John Candy was a good man from what I've heard. Sure miss that goofball ❤

[drewjay]

Everything I've heard about Dan Ackroyd makes him sound like an absolute treasure

[Luschan]

I’m sure that Jim helped Dan and John Candy heal just as much as they helped him heal. Being around Jim who resembles his brother was probably a comfort for them in their grief.

Jim does not get the respect he deserves. He was a wonderful man during a very trying time in my family. Jim and his mother really do care about the people they work with, and the people around them

Hearing that just makes me tear up. This film is so beautiful and is filled with such phenomenal people that are no longer here with us. Rest in peace to all the actors in this film who have passed. ❤

We need more genuine love and loyalty like this in the world right now. With all the negativity and hate blasting on the news and social media all the time it feels like we have to work at it to find uplifting content like this. That’s not right 😢

Him and his brother grew up nearby me they were in Wheaton IL. I talk to people who knew family they were awesome brothers!

[fastfordman]

Much love to the Blues Brothers band as a whole and as individual musicians. They are an amazing group made of amazing musicians. We all have our vices. John’s just got the best of him too soon. RIP John but long live The Blues Brothers.

It would be nice to see the full interview.

[Grace-qh]

This interview is so heartwarming, and holy moly all this time I had no idea Jim Belushi played the Woodsman in hoodwinked, I love the movie even more than I did before now.

[AdamFoster-jczt]

Wow, what an amazing story. He really knew at that point how many lives his brother touched. He'll never truly know just how many though, I'm still super impressed by John's version of "She caught the katy".

[ashtonyoshi]

I'm glad his show according to Jim introduced me to him!! I wasn't born here and moved out to US in 01 so wasn't familiar with his stuff before that

[petejones]

I always thought that John belushi looked like Al Capone

[ecbst]

Good thing his brother's coat tails were big enough for two.

[J.R.in_WV]

Dan Aykroyd and John Candy were / are some of the greatest to grace the screen for my generation. Jim Belushi, Meh…..but I do enjoy him in the Blues Brothers act with Danny and the boys….backup singers are always a needed part of a big band.

[souperstar]

I wish Jim Belushi would have been in the second Blues Brother movie instead of John Goodman.

[bicentensol]

Hope you're enjoying your retirement Jim

[andypandy]

Is it just me or is he staring to look a bit like gene hackman?
