When it comes to iconic duos in movie history, the Blues Brothers are right up there at the top of the list. But do you know the Christian names of these legendary characters?

The Blues Brothers were played by John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, two comedic geniuses who brought these characters to life in the 1980 cult classic film "The Blues Brothers." Jake Blues, played by John Belushi, and Elwood Blues, played by Dan Aykroyd, were the Christian names of the Blues Brothers.

John Belushi, who tragically passed away in 1982, was a beloved actor and comedian known for his work on Saturday Night Live and in films like Animal House. Dan Aykroyd, on the other hand, is still active in the entertainment industry and has had a successful career as both an actor and a writer.

The Blues Brothers characters were originally created by Belushi and Aykroyd for a musical sketch on Saturday Night Live, which eventually led to the creation of the hit movie. The film follows Jake and Elwood as they reunite their band to raise money to save the Catholic orphanage where they were raised.
