John Candy was severely depressed. He hated himself for being so fat. He tried often tried to lose weight but was clearly unsuccessful.
Every time I see him in a movie, I feel sad. I don't see the humor. I see a sad man playing the fat man caricature.
Tragic life.

I'm saddened knowing he died prematurely, but I don't see him as a caricature of a fat guy in most of his movies. That's Chris Farley for you.

Then you're missing out. While he may have suffered from severe depression, he was also a successful film star and the owner of a pro sports franchise. His life wasn't all about his depression.

You are way off base. I don't know where you have gotten this information but, you are wrong. There is one book I know of where John is painted as a saddened figure but the author never interviewed John or his friends and family. John loved life and loved to make people laugh. He was a wonderful family man who lived for his kids.
You should feel great when you watch his movies and only feel bad that his life was too short and we didn't get more laughs from him.

You haven't seen enough of his work and probably have read one too many "bios". The guy was amazing with SCTV and in most of his movies (although, like pretty much every performer, he had a couple of stinkers).
The "Fishin' Musician".

Wtf?
I don't see him for his weight at all.
He's just a likable guy or character in maybe all his movies..
He's also great in Rookie of the Year
