Shia LaBeouf gets punched in the face in a drunken street fight, doesn’t retaliate

65906pcn_lebouf05

Shia LaBeouf is no stranger to liquor-soaked, debauched nights. He’s also no stranger to getting his ass kicked. Back in February, Shia got into a bar fight at his local LA pub, where sources said that he and his friends are douchey regulars. To be fair to Shia, most said that he didn’t pick the fight, that he was only reacting to some dude with a chip on his shoulder. Shia later tried to explain what happened (here and here) and said that at the end of the day, only his sexy mom’s opinion matters to him. Well, I wonder what his sexy mom has to say about this? Shia got into another bar fight, this time in Vancouver.

TMZ got video of the incident, which… seems very weird. Apparently, Shia was “punched in the head” repeatedly by a shirtless dude. Sources say that security had kicked both of them out of a bar called the Cinema Public House. Shia has been a regular there while filming The Company You Keep. Here’s the strange video:

Radar has more details about what went down:

The notoriously hot tempered Shia LaBeouf is back to his bad boy ways after getting into a massive bar fight on the streets of Vancouver, Canada, over the weekend, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned. 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.

Of that misadventure, he told David Letterman he was “pretty messed up on the special magic sauce.”

I don’t know what’s going on with him. I used to like the kid and cut him some breaks, but I think he has issues with alcohol, and I think he gets hyper and aggressive when he drinks. Maybe he’s not the one instigating these fights, but it doesn’t seem like he’s the one backing down and being an adult, either. Plus, he just needs to stop hanging out in bars all the time. Drink at home for a few months, if you really need to drink. Throw a little private party in your hotel room. Don’t mix with the bar dudes who want to tell people, “I punched Shia LaBeouf in the face!”

    Ever since his dumbass comment about Spice Girl Feminism, he became a real douche to me.

    Glad he makes it so easy for me to laugh at him.

  2. i.want.shoes says:

    With that nasty beard, I’d punch him in the face too.

  3. normades says:

    He did Carey a favor when he dumped her.

    Dude is douchey and has “little man wants to fight” syndrome.

  4. Sloane Wyatt says:

    Just a drunk idiot who kisses and tells, Shia is a waste of space and spectacularly untalented.

  5. daisydoodle says:

    I’m looking for the “like” button to push….

  6. Chris says:

    LOL!!! The dude was saved by a guy on crutches!!! Wow, what a disgrace. Thank you, I really needed a good laugh!

  7. brin says:

    Shia La Douche strikes again…I mean gets struck again!

  8. Auds says:

    I can’t understand how he became an actor. He has no screen charisma, not even for a b-grade shlock horror slash film.
    More a case of major nepotism. He has to know somebody who knows someone high up in La-La Land.

  9. Kaboom says:

    Who would punch him in the face to brag about it? It’s hard enough to pronounce his name when sober, much more so when bragging drunk.

  10. mia girl says:

    Alcoholism + entitlement + self-loathing + mommy issues +
    no boundaries + misguided romantic sense of debauchery giving him creative cred + anger + talent + money + short guy syndrome +
    sadness = Shia.

  11. madpoe says:

    lol – sorry the first pix reminds me of the tv show “Welcome Back Kotter” – put a robe on him and he can play Joseph – JC’s dad.

  12. tripmom says:

    Maybe he should ask himself what it is about him that makes everyone want to punch him in the face. I mean, I kinda want to.

  13. Bev says:

    I have to disagree on the talentless part.. he’s actually great onscreen. there’s an element of ad-lib to his performances that’s so organic…

    With that being said, stay your ass at home Shia. God. You’re practically a graduate from the douche school of douchebag. Just stop.

  14. Pyewacket says:

    I have never liked this fool.

    He is just gross to me in so many ways.

  15. Faye says:

    I used to like Shia, but lately my opinion of him has dropped. He just seems so unpleasant. That doesn’t mean I condone people punching him in the face, or at all really. I guess unless he started it.

  16. aenflex says:

    he might be a lil douchey.
    but, i think part of the problem too is that he and his buds try to hang out in places like regular folks…after transformers, that aint gonna happen.
    anyhow yeah, he has a big go and no self control when drinking. young. tsk.

  17. Chelsey says:

    Around the 1:10 mark, you can hear the girl explaining what happened and she says something like, “he tries to fight with everyone…” I’ve heard this multiple times, that Shia tends to run his mouth and start fights all the time. So, this doesn’t seem like a surprise to me. Hopefully he’ll get help, because one day he’s going to end up messing with the wrong person and get a lot worse than a couple punches to the face…

  18. Embee says:

    @mia girl – you absolutely nailed it. Thank you!

    Also, I think the only reason he gets women is that he is a perfect magnet to women with codependency issues (in other words, an addict/abuser/irregular personality with no sense of personal resposibility).

  19. The Bobster says:

    I always wondered which mogul he fellated to become an overnight “star”. I never saw any star quality in him.

  20. Justaposter says:

    I had to do a double take.. he looks just like a young Noah Wyle!

  21. Devon says:

    I like Shia but I think he’s got issues with booze too. My friend can’t stand him but I will see any movie with him in it. I think he’s cute in a dorky sort of way.

    I live 2 blocks from Granville & Smithe (where Cinema is) and Granville Street, on a weekend night while drunk, is not a place for someone who is itching for a fight. It’s a couple of blocks of drunk debauchery. It’s where all the freaking idiots congregate at night since it’s where most of the bars are in downtown Vancouver. Not surprised Shia got clocked there. Also not surprised it happened at Cinema. Whenever I walk by, it’s full of d-bags and GTL wannabes. I tried it once but the service was terrible & the waitress gave me major attitude when I asked why there was no debit machine, just an ATM in the lobby.

  22. pwal says:

    Maybe this is karma for airing out his fling with Megan Fox. That was as unnecessary as him getting in street fights.

  23. Kimbob says:

    Yeah…@mia girl…good one!

    Let’s be real, this jerk is just a glorified alcoholic.

    Unfortunately, I can understand this guy…as I’ve said before, I’m in recovery and doing well, thank God. But, & I’m a woman, but I used to do the same thing. Of course that was not my intention, but when I went to bars, & being an alky, I’d drink more than I should have. Someone would end up making fun of me, or I’d see people talking about me, & I didn’t like it, so I’d proceed to beat the shit out of ’em. I’d get thrown out, or the cops were called…or both. Not pretty.

    There are some people (roughly 10% of the population) that have a “genetic tic” that predisposes them to alcoholism. Some people are like me….add alcohol = instant asshole. Like I did, Shia needs to get a clue. That type of behavior is not acceptable!

  24. drawbackwards says:

    3rd picture… is that not marilyn manson?

  25. OXA says:

    Shia LaDouche reminds me of a t-shirt I bought as a gift years ago, it said “Instant Asshole Just add Alcohol”

  26. No Sensei says:

    This was from all Indiana Jones fans – bam!

  27. Turtle Dove says:

    YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    LOL.

    Thank you Vancouver dude for beating this jerks ass to the ground.

    Now we just need to find a way to get Michael Bay to Cinema in Vancouver.

    mia girl – lol. SO TRUE

  28. annie_grey says:

    Einstein, is that you?

  29. danielle says:

    I never got why people thought he was god’s gift to acting…he seems only ok to me.

  30. ShanKat says:

    Angry little man with a Mommy complex…always getting into sweaty, drunk messes with dudes.

    Not gay at all.

  31. Lairen says:

    Ugh, Shia. I’ve never been a fan and I’m especially not now. He seems so entitled all the time. Also, yeah, isn’t that Marilyn Manson in the background of the third pic? Random.

  32. Will says:

    He looks like either Borat or Screech in that episode of “Saved By the Bell” where he wore a fake mustache and tried to make and sell his own spaghetti sauce.

  33. fallen says:

    I agree with Devon, I live in Vancouver and there is always drunk people trying to start fights on Granville late at night.
    I think I saw him last week downtown, not sure if it was him and he was just keeping to himself so i guess drinking really messes him up.

  34. Shy says:

    He is such a trash. I still can’t believe that english lady like Carey Mulligan would date him. You know like they say: “You can take person from trailer park but you can’t take trailer park from person”.

    That is about Shia. He has all that money, access to best and richest places.. and still he looks like a homeless person (with that cloth, that beard) and hangs out in some trash bars where he pick up fights with some drunk trailer park dudes.

  35. Miss Kitty says:

    As a recovering alcoholic I can tell you that Shia is definitely and alcoholic. He needs rehab/detox and to start going to AA. It works.

  36. Q says:

    Gonna put on my Freud Hat here

    Shia was raised in a very rough part of LA and when to a high school that it was probably kill or be killed

    As one of the few white guys in Encino Park, and a short one at that, he was probably beaten up on the regular.

    I’m guessing using his fists is at this point practically a reflex action for him as its what he really knows as a survival tactic.

    Throw in alcohol and its a dangerous combo.

  37. tvcon says:

    he has a drinking problem

  38. smh says:

    @mia girl: “misguided romantic sense of debauchery giving him creative cred” all you said was pretty much a summary of truth but this one made me lol the most. or maybe it’s matthew fox syndrome?

  39. Devon says:

    @fallen Everyone gets into trouble down there. Last year after a Kaskade concert, a friend and I went to the pizza place kitty corner to Cinema. Some toddler, read: 17, was hogging all the Parmesan cheese. I asked her if she was done with it and she wouldn’t respond. Half jokingly, I was like, “oh come on, don’t be a bitch.” This trick SLAPPED the pizza out of my hand and leaped at me and me being completely wasted, I started to retaliate. Thank goodness my friend was there and he took me home. Moral of the story is: do not be drunk on Granville. It always ends badly.

  40. ShanKat says:

    I don’t think there’s anything rough about Encino. It’s a pretty posh little suburb.

    Shia was a child actor. Which pretty much explains everything.

  41. Oyster says:

    Marilyn Manson, my god man. Cheeseburgers are a hell of a drug.
