Jim Belushi’s late brother John Belushi is still alive in his dreams.

For those unaware, John Adam Belushi, who was an actor, comedian, singer, and musician lost his life at the age of 33 on March 5, 1982.

An accidental overdose due to acute cocaine and heroin intoxication, a combination known as a "speedball” claimed his life.

After 43 years of the Saturday Night Live star’s death, his younger brother Jim still gets “little visits” from him.

Referring to the iconic comedy theater in Chicago, he opened up to Variety by saying, “I have dreams once in a while where he and I are acting at Second City.”

The Growing Belushi star added, “We were on stage together, and he was so funny that I cracked up, eating the scene in front of everybody. I got so mad at him, because that’s the worst thing you can do, is break character, right? But he was just so funny, and he goes, ‘Ah, come on, kid!’ He was sweet to me. So, I still get little visits.”

It is pertinent to mention that it is not the first time Jim talked about his brother, he has reflected on the bond he had with his brother many time before.
