Paul "Pee-Wee Herman" Reubens… we will miss your acting, dancing, laughs and smiles that you gave us over the many years. You really did give us a Big Adventure! You will be truly missed. 😎
I don’t know what the world is going to do without his kindness and his love.
I had no idea he had passed. So sad. He will be sorely missed. Heaven got another funnyman up there.
Rip peewee Herman
The 80s were an amazing time to be a kid, and he is one of the biggest reasons why. Thanks for the memories Pee Wee
# I WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN
Life is short !
Read JAMES 4:14 in your Bible
" A prayer to go to HEAVEN "
Lord I am a sinner and I believe that JESUS died on the cross for my sins. Buried afterwards, then rose from the dead,
Read LUKE 23:42-43 in your Bible
If that incident happened in todays world he would have been canceled and never heard of again
So hypocrite , they all abandoned him when all happen was his private life
Liked his movie he was different rip
Why?
Paul Reuben also played in Cheech and Chong movies and on a movie called Mystery Men as the Spleen.
Sorry to hear he passed. Wow I think much different about Mr. Reuben now.. Not the rumours. He really was a good egg. My kids loved his show, it was brilliant. Rest in Peace dear Sir..😢
I don’t understand why “heard any good jokes lately” was iconic or him making light of a situation.. could anyone explain
How is there indecent exposure at an adult movie theater ?
Going public would have been too sad for fans. I'm glad he didn't reveal it until the end, it meant people didn't give him false sympathy. RIP Paul (Pee Wee), I did enjoy your comedy, even as a teenager!
His death in Buffy the Vampire Slayer was the ultimate death!!! That and his roles in cheech and Chong were awesome!! Blow was good too!!
RIP Paul, you're really a funny man!
Devastated ❤
Has it been that long?
