Paul Reubens, Pee-wee Herman Actor, Dead at 70
Ойын-сауық
Pee-wee Herman actor Paul Reubens has died. He was 70. A statement on Paul's Instagram account confirmed the tragic news on Monday, revealing that he had privately fought a six-year battle with cancer. Alongside ‘Pee-wee’s Playhouse' and 'Pee-wee's Big Adventure,' Reubens also showed off his dramatic chops in 'Batman Returns' and 'Blow.' He later returned with his signature character for a Broadway production in 2010, followed by another feature film, ‘Pee-wee’s Big Holiday,' in 2016. In the Instagram tribute, Paul left a message for his longtime fans: 'Please accept my apology for not going public with what I’ve been facing the last six years. I have always felt a huge amount of love and respect from my friends, fans and supporters. I have loved you all so much and enjoyed making art for you.'

This makes me so sad. I remember waking up on Saturday mornings and waking my dad up to watch Pee Wee’s Playhouse with me not knowing how hungover he was. Lol, I’d do anything to have my daddy back. RIP Paul, RIP my dear father. 🙏🏼

I'm still crying about this. I was in the Marines at Camp Lejeune, when Pee-Wee's Playhouse came out (I'm an old man). Some corporal and I commandeered the TV room every Saturday morning, when the show was on - never missed it. Then, the movies were all great. In his professional life, he brought good, wholesome, family entertainment to people. I wouldn't have any problem letting kids watch any of his programs. He was a very funny man, and I am so saddened by this. RIP, Pee-Wee! We will miss you. TEQUILLA!

same. I met him in person at a con 5 years ago and ive been crying on and off randomly when I watch these type of clips. because he truy was a gentle soul under the pee wee persona. im glad I got a chance to tell him we loved him and his work. I really meant it and he could tell. he was nice and humble. signed my figure and gave me a free photo op.
He didn’t wanna break our hearts. His message that he gave us was amazing. Love you, Paul. ❤
I was lucky enough to meet him a few times as a kid, he was such a nice guy! I even have a peewee doll autographed by him. It's missing a leg and the voice box is broken, but I still cherish it!
He never lost his talent, wit and charm, so sorry he was battling this terrible illness. Way too young to pass on, love his smile. What a iconic legendary legacy he leaves behind. ❤ ♥️ 😍🥰😘🤩🌟✨😇♾️🥹
Thank u Ruben for bringing Pee Wee Herman because he show us even being a grown up, we still have that kid in all of us in our hearts
I grew up watching comedy since i was 2 yrs old and seeing Peewee was down the the core HILARIOUS. But when i just saw this just now it makes me sick to my stomach because he was amazing. Much love for his family

Going to miss you Paul thanks for the laughs that you gave me! You will be missed but never forgotten! 🎭🎬🎥📺🎪🌈 🌟💜💔
This one hurts me a ton just like the passing of the artist kim jun gi few months back. I grew up watching pee wees playhourse in the mid 90's on discovery kids by finding it by accident being bored one morning flipping through channels on my parents tv. He helped me discovered the fun world of improv without knowing what improv really was at the time in the early 2000s. I tuned in all the time in all the re-runs. Screaming whenever the secret word was said throughout each episode real loud as loud as I could. I just wished I could've witnessed the show live someday over on the west southern coast someday just to say I saw it with joy. Thank you Pee Wee for helping me discover the word of improv acting as a teen. you helped me through the low ends of my life from your show and movies. You will be severely missed. Unnesscary commenters get off my comment please. Now as a 33 year old I've been doing improv for the past 5 years in my local theater thanks to the bravey you showed me of how fun acting can really be and helped me make friends along the way. from a shy boy to proud acting fan at the improv stage. Hope your resting in peace. :)
I'm 46 and I remember when I was just a kid and Pee Wee's Big Adventure came out. Everyone in my class just imitated the he'll out of that movie. I still use the "I meant to do that" line to this day. Thanks for all of the entertainment through the years Paul and RIP.
This actually Hurts, Grew up watching his 80s Show Pee Wee Playhouse. Never missed an episode as a child growing up in the 80s. Thank you Paul Reubens aka Pee Wee for a awesome childhood. Loved all three Movies too.

Pee-Wee Herman was like Mr. Bean, but as a fully dialogue filled character who wouldn’t just make noises. I didn’t grow up with him, but I did see two of his movies: the Big Adventure and Holiday one. In the holiday film, he didn’t even look old at all and was in his 60s by 2016. All I can say is that Pee-Wee was a funny character who spoke wholesomely and funny while also delivering funny actions. May Paul Reubens Rest In Peace

I hope he made it to heaven too but the sad truth is most people are going to hell. the only way to go to heaven is by Jesus Christ he paid the price By dying on the cross for people sins and people need to believe in him. The wages of sin is death the gift of life is through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. There are videos of people who are once atheist And they went to hell and their stories are here on KZread to watch . They make videos to warn others.
