Dan Aykroyd (born 1 July 1952) is a Canadian-American actor, comedian, writer, and entrepreneur best known as one of the original cast members of Saturday Night Live and for co-creating and starring in iconic films like The Blues Brothersand Ghostbusters. Renowned for his cerebral humour, improvisational brilliance, and deep affection for the paranormal and blues music, Aykroyd has left an indelible mark on comedy and pop culture over the past five decades. Beyond entertainment, he’s also a successful spirits entrepreneur with his Crystal Head Vodka brand.

His style blends old-school cool with a touch of eccentricity—often grounded in sharp suits, fedoras, and of course, his signature sunglasses. Aykroyd is rarely seen without classic black Wayfarers, a look immortalised by The Blues Brothers and echoed throughout his public appearances. The Ray-Ban Wayfarer, in particular, has become synonymous with his on- and off-screen persona: bold, timeless, and just a little mysterious. Whether performing with a blues band or stepping onto a red carpet, Dan Aykroyd’s eyewear remains iconic—retro, rebellious, and effortlessly legendary.
