While in rehab, Mulaney received a call from Michaels and they talked on the phone for an hour. "He goes, 'I knew John Belushi for seven years. I've been talking about him for 48 years, because that's the shrapnel that happens when someone goes down like that,'" Mulaney said.. He died from an injection of a combination of cocaine and heroin, following a days-long drug binge on March 5, 1982.
Mulaney continued, "And goes, 'You know, John didn't want to die. You know, he didn't plan to. Just because it's a story, just because it's sort of set in stone like history, people don't want to die from this.'"actor checked into rehab in December 2020 to get a handle on his substance abuse and addiction, which he had been dealing with for decades.
"He didn't argue or anything, he just went, 'John. We both know how this movie ends.' And that was it," Mulaney said. "I just kind of nodded and went back to my room and stayed."
