The biggest heist of the year How To Rob A Bank is continuing to build momentum ahead of its release. Audiences are eagerly awaiting the high-octane drama, adrenaline and razor-sharp wit set amidst the viral world of social media. 

Among the ensemble cast, actor and former comedian Pete Davidson is gearing up for his much-awaited role as Vince, a military veteran who serves as an expert in a team of social-media savvy bank robbers. The actor has now opened up on his dramatic role and preparation for the film.

Pete Davidson On His Intense Physical Transformation

Speaking in an interview, Pete says, “Once I got in the room (with the young actress), I got really choked up. What happens to the character is adjacent to what happened to me with my dad and the age and all that. I’m a comic first, so I never understood when actors would be like, ‘It was very painful’, but it is. It was very tough, and the first time I felt like a real actor because I wasn’t just playing myself.”

The actor further spoke about his intense transformation as he gained 15 pounds of muscle and consumed protein for the role. He shared, “I just think it’s really important for people to know that that’s what I did. When someone says, ‘Whoa, you’re in tremendous shape!’ and an actor goes, ‘Yup! just broccoli, rice and chicken!,’ it’s like, ‘no, dude, you have a vein going from your forehead to your thumb.”

As the notorious crew gains fame online for their daring crimes, a veteran FBI agent teams up with a brilliant software engineer to track them down.
