In John Candy’s best movies, he tended to play characters with a real heart of gold. It turns out that in real life, the Canadian actor was no different. That was on full display too in resurfaced footage of the late actor, as Candy agreed to let a reporter interview him as long as he agreed, in return, to get a perm with him.
Of all the things someone could have requested in return for doing an interview, a perm sure is an unexpected and hilarious choice. However, that's exactly what John Candy asked a dedicated broadcast reporter of Channel 7 Buffalo News to do with him to be guaranteed an interview.

00:26 John was getting his hair permed this morning for his role in the movie and agreed to talk with us, as long as I got my hair permed too.
00:33 And I appreciate that. That's kind of you to actually get your hair done with me. It should be fun. I'm guaranteeing a lot of laughs with this one.
00:40 Though he's made it to the top, John candidly admits that he's still a bit starstruck by big names like Steve Martin.
00:46 Sure, absolutely. You know, and then you meet him and you realize, you know, he's not real funny at all.
