Jim Belushi didn't push his son toward acting, but offered support when needed like practicing for auditions, Belushi said. Jim Belushi describes his son as funny, talented and good-looking -- "the smartest Belushi you've got." Not a surprise for a father talking about his son. The pair owns a comedy club, The Comedy Bar, together in Chicago. "I've given him a lot of advice," Jim Belushi said in an interview. "My main advice to him is just do what's right in front of you. It's basically stay in the moment." Rob Belushi was a baby when his famous uncle, John, died of a drug overdose at age 33 in March 1982. "I've always felt like John was out there somewhere looking down on me and hopefully smiling or frowning but as every actor wants, paying attention in some way," Belushi said. "We have a lot in common in a lot of ways, some are good, some are bad. So I would say, as with my dad, I feel very honored to carry on the tradition that comes from Chicago."
