Shia LaBeouf is reportedly set to lose his left pinky, according to the not-always-accurate Star magazine.
Doctors have told Shia LaBeouf they may have to amputate one of his injured fingers, Star has learned exclusively.
The young star, now working on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is likely to lose the pinky on his left hand, a source on the movie set says.
“Shia called producers yesterday and told them,” the source on the set in Alamogordo, N.M. says. “It’s really thrown the movie into turmoil.”
Shia, 21, mangled his hand when his SUV rolled over twice in a July 27 accident in West Hollywood. He was cited for DUI although cops say they do not believe the accident was his fault.
I’m not sure what would happen if he lost a finger, in terms of film continuity. Would he wear prosthesis, or could the pinkie be edited in (or out) in post production? I’d like to see it left as it is, and then in dull parts of the film you could look for the missing digit.
Hopefully Shia will be okay, although I think he has bigger issues than a pinkie amputation at the moment. Unless he can prove that he wasn’t drunk driving his career could be going to the same place as his missing finger. His rep seems adamant that he was not drinking and driving, so hopefully this will turn out to be the case.
I went to school with a group of guys who, when meeting them ten years down the track, all had lost at least half a finger doing stupid things. With the exception of the one who was a butcher, who had the full set. They did prove to me that it doesn’t hold them back any, Shia can take heart in the fact that you don’t need a pinkie to lift a beer.
Note by Celebitchy: Shia’s rep has denied this report, telling X17 the story is “an absolute fabrication.”
I just saw a headline on my Comcast home page saying “no amputation” for him.
I believe him that he wasn’t drinking and driving. We have super-corrupt cops all over this state.
My grandma was missing half of one of her index fingers. She cut it off with a table saw while helping some friends work on their house. It was kinda wierd, but never a big deal.
I’m sure Shia will be fine
Elisha, have you been wrongly accused of an offense? You seem criticize the police frequenly.
His hand is bandaged but his pinky is sticking out of the wrapping…so, ya, it’s not even injured.
A friend of mine has fake legs and real feet.
Sorry, I stole that joke from Steven Wright. 😀
I hope Shia wont lose any digits.
daisy: No, my friend is a cop. Or an aspiring cop I should say. He was at orientation in Oakland (one of the more violent cities in the state where they actually NEED heavy police presense) and the police there warned about certain corrupt police departments, saying not to work for them. They even said the cities (typically more affluent areas where the cops have nothing to do, but there’s no shortage of them eager to work there because they get payed well without having to deal with the typical ugliness police in crime cities do). That’s what my comment was in reference to.
Also, I’m a tv reporter and my boss sorta feeds us this disdain for police as well. He tells us to try not to get soundbites from them and ALWAYS get the other side of the story.
In regards to Elisha’s assertion of the corruption of the police force: I must contend to her notions. Just last Saturday while driving home from a party, I found myself stuck at the longest red light in the town. I was really hoping to run it until a copper pulled up across the way. He looked me straight in the eyes, as if to say, “see you in hell, bitch”, and freaking ran the red light himself.
All things considered, Shia is clearly being victimized by an equally unscrupulous police force!
