Word of Warning: Don’t Fall Asleep Around Quentin Tarantino

If you're working with Quentin Tarantino fall asleep at your own peril.

Quentin Tarantino is many things; critically acclaimed director, writer, antagoniser, proud foot fetish enthusiast (for real look that one up) and – as we found out today – a prankster on the film set.

Speaking last night on Conan, The Hateful Eight director revealed how he turned one of his pet peeves, which was catching his cast and crew sleeping on set, into something devilishly enjoyable – well for him and those who aren't asleep that is. He described that the punishment for anyone caught sleeping during work hours would be an introduction to ‘Big Jerry’.

No, Big Jerry is not a huge muscular friend from his childhood days (nor is it the writer of this article, he’s only 5’8 and weighs 80kg), it’s – as described by the man himself, “a big purple dildo”. Listen as recounts to Conan O'Brien and Andy Richter how they set 'Big Jerry' on poor Daryl Hannah.

Honestly Quentin Tarantino sounds like the type of guy who you don’t want to invite for a sleepover. This guy will probably put your hand in warm bowl of water and set his camera to record.
