In the history of cinema, there have been a number of notable actors who’ve managed to leave indelible marks on the hearts and minds of audiences, and John Candy was certainly one of them. The beloved star, known fondly for his roles in movies such as "Uncle Buck" and "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" passed away in 1994, though his legacy is alive and well. In fact, fellow Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds recently revealed that he’s making a movie about Candy (which I’m now very excited for). And shortly after he delivered the news, Candy’s kids shared some responses.

Ryan Reynolds felt compelled to make the announcement on Twitter after seeing that John Candy was trending. The actor didn’t hesitate to show his love for Candy before explaining that he and his production company, Maximum Effort, have teamed up with Colin Hanks for a doc on Candy’s life. Reynolds finished out his tweet by simply saying, “Expect tears,” and I’d honestly expect nothing less.
