John Candy

Bullshit. He was simply too big to disappear. He would be noticed/recognized everywhere.

He was such an unlikely candidate for a heart attack. Suspicious.

Fat?

He was obese, sedentary and a heavy smoker. He also had a family history of male relatives dying young from heart attacks.

that is such a troll post. OP shame on you

yet an interesting set of conjectures. So where is he now OP? My guess, working as a mamasan in an upcountry Thai brothel. Sex change and all

He had a lot of work done and is now Elle Fanning.

Of all the people to cook up a conspiracy theory and you come up with John Candy?

Candy's scene in JFK is EXCELLENT! The script is filled with food references. So good.

I've been a John Candy fan for decades and have read a lot about him, but I won't bother to waste anyone's time explaining why OP is a raving asswipe.

However, he never wanted to do the movie Wagons East but he was afraid to back out because he didn't want to get sued.

He'd decided he wanted to move into directing and producing and Wagons East was just a paycheque and his last planned movie.

He was afraid to go to Mexico because they were going to be filming in a higher altitude and he already had trouble breathing and also needed hip surgery. His doctor tried to talk him out of the trip, but again his fear of being sued made him go.

He also confided in friends that he was worried something very bad was going to happen and wanted to travel home for the weekends but they were in such a remote area that travel was very difficult.

The only good thing that came from this movie was the fact that the movie bombed and the producers lost a pile of money.

great idea for a movie!

I think the reason people love conspiracy theories is that it makes them feel special.

[quote]Only lets make it a Fatty Arbuckle biopic and move the Coke bottle scenes to Tijuana.

And see if Julia Roberts is up for playing a young Hattie McDaniel... that was a lost opportunity.

^ Sorry I fucked that up... I meant to quote "great idea for a movie!" Mobile's a bitch and Siri doesn't take diction all that well.

Wouldn't his Dr trying to get him not to do the movie be enough to avoid being sued or at least winning. It wasn't like nobody knew he wasn't in good health and it would be very risky for him to work in this environment.

Chrissy Metz volunteered to play John Candy in the upcoming biopic. But she backed out when she was told that the role did not involve any actual candy.

R15 John Candy, like many of us who are fat, was very sensitive about his weight and health. He was not willing to back out of a movie because of his doctor's orders because that would mean acknowledging that his weight had become an issue.

And sadly, he was worried about everyone involved losing their jobs as the only reason the movie was financed was because it was starring John Candy.

He told his agent, "I don't want to be the guy who puts the entire crew out of work."

Remember the urban legend that Rick Moranis was killed jogging along a train track?

That was a strange one.

That' very sad R17. He was a very gifted man.
