Transitioning successfully from a Disney actor for kids to a full-blown actor, and filmmaker, Shia LaBeouf has come a long way. The actor had a successful career, working in films such as Disturbia, Holes, Transformers (the first three movies), Pieces of a Woman, and many more. Despite being a part of several critically and commercially successful films, he decided to throw it all away because of his alcohol addiction and bad temperament on the set.
Shia LaBeouf has often sparked controversy and criticized for his actions, his co-stars have often complained how working with the actor was a nightmare for them. Numerous people have complained about his actions and this time his bizarre antics had annoyed Brad Pitt and David Ayer because he wanted to prove he is the most dedicated actor in Fury.
Shia LaBeouf Refused To Take A Shower To Prove His Dedication
Fury is one of the most underrated films of 2010, the film by David Ayer featured a star-studded cast which includes names like Brad Pitt, John Bernthal, Michael Peña, and Shia LaBeouf. The Second World War drama showcased the harsh reality of WWII combat, gripping drama and tension keeping the viewers at the edge of their seats.
While the film was outstanding, cast members were furious with the actor because he refused to take a shower on the set of Fury so that he could get into the character. A reliable source told The Daily Mail, how David Ayer and Brad Pitt were tired of the Honey Boy actor and his behavior was annoying several members on the set.
“Shia was warned about his behaviour by several people on set, including Brad Pitt and director David Ayer. He didn’t heed any of their warnings and found himself staying in a small bed-and-breakfast hotel away from the rest of the cast.”
The source further added that the 37-year-old actor drove everyone nuts on the set of Fury “to prove that he was the most dedicated star.” He talked about his actions on the set to prove his unparalleled dedication.
“Shia drove everyone mad on set trying to prove that he was the most dedicated star. He pulled out his own tooth during the first few weeks of filming and then refused to shower for weeks on end so he could better understand how his character would have felt living in the trenches.”
Safe to say his annoying behavior on the set of Fury was worth it because the 2014 film was a massive hit around the world, earning $210.3 million at the worldwide box office. The drama film was also nominated for several categories, including Critics’ Choice Award for Best Action Movie.
Shia LaBeouf Did Not Enjoy Working in The Transformers Films
The Holes actor has been vocal about almost everything, and he did not hold back from criticizing his idol, Steven Spielberg. He stated that out of all the films that he did with the renowned filmmaker, he enjoyed only the first Transformers film.
“I don’t like the movies that I made with Spielberg. The only movie that I liked that we made together was ‘Transformers’ one.”
The comments from the actor were surprising because the two had worked on numerous projects before which included Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. However, working with his idol did not turn out to be as enjoyable as he thought.
Fury can be streamed on DIRECTV.
