Ryan Reynolds and Macaulay Culkin reunited on the red carpet of John Candy: I Like Me

The Amazon Prime documentary is produced by Ryan Reynolds, who grew up watching the films of his idol John Candy, and explains that Candy represents for him the heart of Canada.

Macaulay Culkin, star of Home Alone, recalls his experience of filming with John Candy in Uncle Buck (1989): he describes Candy as an almost fatherly figure, someone who took the time to discreetly check up on him on the set.

Jennifer Candy is John Candy‘s daughter, and she co-produces the documentary, sharing cathartic testimonials about her father in the process.

Christopher Candy is the son of John Candy, who also co-produced the documentary. The latter shares personal and inner memories to better understand the man behind the legend.

The half-sister of Blake Lively, wife of Ryan Reynolds, reflects the Lively family’s support for Blake’s husband’s project, and underlines the importance of the event in their family circle.

Here, Tom Hanks‘ son, Colin Hanks. Speaking about the project, Hanks says he wanted the documentary to convey the same emotions found in Candy’s films: sadness, joy, prospects, but always with a sense of humor.
