Aug 08, 2020

There are some people in life who simply enjoy making others happy. They enjoy making people laugh, feel good, and truly appreciate the small things in life. The world found one of 'these' people in comedic actor, John Candy. As a fan favorite, John Candy was as humble as they come. In a video that recently resurfaced, Candy gives an interview about his role in the film Planes, Trains and Automobiles that he played in 1987. This interview reminds us just how much we love his attitude and why he was such an influential force in acting.

As a down-to-earth guy, John Candy was willing to answer interview questions honestly. When discussing the task of getting his hair permed for the sake of this role, interviewer Mike Randall also had to get his hair permed, as you can see in the video. As John begins the interview, he lets Randall know that he appreciates his kindness and willingness to get his hair done alongside him.

Candy goes on to talk about what it was like to work alongside Steve Martin and cuts some jokes throughout the conversation. However, it is hard to really focus on what Candy is saying when you cannot get past just how good of person he really is. There is no hiding the fact that John Candy is just a regular guy with a kind heart.

He may have died in 1994, but the memory of John Candy lives on in our hearts forever, and watching this video reminds of just how naturally funny he was. Many viewers commented on this video with their heart-felt messages about Candy and the legend that he left behind. Remembering hit movies, like 'Uncle Buck,' 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles,' and 'Vacation,' the talent that Candy possessed is unmatched. Filling the hearts of viewers is what he always sought out to do, and it is apparent that he made an impact on many audiences around the world.

His commitment to getting a perm for the legendary 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' movie appears to have paid off. In fact, the late 80's film grossed over $10 million in its first five days in theaters. Staying in the top ten positive for seven weeks and receiving critical acclaim, fans and critics alike fell in love with this comedic, heartfelt classic. Today it has a 91% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It is safe to say that we deeply miss John Candy and his contributes to the world of filmmaking, but what we miss the most is his love for others.
