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.
