Paul Reubens, the "Pee-wee Herman" actor, left a lasting legacy after he lost his battle with cancer Sunday. He was 70. While Reubens was remembered by many in Hollywood, he was paid special tribute by his longtime friend and former roommate, David Hasselhoff.
The "Baywatch" star shared an emotional statement about the late star and reminisced on their time together. "Paul Reubens was a great, great friend," Hasselhoff shared on social media. "He gave me the muppets for my birthday and never forgot anyone’s birthday from our class." "He was in my class at CalArts and room mates!"

Reubens signed the photo with a special message to his dear friend. "To my ‘ol college buddy David aarrrrrrr! Your pal, Peewee Herman..."
