Dan Aykroyd 'still misses John Belushi'

Dan Aykroyd has admitted that he still misses his late Saturday Night Live castmate John Belushi.

Speaking to The AP, the actor revealed that he and Belushi's brother Jim opened a series of House Of Blues concert venues as a tribute to the Blues Brothers star.

"I miss him every day, and I miss him every time I walk into these magnificent House of Blues that we built," he said.

The star added: "Blues palaces, I mean, God, he would have just loved that."

Aykroyd also remarked that he's grown wary in recent years of undertaking a busy acting schedule.

He explained: "I will walk out the door for the paycheck I deserve and working with the superstars. Otherwise, I won't work as an actor… I'm sorry. I don't have to, and why shouldn't I get what is commensurate with what my market will bear today?

"It's not the salary I used to get, and I don't care if I play a supporting part. Fine. I'm reasonable… But I'm not going to work for nothing, and I'm not going to work for people who are unknown. I can't do it."
