Scott Eastwood name-drops ‘psychopath’ A-lister he got into on-set confrontation with

Scott Eastwood detailed his on-set confrontation with “psychopath” Shia LaBeouf while the two co-starred in “Fury” — just days after calling out another actor for dropping out of a separate movie.
“Look, Shia is clearly tormented and has maybe got some stuff going on. It was tough,” Eastwood said on the “Armchair Expert” podcast Monday.
“One day, he was having an episode and thought I shouldn’t be spitting tobacco on the tank — which was in the script — and then I finally said enough is enough.

“I said, ‘F–k you. Stop pulling your s–t.’ I said, ‘I’m gonna whoop your ass.’”
Eastwood, 40, said their other co-star Brad Pitt had to break up the “tense moment.”
The “Longest Ride” star recalled LaBeouf, also 40, being a “very method” actor — even pulling out one of his teeth and cutting himself to get into character.
“And I remember thinking, ‘OK. This guy’s crazy. I’m just gonna keep clear from this guy. I don’t play this game.’”

Eastwood claimed that “everyone had moments with Shia” on the set of the 2014 American war film.
“Grow the f–k up,” Eastwood said of LaBeouf. “It’s funny. The film industry attracts psychopaths because it’s art and business and they kind of intersect.”
Page Six has reached out to LaBeouf’s rep for comment.
LaBeouf has been to rehab multiple times for alcohol addiction and has a slew of arrests spanning over three decades.

This isn’t the first time the troubled actor has been accused of clashing with co-stars on set.
While shooting the 2012 film “Lawless,” rumors circulated that the “Transformers” star knocked Tom Hardy out.
However, LaBeouf disputed the rumors in 2019, telling “Hot Ones” host Sean Evans that he and Hardy were simply roughhousing and had been wrestling for sport.
“Yeah, it’s a bunch of bulls–t,” he said. “We used to wrestle all the time and he’s a big f–king person, especially then. He was getting ready [to play] Bane [in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’].”
However, director John Hillcoat appeared to confirm that the two actors fought and had to be restrained.
“There was definitely a fight between them,” Hillcoat told Collider in January.
“It escalated to the point where they had to both be restrained. But I was very pleased to hear it didn’t go that way because I would hate to see the outcome.”

Just last week, Eastwood called out another actor — who he did not name — on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast on June 29.
“I just worked with somebody and, without saying any names, people get too famous for too long and think the world owes them something,” he told listeners.
He continued, “They decided after we’d already spent a bunch of money that they just didn’t want to work with this other person and didn’t want to do the job. I was like, ‘OK, then you need to pay that money back to the person who invested in you.’ They were like, ‘I’m not gonna do that.’”
The actor “just left” the project. Eastwood added, “It was their directorial, their story, their thing. And it was just like, bro, you took money from somebody.”
He called the situation “shocking” and “unbelievable,” adding, “It’s black and white. Do the right thing. Don’t be a piece of s‑‑t. You can’t do that.”
He then said the industry is “really ugly” behind the scenes.
