The younger brother of deceased actor John Belushi attended last Friday’s special celebration of SNL. John and his brother Jim Belushi had been a part of the classic sketch series at some point, making the night a special one for Jim.
He was dressed in an all-black ensemble, featuring a slim suit with a shirt and matching pair of shoes. He wore glasses and flaunted a tidily trimmed stubble, which was already graying over. This gave his face a distinguished look that was a contrast to his dark, short-cropped hair.
Where is Jim Belushi now?
After many years of being an actor, Jim Belushi left Hollywood behind for a quieter lifestyle on his acres of farmland, where he practices cannabis cultivation. Following his move away from the fast life of the entertainment industry in the past decade, he dedicated himself to running Belushi’s Farm, where he grows and distributes high-quality marijuana.
He has expressed once in an interview that he has no plans of returning to the industry because he has done all that there is to do. He did it all and attended public events like award ceremonies and movie premieres, however, this SNL anniversary was not to be overlooked. Jim seems content with his new life as he believes cannabis can change people.
Jim Belushi’s Hollywood journey
Before reinventing himself as a marijuana farmer, Jim had a flourishing Hollywood career. He was a household name who had starred in TV and film roles and forged his own legacy separate from his famous brother, John. He first received recognition as a Saturday Night Live cast member in the early 1980s, just like his brother John.
He later appeared in various blockbuster movies, some of which include About Last Night, K-9, and Curly Sue of 1991. He is perhaps most famous for portraying the lovable but obstinate father in the long-running TV sitcom According to Jim, which aired from 2001 to 2009.
