Shia Labeouf Seems Sort of Crazy

Shia Labeouf intentionally cut his face repeatedly and removed a tooth while filming The Fury. Brad Pitt was super enthused about this because he produced the movie and therefore gets enormous royalties so it seemed like solid sensationalized promotional jargon:

“He’s one of the best actors I’ve ever seen. He’s full-on commitment, man. He’s living it like no one else, let me tell you… I’ve been fortunate to work with a lot of great actors. He’s one of the best I’ve seen.”

Pitt should be impressed. Not because Labeouf is especially talented, but effort of any sort wows him since he shows up stoned to his pre-offered movie cameos and mumbles while cashing paychecks. Labeouf is the polar opposite. Well hated and dedicated as opposed to beloved and high on hashish. Pitt’s admiration probably stems from an inherent narcissism. Like when you watch a little kid try and work the TV remote. You could jump in and do it correctly but its fun to sit there and smile under your breath while they pull their teeth out.

It’s refreshing to see Labeouf actually cares about acting, yet it is equally irritating he is in the movie because his face is fucking annoying. If I were Pitt, I’d test Labeouf’s commitment by telling him you need to shoot an additional scene where his character has his nut sack shredded by a mortar.
