Bill Murray comes to defend his old friend and colleague SNL Alum John Belushi.
During a recent performance about ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, Murray Journalist Bob Woodward hit Belushi in his biography ‘Wired’ from 1984, who described the life and career of the star ‘The Blues Brothers’. Murray called Woodward’s look at Belushi ‘completely inaccurate’ and suspects that his sources were drawn from ‘the outer, outer circle’ of people who knew him.
“If he did this to Belushi, what he did with Nixon is probably also polluted for me. I can’t handle it, “said Murray. “You could have two sources and such, but the two sources he had, if he had them for the ‘wired’ book, were so far outside the inner circle that the criminal was cruel.”
Murray suspects that Woodward Takedown may have been motivated by jealousy. He pointed out that Woodward only ‘the third most famous person from Wheaton, Ill’ is behind professional footballer Red Grange and Belushi.
“Belushi made the career of people possible. Mine would be one of them, “said Murray. “There are many people who slept on John Belushi’s couch. There are many people who stayed in his house for free until they made it in New York. And I am one. He died in an unfortunate way, but man, he was still the best stage actor I have ever seen. ‘
Murray further explained that he was asked to contribute to the book, but from the start thought the project “funny smoke” and refused to help.
“I wanted nothing to do with it,” said Murray. “It went exactly where I thought it was going. Even worse than I thought it was going. The title alone was cold. ‘
