Shia LaBeouf Got In Another Drunken Fight – Video Of Him Getting Punched
October 18, 2011 by Hollywoodite
Shia LaBeouf has spent the better part of this year simultaneously drinking and growing out his hobo beard. And, being a multi-tasker, he also found the time to get into random alcohol-fueled screaming matches and fights. And this is another one of them.
Back in February this year, Page Six had an item about the actor getting into a bar fight at a Los Angeles bar/ pub he frequented with friends. It appeared LaBeouf was defending himself and wasn’t the drunken instigator. And it’s the same with this fight at Cinema Public House in Vancouver where he’s been shooting a movie. It would appear the he and another man were thrown out by security when the other man decided to attack LaBeouf out in the street. There’s video showing a shirtless random pounding on LaBeouf while he just deflects and protects himself. It doesn’t appear he fought back, on the advice of a friend. RadarOnline.com has more details on the fight.
The actor managed to get in not one, but three fights in the early hours of Friday morning as he partied solo on the Granville Steet nightclub strip. According to an eyewitness, Shia, who appeared visibly drunk, just didn’t know when to back down from the fight.
“He got into a confrontation with a couple of people,” the witness said. “He took a few punches to the face. He was obviously pretty intoxicated.”
According to the eyewitness Shia had to pulled away from a bar patron by security when the pair clashed inside the Cinema Public House just after 12:30 a.m. Shia and the much larger patron exchanged some heated words before security pulled them apart and sent them both packing. However, once outside, the patron — identified only as Mike — spotted Shia waiting for a taxi, ripped off his shirt and unleashed a one sided attack on the star.
Mike ran up to Shia hitting him to the ground with at least three punches to his head before bystanders came to his aid, the witness says. Then, according to the witness, when another bystander tried to calm down a fuming Shia, the actor once again exploded and had to be restrained.
“The guy had to tell him something like ‘calm down or I’ll have to lay you out’. Then Shia just put his hands up and gave up,” the witness said.
Photos taken over the weekend of Shia on his usual morning coffee run, show a sore and sorry Shia sporting grazes and swelling to his left side of his face.
The 25-year-old actor is currently in Canada to film a political thriller called The Company You Keep.
This is not the first time Shia has found himself in a bar fight. Earlier this year, Shia was handcuffed but later released, after getting into a fight at a bar in Sherman Oaks, CA when a fan took exception to the Transformers star refusing to pose for a photo.
LeBeouf has a history of drunken adventures. He had a DUI arrest in 2007. A year later, he was busted for being openly intoxicated in a Walgreen’s drug store in Chicago, and ended up being charged with misdemeanor criminal trespassing. – via RadarOnline.
