An old interview of John Candy has resurfaced and it's reminding us all about how truly kind-hearted he was. In the interview, John was getting his hair permed for his role in the 1987 film Planes, Trains and Automobiles. In order to get an interview, the interviewer Mike Randall, also had to get his hair permed alongside John (because journalists will do anything to get a good interview)! John was happy to discuss anything, though. "That's kind of you to actually get your hair done with me," John says in the interview. He talks about working alongside Steve Martin in the film, noting that he was still star-struck to work with him. John also says that Steve is not actually that funny in real life (but we assume this is a joke to get some laughs, of course).
