The media has actually been following Jung’s movements for some time. When he was granted a temporary release from a Texas prison in 2012 to have a mole removed, the story was picked up by celebrity news outlet TMZ. Jung’s name often becomes a popular internet search topic whenever Blow is aired on television.
Being a celebrity would be nothing new to George Jung. During the peak of his cocaine trafficking operation, he enjoyed a lavish lifestyle that put even Hollywood stars to fame.
“I was a guy who had a lot of money and unlimited access to cocaine and even if I looked like Bela Lugosi I still had the most beautiful women on the planet because everybody at that time, especially women, were in love with cocaine and of course in love with the money — the access to the automobiles, the clothes, the dinners, the lifestyle,” Jung told Frontline in an interview. “Basically I was no different than a rock star or a movie star.
