TMZ posted footage of actor Shia LaBeouf getting knocked to the ground by some hairy, shirtless dude outside of a bar in Vancouver. Although, truthfully, most of the video is of LaBeouf getting talked down by his bros before he decides to engage in any more fisticuffs.
Shia’s looks pretty drunk in the video. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen someone who has had a few too many try to clumsily extract themselves from the grasp of a friend who is trying to keep them from getting their head caved in. If that’s the case, it makes it a little difficult to cheer for the comeuppance I feel he’s due for. Make it a fair fight, at least.
That said, the wave of schadenfreude that took over Twitter when the news broke pretty much reflects what I believe is the general consensus – “People don’t like Shia LaBeouf.”
This coupled with the news that LaBeouf won’t be back for the next two Transformers sequels they’re filming back-to-back (Jason Statham is rumored to be the replacement), it’s been a pretty interesting week in Shia-related news.
Could you POSSIBLY get a more un-Shia actor than Jason Stratham? Also, it’ll be nice to see a director with an actual vision outside of “big splode now plzkthx”. I look forward to seeing what Spielberg can do with the franchise. Hopefully, less shaky-cam.
Jason Statham could probably fight Megatron to a standstill.
Without dirtying his suit or breaking a sweat. And if his suit DOES get dirtied, he’ll have a prestine one in the back of his car that he’ll change into while doing battle and delivering a baby at the same time.
Chuck Norris much?
Well, it *was* about time for his annual drunken beatdown anyway.
Suddenly its the best day ever…
