Ryan Reynolds Talks About John Candy

uh I wasn’t aware uh that he kind of lived at this intersection of being a people pleaser but also starting to kind of work on mental health which is something nobody talked about back then. It’s still a little you know tricky to talk about but if you’re people pleaser and you are dealing with mental health issues you’re actually it’s actually a really terrible combination because you know you you’re the people pleaser never wants to burden anybody else and the only way to really kind of deal with stuff you’re going through is to talk about it. So they’re kind of at at odds with one another. So, you know, that’s kind of where he lived. And I think it really did affect him in ways uh both deep, you know, and and tragically to be realistic. I think it was sort of a a contributing factor to, you know, how how how he left us.
