Macaulay Culkin Shares Touching Memory of John Candy Being the Best

Like far too many child stars, Macaulay Culkin had a dad who was a real piece of work, and John Candy clocked it right from the start. Before Culkin rocketed into the stratosphere with Home Alone, he was just another kid actor in the Candy vehicle, Uncle Buck, where the comedy legend made it a point to watch over his little co-star: “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.” (EW)
