Transformers sensation Shia LaBeouf has caused quite a stir among his peers while working on the set of his recent big-budget film.
Sources close to the 27-year-old actor, who has been actively involved in shooting the £50 million World War II movie Fury in the UK, disclosed that he faced significant backlash from fellow actors such as Brad Pitt and British star Jason Isaacs.
Interestingly, LaBeouf even had to switch between three different hotels in the Oxfordshire region where the filming took place.
Reportedly, multiple individuals on set, including renowned figures like Brad Pitt and director David Ayer, advised Shia regarding his conduct.
However, he appeared to disregard all warnings and ultimately ended up residing in a secluded bed-and-breakfast establishment away from the rest of the cast.
It appears that LaBeouf, portraying an American soldier in Fury, was deeply committed to employing method acting techniques for his character portrayal.
According to insiders, Shia’s actions were driven by his desire to demonstrate unparalleled dedication on set.
He notably went to extreme lengths such as extracting his own tooth early on during filming and subsequently refraining from showering for extended periods to immerse himself in the experiences of a soldier living in the trenches.
This incident is just one of the many controversies surrounding LaBeouf.
Merely a month ago, he faced public scrutiny for appropriating substantial sections of screenwriter Daniel Clowes’ graphic novel in his short film without due credit or acknowledgment.
Moving on to another high-profile individual, could Sir Paul McCartney be contemplating a change of residence come the new year?
Recent reports suggest that the iconic musician is exploring the possibility of acquiring an £8 million apartment situated on New York’s prestigious Fifth Avenue, renowned as one of the world’s most opulent avenues.
This potential property acquisition is located in close proximity to another flat McCartney has owned since as far back as 1984 on West 54th Street.
Accompanied by his wife Nancy Shevell, the former Beatle examined this luxurious 3,335 sq ft apartment with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a mahogany-clad library, a formal dining area, and breathtaking vistas of Central Park.
In a contrasting entertainment snippet, distinguished actor Jim Broadbent showcased his versatility by embracing an unconventional wardrobe choice for his role in The Harry Hill Movie.
Despite the character initially being scripted as female, the 64-year-old performer opted to don a dress and a wig for his portrayal of a cleaner in the film, showcasing his willingness to experiment beyond conventional gender roles.
Comedian Harry Hill recounted how the idea evolved from considering Broadbent for the part to him suggesting the unique twist, demonstrating his openness to creative reinterpretations.
