Crew Describes Shia LaBeouf as ‘Wild’ During Recent Film Shoot

Concerns surrounding Shia LaBeouf’s behavior have intensified following a series of alarming incidents during the filming of his latest project. Crew members from the film, titled *The Rooster Prince*, described LaBeouf as “wild” and “not stable,” citing erratic actions that have raised eyebrows both on and off set.

Erratic Behavior on Set

Before his recent arrest, LaBeouf exhibited increasingly erratic behavior while filming in Oklahoma City. Witnesses noted incidents that included running across a live bullpen with a charging bull during an improvised scene. One production source stated, “He was completely wild,” expressing concern about LaBeouf’s stability during the film’s production.

Arrest in New Orleans

On the morning of Mardi Gras, LaBeouf was arrested in New Orleans on two counts of simple battery after a physical altercation outside a bar near the French Quarter. Police reports indicate he was behaving aggressively and causing a disturbance. Witnesses helped restrain him until officials arrived. LaBeouf was released later that day.

Behavior Leading Up to Arrest

Leading up to his arrest, patrons and bartenders reported that LaBeouf frequented local establishments in an “inebriated” state, forgetting to tip and even interacting with fans in an unusual manner. This behavior did not surprise those who worked with him on *The Rooster Prince*.

Method Acting Gone Awry

LaBeouf was preparing for the role of a bipolar Harvard psychiatrist, a character that required him to embody intense emotions. However, some crew members believe he blurred the lines between method acting and unstable behavior. “There’s Method acting, and there’s whatever the heck happened on *The Rooster Prince*,” one crew member commented.

• Production insights revealed that LaBeouf adopted a Method approach, but many were unsure if his personal instability influenced his performance.
• Despite moments of kindness to crew members, multiple sources described him as temperamental, often threatening to walk off set.

Concern for Safety

LaBeouf’s actions during filming raised safety concerns, particularly when he leapt over a seven-foot guardrail during a scene involving a live bull. Spectators were alarmed as he sprinted across the pen during an unscheduled stunt.

Community Impact

Following these incidents, the Oklahoma film community is on edge. LaBeouf is slated to star in another project, *God of the Rodeo*, later this year, which has local producers concerned about potential issues stemming from the actor’s unpredictable behavior.

In the wake of his arrest, LaBeouf has not publicly addressed the events but has hinted at personal struggles through social media. He continues to navigate his public and private life as he works on future projects.

While the acting community hopes for LaBeouf’s personal recovery, his recent actions cast a shadow over his professional endeavors.
