Shia LaBeouf’s passenger Isabel Lucas won’t answer crash questions

Isabel Lucas, the girl by Shia LaBeouf’s side during his car crash at 3 a.m. on Sunday morning, seems to have nothing to say to the press. At least according to her boyfriend, Entourage’s Adrian Grenier. Lucas has done her best to stay out of the spotlight the last few days. She escaped with some head injuries, while LaBeouf had extensive hand surgery. When the press finally caught up with her today, Grenier did all the talking for her.

Transformers star Isabel Lucas stayed mum when asked by photographers Tuesday about being a passenger in Shia LaBeouf’s truck when they crashed early Sunday morning, leading to his DUI arrest.

“She’s okay, we’re good,” boyfriend Adrian Grenier said as he and the actress walked together in L.A.

“This is not the time for an interview,” he added.

Lucas, 23, told the photog: “Thanks for supporting us.”

When asked how LaBeouf, 22, is doing following surgery on his hand Sunday, she nodded.

TMZ has the video of the encounter, in which one of the people asking questions tells Grenier to let Lucas speak for herself. To his credit, he doesn’t respond or react to the guy, even though it would probably piss off a lot of people. Though Lucas isn’t talking to the press, her mother is, and she’s defending her daughter and Shia (by extension). LaBeouf was given a DUI citation (although he did not cause the crash).

Shia LaBeouf’s co-star Isabel Lucas — who was riding in his truck when it flipped over the weekend — doesn’t think the “Transformers” star was drunk when they crashed.

So says her mother, who tells the Cairns Post in Oz that her daughter “would not get into the car with someone she thought was drink-driving,” said Beatrice Lucas, using the Britism for DUI. Meanwhile, the mom says Isabel is doing well and is “back at work,” unlike Shia, who could be on the bench for as much as a month because of his busted hand.

That’s a nice and supportive thing to say about your daughter, and I’m guessing it’s true that most sober people wouldn’t get into a car with someone who was obviously intoxicated. But there’s certainly a chance that if LaBeouf was drinking, Lucas might have been as well. Who knows, it’s mere speculation. It certainly is a logical thing for a parent to say that their child wouldn’t knowingly put themselves in danger, or let someone endanger others.

I do find the whole hanging out with a hot guy who’s not your boyfriend at three in the morning to be a little suspicious. And can’t help but wonder what Adrian Grenier thinks about it.

    Meh – Shia isn’t that hot.

    It could be true that there was something going on – but it’s more than likely that perhaps they were clubbing with a group of people and it was more practical for Shia to give her a lift home than anyone else?

    Contrary to what the tabloids would have you believe it IS possible for two young, unreleated members of the opposite gender to be in the same space without tearing each others’ clothes off. 🙄

    I don’t find it suspicious at all…aren’t they co-stars in a movie? Not to mention, I’ve hung out with male friends well past 3 a.m. and nothing happened, because we were FRIENDS. Some people can be friends with the opposite sex without the sex, unlike Harry and Sally.

    She is a beautiful young woman, but she needs a stylist and fast.

  4. lulu says:

    i would take shia over that hairy beast adrian any day!

  5. Bob says:

    Shia was just babysitting Lucas while Grenier was off shagging some other girl.

  6. Roma says:

    I’ve heard rumours about supposed “eye witnesses” who say Shia wasn’t drunk, but messed up from hitting his head. And although I’ve watched my bf appear drunk from a concussion, I’m guessing it is pure wishful thinking in this case. Has anyone heard anything about blood alcohol testing having been done at the hospital?

    Booty call?

  8. bros says:

    I hear yah lulu, shia is a step above that ch-ch-ch-chia pet grenier but shia doesnt do it for me either. he seems adolescent-like which isnt a turn on, esp. because russel crowe (who he looks exactly the same as) is a much better specimen.

  9. Bodhi says:

    I think Shia’s hot as hell! My fiance would be super pissed if I were truck with Shia at 3am. But since thats not likely to happen…

    Roma~ Thats an intersting point. I hadn’t thought of that

  10. kate says:

    don’t know who she is but she’s gorgeous.

  11. elisha says:

    This girl and Christina Ricci should have a forhead off. 3,2,1… go!

  12. I choose me says:

    @elisha. Can’t have a forehead off without Rihanna. 😈

  13. Nan says:

    She’s all kinds of wrong yet pulls it off. She’s so attractive in a strange way.

  14. Shannon says:

    Shia’s not a good guy. He’s let Hollywood get the best of him and turned from a sweet and funny kid to an obnoxious entitled brat. I’ve seen him behind the scenes and he acts completely put out while he’s being paid thousands to be at a small event. He’s not at all attractive in real life either. Moving on…

  15. Codzilla says:

    Wow, that outfit sucks. I agree that she’s pretty, though. Not caked in makeup, which is a nice change.
