John Belushi Stayed In a House in the Suburbs While Filming
… Why? To keep his sobriety intact.
John Belushi (Bluto) is known for the problems he had in his day with drugs (to say the least), and people might assume that he fit right in with the hard-partying cast. But, during the filming, Belushi was actually one of the best behaved of all the crew. Surprising, huh? To avoid temptation, Belushi and his wife Judy stayed in a suburban home far away from the motel.

He managed to stay clean throughout the shooting, despite all the flying back to New York for a few days every week to film ‘Saturday Night Live.’ John Landis said Belushi’s ability to stay sober was from his desire to succeed in his first movie role.
