Jim Belushi gave Steven Spielberg sleepless nights

Steven Spielberg has revealed that when he was shooting for the comedy 1941, funnyman Jim Belushi often woke him up in the middle of the night to ask if he could crash in his bedroom.

Spielberg admits he took on the role of the tragic manic star’s keeper from his Blues Brothers co-star Dan Aykroyd and that meant a few rude awakenings in the middle of the night.

“There would be days when at two o’clock in the morning, John would let himself into my house and he’d just sort of gently shake me awake. I’d look up, and there’s John... He says, ‘I’m gonna crash here, OK,” the Daily Express quoted Spielberg as telling Entertainment Weekly magazine.

“I remember the next morning I’d wake up and John was on the floor under the TV set of my bedroom. Fully clothed and sound asleep. John crashed at the house several times,” he said.
