Stars Who Lost Their Tempers On Set

Shia LaBeouf co-starred with Tom Hardy in the 2012 crime drama Lawless, and the film's director, Tom Hillcoat, confirmed in a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" session "that there was definitely a fight between them. It escalated to the point where they had to both be restrained."

Hardy offered more details to Details (via Den of Geek) although the interviewer noted that it was unclear whether Hardy was putting the journalists on. "I got knocked out by Shia LaBeouf, actually," Hardy declared, adding, "apparently." According to Hardy, the former child star "knocked me out sparko. Out cold. He's a bad, bad boy. He is." While Hardy likewise didn't offer information on what may have sparked the altercation, he declared of LaBeouf, "He's quite intimidating as well. He's a scary dude."

LaBeouf, however, insisted in a Hot Ones interview that Hardy's claims were "a bunch of bulls**t" and offered his version of events. Hardy, he explained, burst into LaBeouf's room (so, okay, this wasn't exactly an "on-set" blowout), dragged him out of bed naked and proceeded to "wrestle" with him. As they wrestled, they wound up at the top of a staircase, with Hardy "[falling] down the stairs" and "hurting his back." Hardy, he added, spread the rumor that LaBeouf beat him up but "that wasn't the case. We were having some weird, like, cutie wrestling match."
