Jake Wood has been having nightmares ever since he watched \'The Conjuring\' with his daughter.
The \'EastEnders\' actor admitted that the supernatural horror film - which tells the story of a family who move into a haunted farmhouse - left him terrified and unable to sleep after he watched it with his daughter Amber, 15.
According to the Daily Star newspaper, he said: "That s**t me up that film. It\'s taken me a good couple of weeks to get over it. You won\'t sleep right for about three or four nights after that."
However, despite his fears, Jake is already making plans to watch the second movie in the franchise.
He said: "I\'m going to watch the second one too, I\'m building myself up to it."
Meanwhile, Jake - who has played Max Branning since 2006 - is now off work along with all of his co-stars and the crew due to production on the BBC One soap being shutdown because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Bosses have reduced the weekly transmission schedule to two pre-recorded episodes per week so the show can stay on air and Jake has been spending his time off work at home with his family, wife Alison and their two children Buster and Amber.
To keep busy he has continued to record his weekly boxing podcast \'Pound For Pound\' with his friend, retired boxer Spencer Oliver, and he has also been carrying out DIY jobs around his house.
Jake recently admitted he spent three days in a row cleaning his house with a pressure washer and he thinks he became obsessed with using his jet washer to distract himself from the seriousness of the coronavirus disease, which has killed over 4,000 people in the UK.
He said: "I\'ve been jet washing. I was doing it for three days man. I had my headphones on and I was banging out this crazy dance music. I couldn\'t hear anything, I just had this mental music in my head. I did that for three days, I think I was just freaking out I think it was just my way of coping."
