Transformers Star Shia LaBeouf Promised to Never Join Franchises After Working With Harrison Ford
Shia LaBeouf is a multi-talented personality as he is not only a great actor, but also a performance artist and a filmmaker. The American actor rose to fame as a child artist on Even Stevens. He even earned a Daytime Emmy for his role on the Disney Channel show in 2003. He has been associated with projects like Transformers, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Disturbia, and Eagle Eye.
Shia LaBeouf has never shied away from expressing his thoughts and opinions. He was a significant part of one of the reputed franchises of the entertainment world, Indiana Jones. The actor did not have a great time while filming the fourth installment of the action-drama franchise.
Shia LaBeouf On Working With Harrison Ford In Indiana Jones
During an interview with the media outlet Los Angeles Times, Shia LaBeouf spoke about being a part of Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones. The mixed reception from the critics and audience had divided the fans into two parts- one that was rooting for Steven Spielberg and the other claimed that the fourth installment of the Indiana Jones franchise wasn’t the best of the legendary director, actor Shia LaBeouf even had similar thoughts. He was quite dissatisfied with his own performance in the movie and said-
“I feel like I dropped the ball on the legacy that people loved and cherished. You get to monkey-swinging and things like that and you can blame it on the writer and you can blame it on Steven [Spielberg, who directed]. But the actor’s job is to make it come alive and make it work, and I couldn’t do it. So that’s my fault. Simple,”

According to the rumors Shia LaBeouf had shared that Harison Ford was not happy with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The Star Wars actor had mentioned in an interview with the media outlet Female First-
“I think I told him he was a f***ing idiot. As an actor, I think it’s my obligation to support the film without making a complete ass of myself. Shia is ambitious, attentive, and talented – and he’s learning how to deal with a situation which is very unique and difficult.”
With an IMDb rating of 6.2 out of 10, Indiana Jones And The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull went on to collect $790 million worldwide.
When Shia LaBeouf Called Tom Hardy A Clown
Tom Hardy and Shia LaBeouf collaborated for the 2012 released movie Lawless. They were brothers onscreen, but could not stand each other in real life. While talking about his co-star, the Disturbia actor even went on to call Tom Hardy a clown. During an interview, the actor mentioned-
“At this point I have enough money to live 25 lifetimes. You couldn’t spend the money I’ve accrued now. [But] I have no interest in the materialistic bulls*** money can buy.”
He further mentioned that-
“They’re talking about Ferraris and s***, like it’s a cool car. If Clarke pulled up in a Ferrari right now, my idea wouldn’t be, ‘What a cool f***ing guy!’ It would be, ‘Look at this clown.’ I think the fact that I despise that stuff keeps me safe. I hang on to my dirt. I like my dirt,”
Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy had a scuffle when the Transformers actor punched Tom Hardy. Later Shia Labeouf clarified that they were just having fun and the entire matter was just blown out of proportion by the media.
Lawless is currently available on Netflix in the U.S.
