[@malcolmnicoll1165]

I recall when Chevy broke down in tears LIVE on National TV. He loved John immensely.

[@ricktheexplorer]

So did Bill. Bill Murray was filmed at the grave site, balling crying. Very jarring to think the impact this death had on them.

[@LunaShimmyDiva]

Pic of Dan Aykroyd from funeral was equally poignant!

[@DKM.23]

Why is everyone chatting shit about chase looking old he’s fucking 79 give him a break

[@Stumme-40203]

Because he aged really fast. 2 years ago he still looked like Chevy Chase. I didn’t even recognize him here.

[@Ashbash-kf5xd]

That man,….. is a complete asshole. He’s just reaping now.

[@thegadflygang5381]

It's just rough b/c Chevy was such a handsome & vibrant personality. A physical comedian without par so I think for those of us that love his work, it just hits hard Nobody did it like Chevy, just the funniest ability to use his body and face for hysterics

[@thegadflygang5381]

​@Stumme-40203 yeah, he looked old but he was still pure Chevy Who knows this is a personal sad interview maybe he still has it

That's why I could never be a celebrity, a dozen strangers knocking on my door and asking me about the death of my friend. I love being a "regular" person. I can go to walmart, the mall, anywhere....and not have to worry about fans and the media swarming me.. R.I.P. to John Belusi though🙏🏿

[@SoonGone]

Fletch: “I’m gonna need some pliers and a set of 30-weight ball bearings… Confused airplane mechanic: “What the hell do you need ball bearings for?” Fletch: “Awww, c’mon guys - It’s so simple! Maybe you need a refresher course. (as he recoils in agony after getting burned on a hot engine part…) Hey, it’s ALL ball bearings nowadays! Now you go prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. And I’m gonna need about 10 quarts of anti-freeze…preferably Prestone. No…make that Quaker State!”

[@KamillGran-ch5sb]

Aging is hard, but seems to me like Chevy is dealing with it just fine. He really doesn’t give two 💩about being a star. I say, good for him.

[@darianromero3532]

Really? That's your take? He's a washed-up star who treated everyone like garbage, and when it finally caught up to him, he tried to play the victim. He's clearly not handling his status well at all. Even in community, he was a has been, and I'm almost 100% positive, that's why he made the set miserable for everyone around him. He was mad that audiences cared more about Abed and Troy rather than the guy who's most notable work is NATIONAL LAMPOON. He's a clown, always had been and always will be.

[@KamillGran-ch5sb]

@@darianromero3532 who gives two 💩💩about all this gossip except for the nonbinary types. U know what I mean? I bet u do!

[@geeebuttersnap2433]

@@darianromero3532you seem awfully but hurt about Chevy Chases status. He was the funniest guy on the show, and his comic legend overshadowed everyone on the series. He was funnier on his worst day then the rest of them were on their best. The only other person who was even in a funny movie or show that wasn’t community was Shirley, and it was a non speaking cameo in tropic thunder. Just saying, the national lampoons movies were not the only thing he was known for. There was caddy shack, there was spy’s like us, there was the fletcher movies, there was the three amigos, there was dirty work. And not to mention his time on SNL, which launched his career, he was a member of the original cast, the golden age of Saturday night live. Belushi, Akroyd, chase, Murray, they were all comedy legends.

[@benicio1967]

Chevy has endured so many injuries over the years. I wish him well and certainly wish him good health.

[@DW-nb2zc]

Never heard this Jesus that is really horrible Don't know how close Chevy and John were but finding out like that is f'd up

[@brunohale]

Does it semi-bother anyone else who was born in the 80's, that the most beloved actors/comics of our childhood are into their 70's and 80's now? Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sly Stallone, Harrison Ford, Jack Nicholson, Dan Akroyd, Kurt Russel? Chevy Chase is 80! Clint "Freaking" Eastwood nearly mid-90's! (Sigh) Time goes by too damn fast boys! That's life...but it's a drag sometimes!

[@gertagi110]

Nope. Its called Life. Aging is Natural. Whats unnatural is denial thru plastic surgery...constantly celebrating youth instead of elders- etc

[@some_guy2773]

Oh wow crazy to see him at 79 now! I haven't seen any interviews in a long time.

[@FactsRFearless]

They should bring Chevy back on SNL to play Joe Biden.

[@Primus-ue4th]

‘Play Joe Biden’?

[@FactsRFearless]

@@Primus-ue4th Chevy used to do an imitation of President Gerald Ford and it was pretty funny. You'd think with Biden being a nonstop gaff machine that a smart comedian might tap into that little gold mine of material.

The older you get the quicker you age. In other words. ..from 30 to 40...yeah most people look pretty much the same. Maybe you have to watch what you eat. Some gray hair but essentially you still look the same and act the same. You hit your 60's and 70's that is no longer the case. Chevy looked pretty good 5 years ago. A few years later he looks much older and sadly his heart issue has sped things up even more.

[@timothythomas8082]

I'm posting this on Dday, December 7th, 2023. Chevy turned 80 two months ago. Though his physical condition has deteriorated, his mind is still sharp. Can't say that that about Joe Biden's mental state. Biden turned 81 two weeks ago. Now, Mick Jagger, on the other hand, turned 80 this past July, and can still do what he's always done. Dance from side to side of the stage and still remember the lyrics. It definitely helps to have the same occupation for 75% of your life, or 60 years to be able to remember all those songs.
