22 Celebrities Who Owned A Sports Team That You Had No Clue About

9. John Candy — Toronto Argonauts

Before he became a Hollywood funnyman, John Candy was born in Ontario, Canada. And while Candy would find his greatest professional success south of the border, his heart, and his wallet, kept him attached to his home country as he joined LA Kings owner Bruce McNall and The Great One himself Wayne Gretzky to purchase the Canadian Football League’s Toronto Argonauts in 1991. Unfortunately the actor did not have much time to enjoy his investment before his untimely death three years later.
