John Candy's comedic timing was legendary, but according to "Splash" director Brian Grazer, his commitment to fun occasionally extended past working hours. In a now-famous anecdote, Candy's dedication to partying with Jack Nicholson resulted in a hilariously hungover performance during a key scene.

The night before filming the racquetball scene, Candy and Nicholson reportedly painted the town red, staying out until the wee hours. By the time Candy arrived on set, he was undeniably worse for wear. The scene called for Candy to react quickly to a serve, but his reflexes were dulled by fatigue. In a stroke of comedic serendipity, the ball actually hit Candy in the head – a mishap that ended up staying in the final cut.

This incident perfectly captures Candy's spirit. Though a consummate professional, he clearly enjoyed life to the fullest. His ability to weave his off-screen energy into his on-screen persona is a big part of what made him such a beloved comedic talent. The "Splash" racquetball scene serves as a reminder that sometimes, the best moments in film come from a little bit of unexpected chaos.
