Colin Hanks is all about working on yourself.<\/p>\n

The actor and filmmaker, 47, who started in teen roles on shows like Roswell and in films like Orange County, found success as an adult on shows like Mad Men and Dexter. But Hanks, who is the son of Hollywood legend Tom Hanks, is also a thriving documentarian. He’s made significant waves with his latest project, a documentary about the beloved comedy star John Candy called John Candy: I Like Me. While on tour to promote the doc, which was produced by Ryan Reynolds, Hanks mentioned that he believed how essential it is for people to try therapy to work on their mental health, saying that he believes “white men in their 40s \u2014 they should all be doing therapy.”<\/p>\n

The conversation, which was reported by PEOPLE<\/a>, was rooted in a discussion that Hanks had with Candy’s kids,\u00a0Christopher Candy\u00a0and\u00a0Jennifer Candy-Sullivan. The duo\u00a0served as co-producers of the film, along with John’s wife, Rosemary Margaret Hobor. During their talks, he learned that John Candy’s father had died when he was 5.<\/p>\n

“And then when I connected with Chris, he had mentioned that [John] had just started to do that therapeutic work that a lot of people do in their 40s, specifically white men in their 40s \u2014 they should all be doing therapy,” Hanks told the crowd. “And so once I found out that he had started to do that work and was really starting, that got me going, that really got me thinking, ‘Okay, what are the coping mechanisms that he learned as a kid that kept him alive, that made him who he was?’ “<\/p>\n

Navigating the grief of losing his father so young is what Hanks believes they’re celebrating with the doc.<\/p>\n

“That outgoing, genuine, gregarious, caring individual \u2014 that’s all coping,” Hanks continued. “That’s how he was raised.”<\/p>\n

John Candy died in 1994 of a heart attack at the age of 43.<\/p>\n
