"All of a sudden, the fame and the money came, and he became an infamous monster. He was already not a good guy."
"I think John was looking a little side-eyed, like, 'Is everything alright? You doing good? Good day? Everything's alright? Everything's good at home?'"
"It doesn't happen that often. It actually happened less as time went on. I wish I got more of that in my life. It's important that I remember that. I remember John caring when not a lot of people did."
Macaulay Culkin was eight when he co-starred with John Candy in Uncle Buck (1989). Kit Culkin, his father and manager, accompanied him on set and the relationship was later severed. John Candy perceived that Kit's behavior toward Culkin was problematic, and that dynamic intensified after Home Alone's box-office success, when Kit became more notorious.

John Candy was married to Rosemary Hobor for 15 years and was father to Chris and Jennifer, who recalled his encouragement to be authentic.
