Daryl Hannah Recalls Working With Late Actor John Candy in 1984’s ‘Splash’: ‘I Loved Him’

Daryl Hannah recalled working with late John Candy on the 1984 film Splash and revealed the project she had in the works with the actor before his death.

The pair worked together on the comedy film, which was directed by Ron Howard and starred Tom Hanks and Eugene Levy. Throughout filming, John would “come by and drop little french fries” in Daryl’s mouth as the mermaid tail limited her mobility on set. “ Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel were writing the script,” she said of the film, which was “sort of a love story.” Had the project come to fruition, John would’ve been Daryl’s “romantic lead.”
