'll give you $3.50 for those.' Woolven is hoping for at least 500 yard sales. So far, at least 350 have officially registered. People can register online at the Bellville yard sale website. People will be out on the day of the event tracking the number of participants. Record aside, Woolven says his true motivations are for a good cause, with all the money raised going to support the United Way Hastings and Prince Edward County. Through that, Woolven said the money will be distributed to local organizations that need it most. Story continues below advertisement 'Last year, Bellville declared a state of emergency because we had a string of large number of overdoses very quickly and we didn't have the means to handle it all … so there's lots of people in the city that are in need and this money just goes directly to them.' Those interested in joining in on the fun can visit Belleville on Saturday to see what can be found.

Shane Gillis' awkward ESPYS monologue draws mixed reactions
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Comedian Shane Gillis ' opening monologue as host of the ESPYS went over awkwardly in front of some of the biggest names in sports on Wednesday night. Early on, he called out various famous faces in the Dolby Theatre crowd, including retired WNBA star Diana Taurasi, who was to receive the Icon Award later in the evening. Gillis said, 'Give it up for her' after calling her 'Deanna.' The camera showed an unsmiling Taurasi shaking her head. Gillis quickly caught his mistake, saying, 'My bad on that.' Gillis moved on to WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark, who wasn't on hand. 'When Caitlin Clark retires from the WNBA, she's going to work at a Waffle House so she can continue doing what she loves most: fist fighting Black women,' he joked. While some in the audience laughed, others appeared uncomfortable. Gillis plowed on for 10 minutes, with jokes about President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, whose sex trafficking investigation has roiled the Justice Department and FBI. Gillis' performance drew mixed reviews on social media, with some calling him 'hilarious' and others 'cringey.' NBA Finals MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander smiled when Gillis said, 'SGA is here. Everybody sitting around him is in foul trouble.' Gillis retold what he called 'a dumb joke' that he said he loved from former 'Saturday Night Live' comic Norm MacDonald's stint as ESPYS host in 1998. Gillis congratulated Colorado two-way player Travis Hunter for winning the Heisman Trophy. 'That's something they can never take away from you unless you kill your wife and a waiter,' he said, referring to the late O.J. Simpson. Before closing it out, a smiling Gillis said, 'I see a lot of you don't like me and that's okay. That's it for me. That went about exactly how we all thought it was going to go. I don't know why this happened.' Sports Humanitarian Awards The Indianapolis Colts and former U.S. Open tennis champion Sloane Stephens were among the winners at the 11th annual Sports Humanitarian Awards. The Colts were honored as the team of the year for their Kicking the Stigma campaign to raise mental health awareness and expand access to treatment. Stephens received the Muhammad Ali award for her namesake foundation that works to make tennis more inclusive through access, representation and support for kids on and off the court. She beat out Washington Wizards guard CJ McCollum and Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin. Michele Kang, the billionaire owner of the NWSL's Washington Spirit, was chosen as the Sports Philanthropist of the Year. Billy Bean, former MLB player and executive, was honored with the Stuart Scott ENSPIRE Award on Wednesday night. ___ AP sports:

'He's built around all these wires and all these mechanical boxes,' said Peter Hargrave, the actor who plays Scar. Hargrave guides Scar's movements with a finger control. 'There's a little 'go' button on the side that makes the mask go out — this is when Scar is feeling angry, more animalistic in his nature,' Hargrave explained. Hargrave has played Scar for three years. He said there's a learning curve, but everyone knows their puppets so intricately.
