That time Paul Reubens gave Pee-wee the gayest send-off possible—in the arms of Joe Manganiello
passed away at the age of 70 after a private, years-long battle with cancer. RIP.To many, Reubens will always be known as Pee-wee Herman—the career-defining comedic character he created while performing with LA’s famed comedy troupe, The Groundlings—who went on to star in his own television series (the groundbreaking Pee-wee’s Playhouse), two feature films (Big Adventure in ’85 and Big Top Pee-wee in ’88), and became a celebrity in his own right.For many of us, he was an inspiration: Pee-wee never let the world tell him he was an outsider—he just created a world all his own, one filled with joy and self-discovery, and invited the rest of us in.A post shared by Pee-wee Herman (@peeweeherman)Childlike, whimsical, and comically naive, Pee-wee was a character unlike any other, one whose offbeat humor, specific sense of style, and innate weirdness made him something of a queer icon.
