John Candy filmed a memorable scene in the 1984 film 'Splash' on very little sleep, as revealed by longtime Hollywood producer Brian Grazer. Grazer shared anecdotes of Candy, who passed away at age 43 in 1994, during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show. Grazer confirmed that Candy was indeed hungover during the racquetball scene in the movie, having stayed out late with Jack Nicholson the night before.
Grazer mentioned Candy's endurance, noting that despite his late night, Candy showed up to work and even got hit in the head by a racquetball during filming. The producer recalled that Candy's interaction with Nicholson led to him being late and hungover on set, but Candy managed to deliver a professional performance.
