May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face. And may the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars. Rest in peace Georgie

Wow. I can't even imagine doing 20 years. I did a 3 month, a 6 month, and a 17 month bid. I was lost for awhile after that last one. I can't imagine getting out after 20 years. I'm glad I turned my life around. Now I'm running an eBay business and starting to write about my journey through life part time. For anyone out there that feels like your stuck in life, all it takes is a shift in perspective. You can design whatever future you want regardless of where you are now. Forgive your enemies and build a better you. Nothing pisses your enemies off more than you being successful.

I hadn't heard that he passed. RIP It is really amazing how close Johnny Depp got to his voice in the movie. Blow is one of my favorite movies, but actually hearing him speak and seeing him in person gives me an entirely new level of respect for Depp's talents as an actor.

Blow is one of my favorite movies but after seeing this interview I have a whole new level of respect for this man

[evanflowforever]

Never underestimate the power of greed. Well said George. Live forever

[droopydonttrip]

George jung is actually really humble and for him saying johnny depp did a hell of a job on the acting and the movie was on point with his reality im definitely watching it with a new mind set

[VADYB]

"anybody who plays these games of power and does'nt understand the evils of it and the greed that it's bestowed upon is a fool"

[NA--]

This is the first time I’ve seen him in person and not as Johny Dept. I love the movie Blow and has taught me a lot believe it or not to be a good father to my children. Till this day I have not broken a promise to anyone and also to myself to never do drugs. I was heart broken in the movie as a 17 year old when he broke the promise to his daughter. So because of that, I will never break a promise to anyone. RIP George!

Dopest shit ever.

Interview was cut short cause Vlad kept asking stupid questions and pissed OG off

[aliwooz]

Depp did a phenomenal job playing Boston. The part where it was his birthday and he was slouched in the chair just like George is slouched a bit in this interview. amazing attention to detail

[austinwilson]

the money was just a tool to play the game. Realest comment ive ever heard

[DA-Red-Panda]

Looks like Vlad did absolutely no research preparing for this interview. He just watched the movie Blow and said he was ready.

[andrei]

Throughout my lifetime, i’ve left pieces of my heart here and there. And now there’s almost not enough to stay alive. RIP

[usernameking]

Never ask a man if he has seen someone being executed. In his line of buissnes he most likely has seen that shit more than once.

Wonderful words from a man who lived his life free as he could while most are in bondage… Salute Boston George you are now totally free… RIPOWER
