Although Belushi was known for his love for getting messed up throughout the majority of his career, while filming The Blues Brothers, things got particularly out of hand. Most of the cast was partaking in drug use (having a separate budget for cocaine), but Belushi took it to a whole new level. He was constantly caught doing cocaine in the middle of the day and got so drunk one day that he was discovered in a stranger’s house demanding a sandwich before he took a nap on their couch. One day, director John Landis found him in his trailer behind a small mountain of cocaine and everyone knew it had to stop. Belushi then hired a bodyguard to prevent him from getting high for the rest of filming.
