Joey Lawrence recalls fishing trip with icon John Candy

Joey Lawrence attended the panel at 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut where he opened up about his first ever fishing trip as a kid, which was with comedy icon, John Candy.

Also at the panel were his younger siblings Matthew Lawrence and Andrew "Andy" Lawrence, as they opened up about their memorable stories from the industry.

“I caught a flounder in St. Petersburg, Florida, with Carl Reiner, who's a very famous director, [and] I didn't even realize who he was, but he was very famous back in the '60s, the '50s and '70s,” said Joey about the experience.

“Anyway, I was doing a movie called Summer Rental with John Candy. I caught a flounder. First time I'd ever fished. An incredible-size flounder. I guess it was a massive flounder, and the chef cooked it and John Candy ate it for lunch," he added, "John Candy's the best."

Sharing a story of his own, Andy said, “I did a show with Tom Arnold [Tom on CBS], who was a very good friend of mine. And, and he threw me in the back of his car with one of his buddies — who was Arnold Schwarzenegger — and they had me hold a lit cigar. I was 7. They just thought it was so funny to see the little kid holding a cigar in a Rolls-Royce.”
