John Belushi: The Final 24 (Full Documentary) The Story of His Final 24 Hours

I was in the hospital 30 times from over dose in Los Angeles California. In 1991-2000. My mom took me back to the Navajo reservation and healed me. I’m sober 23 years. Always praying 🙏

Dan Akroyd made a promise to John that if anything ever happened to him he'd take care of Judy and the family , and to this day Dan has kept his promise, now thats a friend.

The actor portraying Belushi nails him 100%.

It's heartbreaking to watch this because it's plain how much John was loved by Judy and Dan, and how much they still miss him.

After my divorce I was a Fentanyl junkie for 3 years. $200 a day habit. I wouldn’t get outta bed every morning unless I had it. I had to get high to work, but I had to work to get high. I wasn’t living, I was simply existing. I thank God every day for helping me put the dope down.

Sadder part is there was a young man idolizing(looking up-to) Belushi. That young man would soon be known as.... Chris Farley

“You get a sense that we do meet those who’ve gone before and we meet them in the form that we knew them and they meet us in the form that they knew us, and just for awhile - not forever- not for eternity , there is a reunion there. And it's going to be one rocking night.” Dan Akroyd. What a beautiful sentiment!

That actor playing Belushi really does look a lot like him which makes it even more eerie

My family grew up neighbors with the Belushi family. I was 2 years behind him in school 2 years ahead of Jim. Played baseball in the field behind my house..and I knew them as just regular people. Good hard working family. John passed away on my birthday which has since marked that day as a remembrance of John. It's a bittersweet day now. A very sad loss of an amazing person

His wife seems like a lovely woman, and Dan really was a good friend. Whether you get addicted because "everyone in Hollywood is doing it", or your trying to bury trauma, or you're self medicating for whatever reason, the end result is always the same. Being an addict seems like it is the loneliest, most secretive, and self destructive place to be, and it's heartbreaking to know your fellow human's are suffering.

Akroyd seems like a real one. The manager too, you can tell even all these years later, he still feels responsible.

Bless Dan Aykroyd. What a guy... What a friend...

Dan was impacted...you can really tell from this interview, and how much he loved John and most likely misses him still.

I thank father god every day for a judge in az. Judge moon, he gave me a chance to get off heroine. I have 15 year's off heroine now because judge moon let me go to rehab. R.I.P John

As a former addict Dan Ackroyd sure seems like a good guy, very upfront and honest. What a good friend. I like how he said we were able to meter the dose. Classic! I am so glad I escaped from jail and with my life. I used to speedball frequently and almost died, I was on the hospital for 3 months and came out a changed man. I don't fault Belushi, drugs really transform your entire mindset and your want's and needs are very skewed. If you are struggling please get help, there is hope! Methadone was my answer and I have been tapering off after 3 years of being clean. There is hope! Don't give up!

Dan Akroyd was gonna put Belushi in Ghostbusters just cus thats his boy, Akroyd's a good dude!

Like they said, you can’t go back & understand that time... John was my neighbor. He had a brownstone across the street from second city tv. I was at those parties back then before they said he actually started using in 79... He was bodacious & magnanimous. A very giving person. It was an honor. Peace my friend.

He begged his body guard to stay, but the man saw how well John was doing and said, “You don’t need me any more.” But Belushi was doing well BECAUSE HIS BODY GUARD WAS THERE.

I remember hearing "John Belushi died", and thinking "noooooo, no, no, no . . . ". Anyone could stand up and tell jokes to make people laugh but Belushi could naturally make you laugh just by his antics and facial expressions. No other comedian would ever compare and we had lost a way to laugh forever. A truly great loss.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m impressed that the guy they got to play Belushi actually looks remarkably like him. It was good casting for sure.
