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.’

I'm gonna really miss him he was a funny actor and was able to make my gloomy days better rest in piece
We lost the American equivalent of Mr. Bean. So sad when you lose someone like that, it always feels like it's too soon when it happens.
Rip pee-wee
His only blemish was that he was jerking off in public in a porn theater. I always wondered why he just didn't stay at home and stroked off his nut to some VHS porn. Was he hoping for a helping hand from another theater-goer?
Oh well. RIP Paul Reubens.
RIP
Good riddance
Thank you Paul
Sorry you are gone, Pau Reuben, you will be missed. We all have a public life, a personal life, and a secret life. I think that people should shut up about Reuben's 1991 incident.
Ohhh😢. Miss him already
Regardless of what you think of the guy, I'll always admit he was best watched stoned!
Paul! Go be a Rebel in Heaven! You will never be a Loner! ❤❤
Thank you!
Wish we didnt have to bring up the past "troubles" he had, during a tribute video does that really need to be added? I get if it was a biography or something but not a tribute, with that being said it was still touch and he will be missed.

R.I.P. Paul Reubens / Pee Wee Herman.
People back in the 80's and 90's hated Pee Wee's Character, I myself and other Kids from the day loved the silliness from the shows and movies. He will be loved and greatly missed.
