Scott Eastwood has a bone to pick with Shia LaBeouf.
During an appearance on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast, the actor, 40, opened up about a “tense” on-set moment during the filming of the 2014 film, “Fury,” in which he nearly got into a physical altercation with the former Disney star.
“There was sort of an incident that happened,” Eastwood, 40, said. “I’ve talked about it. Brad Pitt sort of broke up a little, a tense moment.”
Eastwood explained that LaBeouf — who played tank gunner Boyd “Bible” Swan in the World War ll movie — was a “very method” actor, who pulled out his tooth and cut himself at one point.
“And I remember thinking, ‘OK, this guy’s crazy. I’m just going to keep clear from this guy.’ I don’t play this game. You go and do that, but there’s plenty of ways to do a performance in a movie and be professional also, right?”
Eastwood claimed that LaBeouf wasn’t impressed with his decision of “spitting tobacco on the tank,” an action that was written in the script.
“And then finally, I just said, ‘Enough’s enough.’ I said, ‘Hey, f— you.’ I said, ‘Stop pulling your s—.’ I said, ‘I’m going to whoop your a–,’” he continued. “And then, you know, he got … And then everyone broke it up.”
This isn’t the first time Eastwood has called out a Hollywood actor.
During a recent appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, Eastwood recalled working with an unnamed celebrity who abruptly walked away from a film after production was already underway, leaving the cast and crew left scrambling.
“Without saying any names … people get too famous for too long. They think the world owes them something,” Eastwood said.

“They decided after we’d already spent a bunch of money that they just didn’t want to work with this other person and didn’t want to do the job,” Eastwood claimed. “I was like, ‘You need to pay that money back to the person who invested in you.’ And they said, ‘I’m not going to do that.'”

Instead, Eastwood claimed the actor simply left the project — despite it being centered on “their story.”
“It’s black and white. Do the right thing. Don’t be a piece of s—. You can’t do that,” Eastwood said, calling the situation “shocking” and “unbelievable.”
The son of Oscar-winning filmmaker Clint Eastwood said the incident left him reflecting on a bigger issue looming within Hollywood.
“I’ve seen some behavior in this business that is shocking,” Eastwood said. “That would not go in other industries, but for some reason because we idolize [actors]…”
Despite the negative experience, Eastwood said he still very much enjoys what he does.
“I love telling stories,” he said.
