Ryan Reynolds’ Heartfelt Tribute to Late Comedian John Candy
Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds is deeply remembering the late actor-comedian John Candy, as he expressed recently on his Instagram. The actor shared an Instagram post by @retrorewind80s honoring the late Hollywood icon.
“Sometimes outta nowhere…I’ll think of this guy and miss the living hell out of him,” the post reads with a picture of the late actor with his infectious cheerfulness still shining through. The original post honors the Splash star as one of the funniest men in the movies.
It commends his impeccable comedic timing, charisma, and ability to brighten up any film with his brief cameos, similar to the 1990 blockbuster Home Alone, in which he played the kind-hearted polka musician who helps Kate McCallister.
The man had perfect comedic timing on screen, charisma that was second to none, and the ability to make every film better with even the smallest of cameos.
The Deadpool star shared the post on his Instagram stories with the instrumental version of The Dream Academy’s song Power to Believe, which was also featured in Candy’s 1987 comedy-drama Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
Earlier this year, marked the 30th anniversary of the Uncle Buck star, who passed away in his sleep reportedly with a heart attack. Prior to Reynolds, John Candy’s kids Jennifer Candy-Sullivan and Christopher Candy also remembered their father on his 30th anniversary.
The Upcoming Documentary to Honor the Home Alone Star
Colin Hanks, son of the Hollywood star Tom Hanks is directing a documentary about the late actor with producer Glen Zipper. Speaking to Deadline at the Cannes Film Festival, Zipper emphasized how Candy’s on-screen presence has been a guaranteed mood-booster.
You can’t think of a film of John Candy’s — if you turned it on the day where you were in a bad mood and you gave him 90 minutes of your life — there’s no way you don’t come out the other side feeling better.
The producers shared that they wish to have the same effect, leaving viewers feeling uplifted, just like they would after watching one of Candy’s films. He further stated,
And so the documentary’s going to have to do the same thing. And that’s Colin’s vision… He wants the John Candy documentary to leave you with the same sort of feeling you would have seeing a John Candy scripted film.
Along with Zipper, Ryan Reynolds’ production company Maximum Effort is also involved with the production. The documentary has reportedly also received the support of the Home Alone star’s family.
Home Alone is available to stream on Disney+.
