Not helping matters was that Candy was rapidly gaining weight during his time on-set because of homesickness and the fact that he had quit smoking just before filming started. Adding to that was his discovery that the Argonauts had been sold to another owner behind his back — after he'd agreed to shoot on-location videos promoting their upcoming season ticket sale. In response, Candy went on a two-day tequila bender.share
