Magic Mike hunk Joe Manganiello hunks onto the cast of Pee-wee’s Big Holiday
The association between the words “beefcake” and “Pee-wee Herman” has finally been cemented with the announcement that Joe Manganiello of Magic Mike and Magic Mike XXL fame has joined the cast of Pee-wee’s Big Holiday, the first Pee-wee film to see a green light in 27 years. It’s unclear what role Manganiello will play in the film, but he’ll be joining the long, linked, meaty chain of beefcakes that populate the Pee-wee canon, including escaped con Mickey, Cowboy Curtis, and Ricardo, just to name a few. “I am so glad [Manganiello and I] are finally getting to work together. This totally makes up for being cut out of Magic Mike and Magic Mike 2!” said an in-character Reubens of the casting choice, while also doing what Pee-wee does best: sparking imaginations everywhere.
