JJ Abrams hasn't had the best week or two. During shooting for Star Wars Episode VII at Pinewood Studios this month, the director's leading man Harrison Ford had his leg crushed in a nasty on set accident. No wonder, Abrams needed a night off work on Sunday.
The director was spotted headed to celeb hotspot the Chiltern Firehouse last night to unwind after another long week of shooting. Dressed down in jeans and a blazer, JJ managed a small smile for the paps as he headed inside, on the same day Harrison was spotted leaving hospital in a wheelchair.
JJ wasn't alone for his night out as he was joined by childhood pal, actor Greg Grunberg.

Greg is best known for his role as Matt Parkman on the NBC series Heroes, while he also appeared in Lost and Alias, both series created and produced by Abrams.
While the two could have just been hanging out, Grunberg's presence in London could hint at another role for Grunberg in Abrams' latest project.
The casting rumours just keep on coming for Star Wars, with reports today suggesting Tom Cruise is in talks for a cameo.
