Fred Willard Claims He Exposed Himself as a Tribute to Pee-Wee

Fred Willard says his lewd conduct arrest was all just a big misunderstanding.

“Paul Reubens turns 60 next month, and I couldn’t figure out what to get the man that has everything,” explained the comedic actor. “Fondling my nutsack in a porno theater seemed like the perfect way to say I care.”

Reubens appreciated Willard’s gesture.

“I didn’t think any of my celebrity pals would be brave enough to pay tribute to me once the Internet came along,” the man better known as Pee-wee Herman told OMGG.com. “It feels good to finally be recognized as a pioneer in public masturbation.”
