@moviemomentsofficial: Macaulay Culkin says John Candy was one of the first to notice his father was a “monster” While filming Uncle Buck in 1989, 8-year-old Macaulay Culkin said John Candy seemed to recognize how difficult his relationship with his father, Kit Culkin, was. Culkin recalled Candy checking in on him and asking whether everything was okay at home, describing the actor as having a “paternal” presence on set. Years later, Culkin said Candy’s kindness stood out because “not a lot of people” cared about what he was going through at the time. Follow Movie Moments (us) for more!
