Shia LaBeouf Gets Punched In Vancouver Street Brawl

video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player

Bad boy actor Shia LaBeouf is going to give the make-up artists on his movie set a lot to deal with after getting in a brawl on the streets of Vancouver last night.

TMZ reports that LaBeouf, 25, is in the Canadian city filming Robert Redford‘s latest flick The Company You Keep and has been a regular at Cinema Public House, according to the proprietors.

Last night the actor and another unidentified man got into an argument inside the bar and both were kicked out. After being thrown out, the man, who is shirtless in the video, gets a hold of Shia and delivers a few punches to the actor, including at least one directly to his head.

LaBeouf is balled up on the ground as another man pulls off the shirtless dude. LaBeouf is taken away by a friend who grabs him and another guy who calmly tells him to “lay low.”

Alcohol-fueled arguments were quite the problem for the Transformers actor as RadarOnline reports LaBeouf found himself in confrontations with no less than three different people inside the Cinema Public House that evening.

LaBeouf continues to find himself in one fight or another after indulging in alcohol. He was escorted out of a party in August for getting into a beef with a friend of Marilyn Manson‘s.

Is Shia LaBeouf’s Drinking Out Of Control Again?

Just when you think Shia LaBeouf may have finally calmed down….

The  25 year old actor has admitted that drinking makes him aggressive (it also makes him stupid), and this little tidbit makes you wonder if he’s back on the sauce.

Our boy Shia was at The Box pop-up party in Los Angeles on Friday night, and got in a little tiff with a friend of Marilyn Manson.  A source described the scene, saying Shia

“exchanged terse words with a friend of Manson’s, who lunged over the table at Shia, and Shia lunged back. Security stepped in quickly and broke it up before any punches were thrown.  Two security guards led Shia out holding his hands behind his head…Outside, he fell onto a barricade. Swearing, he picked himself up and ran off.”

Ladies and gentlemen, Shia LaBeouf circa 2007-2008!

Page Six says tons of people saw this happen, but Shia’s rep says none of it’s true.

“[He] actually left the club early as planned … he went to see one of the bands performing in the showcase and left after they finished … exiting through a crowded room was apparently misinterpreted. No altercation occurred.”

You know how it is.  It’s so easy to confuse the normal movement of a person leaving a club with being escorted out by security guards.  Seems our boy still has some growing up to do.

Selena Gomez Gets A Hug From Her Celeb Crush Shia LaBeouf

Everybody has a celebrity crush and Selena Gomez goes a little fan girl nervous when she meets hers – Shia LaBeouf.

Gomez, 18, is tricked into meeting him by her publicist and friends who know how bad she’s crushin’ on the Transformers star. When Selena walks into the room LaBeouf is in, she immediately turns around and says “Oh my gosh!”

Shia is adorable and follows her out and thanking her for being so “sweet” to him.

Selena and Shia pose for a few photos and he gives her a quick hug. The teen is so polite she apologizes to him saying “she’s sorry she bothered him.”

In the end Gomez says “I’m so embarrassed. Now he thinks I’m crazy.”

The two share a Disney past: Shia got his start on the mouse network’s Even Stevens and Selena stars on Wizards of Waverly Place. LaBeouf has moved on to movies and has made a successful transition from child actor to adult roles and Selena is starting her transition with this weekend’s movie Monte Carlo.

Shia LaBeouf Admits To Fling With Megan Fox

Transformers star Shia LaBeouf prides himself on his honesty and has some revealing things to say to Details magazine.

Namely that he and his costar of the first two flicks, Megan Fox, did have a fling, a thing, a costar romance. The honesty part takes a back seat when he’s asked if Fox was with her boyfriend, now husband, Brian Austin Green.

“Look, you’re on the set for six months, with someone who’s rooting to be attracted to you, and you’re rooting to be attracted to them,” he explains. “I never understood the separation of work and life in that situation. But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can see the chemistry onscreen.”

When [Details writer Adam Gell] inquire about Fox’s status at the time with her longtime boyfriend, Brian Austin Green, LaBeouf replies, “I don’t know, man. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. . . .”—repeating the phrase exactly 12 times with various intonations, as if trying to get it just right. Finally, he says, “It was what it was.”

Did he truly not know or was it willful ignorance? Hey – I’m not judging, I’m just curious.

Regardless of Fox’s relationship status at the time of their hook-up, the 25 year-old moved on to another costar. Wall Street 2 actress Carey Mulligan is someone LaBeouf clearly still cares about and with whom he’s still friends.

“I still love her. I think she’s a f–king awesome person and an incredible actress. We’re still pals. I wouldn’t take any of it back, and I don’t think she would either. It just ran its course.”

LaBeouf’s honesty may get him in trouble but his candor is refreshing in an era of carefully manicured celebrities.

Shia LaBeouf Talks Steven Spielberg & Why He Wants To Indie Films

Shia LaBeouf lands the biggest movie franchises with director Steven Spielberg championing his burgeoning career. But is the actor content to stay on this path? It doesn’t sound like it.

Speaking about being hand-picked by Spielberg for both the Transformers movies and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, he says he both loves it and he is uncomfortable with the possibility of stagnating.

“That’s a gift and a curse,” LaBeouf told the LA Times. “Steven introduced me to the world in a way. The man has been incredible to me. But the work that I’ve done with him, the character variation is not heavy. It’s sort of all in the same vein. … I’ve gotta anchor these movies that are in these outrageous worlds, and I have to be as tangible as possible. … I have no problem with that, but I don’t want to be there forever.”

The 24 year-old actor says that he finds himself at a point where he wants to make the decisions of which movies to take, not have a team of people to chose for him. LaBeouf says he’s ready to do more exploring in the character-driven roles of indie films.

“When you’re a racehorse and you’ve got 20 trainers, all the trainers want the racehorse to run a certain way,” LaBeouf says. “What does the racehorse want to do? ‘Wettest’ [The Wettest County in the World, his indie film due later this year] is the first time they’ve ever asked the racehorse. I’ve been running for a team of people for a long time and I don’t take any of it back. … I’ve learned a great deal about a certain type of filmmaking. But I have ambitions toward another type of filmmaking that I haven’t been allowed to engage in yet.”

For now, the actor says he’s just working on patience.

“There’s this coming-of-age thing that’s happening within me. I’ve come from family-fare, pop-culture, Steven Spielberg-safe, made-for-a-generalized-populace [projects], and I have these yearnings to do different things. Which way is this boy gonna go? I have no idea. … I’m just reading and being patient now for the first time.”

Shia LaBeouf Talks About Why Megan Fox Left ‘Transformers’

Shia LaBeouf is coming clean with his take on why Megan Fox is no longer part of the Transformers films.

Fox, who left/was fired/quit/whatever, made no secret she was unhappy on the set and did not appreciate director Michael Bay‘s approach (and crew members called out her behavior while defending him.) Whatever went down between the two, they eventually parted ways professionally and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was brought in as the new love interest for the upcoming third film.

One person who stayed silent through the whole thing was LaBeouf. Until now, the 24 year-old actor has kept his opinion to himself about why the super sultry Fox took flight from the flick.

“Megan developed this Spice Girl strength, this woman-empowerment [stuff] that made her feel awkward about her involvement with Michael, who some people think is a very lascivious filmmaker, the way he films women,” the Los Angeles Times quoted LaBeouf as saying.

“Mike films women in a way that appeals to a 16-year-old sexuality. It’s summer. It’s Michael’s style. And I think [Fox] never got comfortable with it. This is a girl who was taken from complete obscurity and placed in a sex-driven role in front of the whole world and told she was the sexiest woman in America. And she had a hard time accepting it.”

He continued “When Mike would ask her to do specific things, there was no time for fluffy talk. We’re on the run. And the one thing Mike lacks is tact. There’s no time for [LaBeouf assumes a gentle voice] ‘I would like you to just arch your back 70 degrees.’”

Shia says Megan’s replacement is much more on board for the Bay experience.

“Rosie comes with this Victoria’s Secret background, and she’s comfortable with it, so she can get down with Mike’s way of working and it makes the whole set vibe very different,” he said.

Shia LaBeouf Goes Wall Street For GQ

Shia LaBeouf On The Cover Of GQ April 2010

Shia LaBeouf channels his Wall Street:  Money Never Sleeps character Jacob Moore for GQ‘s April 2010 cover.  I love this photoshoot.  He looks like the Shia I first saw in Holes, rather than the Shia who gets arrested for being too drunk in Walgreen’s.   Check out these excerpts from his interview.

On working with bankers to prepare for the movie:

“It’s easy to villainize these guys with the big paychecks…But they’re not all bad. I’m a pretty left-wing character, and I come from whatever collar is lower than blue. But meeting these guys really opened my mind a lot. I’ve never seen people with more drive and determination in my life.”

However:

“It’s the most sex-drugs-and-rock-’n'-roll atmosphere that exists on the planet. I was hanging out with some wild human beings.”

On his infamous car crash:

“I’d be watching the news, and they’d play my car crash, and every once in a while Kim Kardashian’s sister would jump on TV and preach to me from the red carpet about how to live my f—ing life. And I’m so upset, man. I’m so angry. Because this accident was not caused by me. I got hit. I had a green. This f—er ran a red light. And he flipped my truck, and he shoveled it on my hand. And my fingers are in the street… they’re off, they’re under the truck door, man. This [his reconstructed hand] is fake, dude…This is hip bone and the skin that was left over…”

On working with director Oliver Stone:

“He is a doctor of human manipulation…One of the first things you do with Oliver is you start talking about your personal life. You give it all to him at the beginning, and then he has these strings with which he can f— with you. He regurgitates this stuff at inopportune moments. He will just come up and whisper a phrase in your ear, sing a song, mention something about your dad, and—pow!—it puts you in a different world.”

On Stone’s unconventional methods:

“We’d be on the street, and Oliver would just say, ‘Go to that bar, get f—ed-up, and come back.’ I’d walk over, get smashed, and go back to work. He would really f— with me when I was smashed. I get aggressive when I’m smashed, and he’d film that. He would just open you up completely, make you f—ing naked-and then call, ‘Action.’”

Harrison Ford Says ‘Indiana Jones 5′ is Taking Form

indy51-290x300

Harrison Ford is all about taking on the next Indiana Jones film as he told People Magazine:

Harrison Ford told France’s Le Figaro (via People) that “the story for the new Indiana Jones is in the process of taking form. Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and myself are agreed on what the fifth adventure will concern, and George is actively at work. If the script is good, I’ll be very happy to put the costume on again.”

I really hope the next one doesn’t have any aliens, and maybe they can tone down the cheesy factor.

franklangellawallstreet

Academy Award nominated actor Frank Langella has joined the cast of Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps.

Frank Langella will join the cast of “Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps,” the Oliver Stone-directed sequel for 20th Century Fox.

Shia LaBeouf stars with Michael Douglas, who’ll reprise his Gordon Gekko role. Josh Brolin is reportedly circling a part in the Allan Loeb-scripted drama as well.

Langella is in talks to play Lewis Zabel, an old-time broker who mentors LaBeouf’s character, a young Wall Street broker. The mentor’s fate plays a major part in the film’s plot.

Langella is a great actor and will bring a solid performance to this film, guaranteed. It’s going to be interesting to see how this film gets marketed as it nears release.
