Anyone know the story why Belushi and Hughes didn't get along?
Just curious if anyone knows the back story.

Kelly Lynch:
"I worked with Jim Belushi, and Jim kind of had his armor up and was protecting himself. So during Jim’s really poignant monologue, John started playing a CD of embarrassing sound effects: toilets flushing, a horn honking, people farting. John wanted Jim to feel a little more angry and vulnerable in the scene, so he was totally f—ing with him to get him more raw and more open as an actor. Jimmy was so angry. Later in the day, Jimmy stopped production because he wanted more masculine hand towels and softer toilet paper in his dressing room. It was like being at camp."share

I’ll never understand why actors behave this way. To jeopardize their employability is bad enough, but to show to such utter disregard for their fellow cast and crew members—it’s childish, thoughtless, and downright cruel. share
