Pee Wee Herman Reveals Hunky New Co-Star For Latest Adventure
It’s not a surprise that Paul Reubens is currently filming Pee Wee’s next adventure. The actor, who has embodied the role of Pee Wee Herman for decades, has expressed interest in bringing the character back for years now, and it finally happened last week when he started filming Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday. During filming, Reubens decided to take a break to share off his latest co-star, the hunky Joe Manganiello.
The two took a small break from shooting Pee Wee’s Big Holiday to take a few pictures, which Reubens shared on Twitter. Manganiello is captured riding a bike, as Pee Wee gleefully looks on from the back seat.

Although we don’t know what the extent of Joe Manganiello’s role is, we do know that this film is heading straight to Netflix when all is said and done.
According to Deadline, this film will see Pee Wee take his first big holiday trip and a “journey of a life time in an epic story of friendship and destiny.”
Of the Magic Mike star, Reubens said, “Joe’s already my friend – and he’s tremendously talented and a terrific person. I am so glad we are finally going to get to work together. This totally makes up for being cut out of Magic Mike and Magic Mike 2!”
As for Joe, here’s what he had to say about Paul: “Paul Reubens is one of the great comic geniuses of our time. Growing up, my Saturday mornings were all about Pee-wee Herman. I saw everything he did. I can’t believe that I’m going to get to share scenes with one of the iconic figures of my childhood.”
Throughout the filming Reubens has been sharing some photos.

In his blog post, Reubens posted in character as Pee Wee Herman to tell his fans what the first week of filming looked like.
“Days 1 – 5 are complete! I hitchhiked, got a few rides, then drove all over the place in my cool car. Spent the night in a haunted motel! Even did a movie stunt. Then my stuntman did it way better! We start a new week tomorrow and I already know things are going to get HAIR-Y! Stay tuned…”
