HBO's upcoming documentary 'Pee-wee as Himself', produced by the Safdie Brothers, is set to premiere on May 23rd. Directed by Matt Wolf, it showcases more than 40 hours of previously unreleased interview footage with Paul Reubens, who reflects on significant aspects of his life, including his recent coming-out as gay. The film is divided into two parts, addressing Reubens' childhood and early career in the first part and the complexities of his fame in the second. Influential figures contributing to the documentary include sister Abby Rubenfeld and notable personalities like Tim Burton and Judd Apatow.
"Driven by a soul-baring interview with Paul Reubens, the man behind the iconic character Pee-wee Herman, Pee-wee as Himself is the definitive portrait of the comedic performer."
"The documentary features over 40 hours of interview footage filmed before Reubens' passing, allowing him to open up about his personal and professional challenges."
