Bill Murray Defends John Belushi After Bob Woodward’s “Completely Inaccurate” Biography

More than 40 years later, Bill Murray has a bone to pick with Bob Woodward over his literary treatment of friend and collaborator John Belushi.
Following Belushi’s death at age 33 in 1982, Murray called out Woodward’s 1984 biography Wired as “completely inaccurate”
“If he did this to Belushi, what he did to Nixon is probably soiled for me too. I can’t take it,” he said on The Joe Rogan Experience. “You could have two sources and everything like that, but the two sources that he had, if he had them for the Wired book, were so far outside the inner circle that it was criminal, cruel.”
Murray added, “Belushi made people’s careers possible. Mine would be one of them. There’s a lot of people that slept on John Belushi’s couch. There’s a lot of people that stayed for free at his house until they made it in New York.
