Scott Eastwood Reveals He Once Threatened to 'Whoop' Shia LaBeouf During a Heated On-Set Clash

Scott Eastwood has revealed that he once came close to a physical confrontation with Shia LaBeouf while the two were filming Fury (2014), admitting he became so angry that he threatened to "whoop" his co-star on set.

Speaking on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast, the 40-year-old actor recalled a tense incident that took place during the production of the World War II drama. According to Eastwood, the situation escalated to the point where Brad Pitt had to step in and defuse the confrontation before it got out of hand.

"There was an incident that happened. I've talked about it before. Brad Pitt stepped in and broke up a really tense moment," Eastwood said.

He explained that Shia LaBeouf is a committed method actor, known for taking his performances to extreme lengths. During the filming of Fury, LaBeouf reportedly pulled out one of his own teeth and even cut himself in an effort to fully embody his character, Boyd "Bible" Swan.

"I remember thinking, 'OK, this guy's crazy. I'm just going to stay clear of him.' I don't play that game. You can do whatever you want for your performance, but there are plenty of ways to deliver a great performance while still being professional."

According to Eastwood, tensions reached a boiling point when LaBeouf allegedly took issue with him spitting chewing tobacco onto a tank during one scene—even though the action was specifically written into the script.

"Finally, I'd had enough. I said, 'Enough's enough. F--- you. Stop pulling your s---. I'm going to whoop your a--.'"

Eastwood said the crew quickly stepped in and separated the two before the confrontation turned into an actual fight.

This is not the first time Scott Eastwood has publicly criticized fellow actors in Hollywood.

During a recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, he recalled working with an unnamed Hollywood star who walked away from a film after production had already spent a significant amount of money.

"Without naming names... some people stay famous for so long that they start thinking the world owes them something."

According to Eastwood, the actor refused to continue working with another person involved in the project, despite the substantial investment that had already been made.

"They decided they didn't want to work with that person anymore and didn't want to do the movie. I told them they should pay back the people who had invested in them. They said, 'I'm not going to do that.'"

Eastwood claimed the actor simply abandoned the project, even though the film was centered around that person's own story.

"It's black and white. Do the right thing. Don't be a piece of s---. You can't behave like that."

As the son of Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood, Scott said experiences like these have made him realize that certain behavior tolerated in the entertainment industry would never be accepted in most other professions.

"I've seen some behavior in this business that's absolutely shocking. It wouldn't fly in any other industry, but because we idolize actors, people sometimes let it slide."
