Eastwood explained that the actor had issues with was Shia LaBeouf, calling him a “psychopath.”
“Look, Shia is clearly tormented and has maybe got some stuff going on. It was tough,” Eastwood said on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast on Monday.
He continued, “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 you’re a–.’”
Eastwood said their co-star, Brad Pitt, had to intervene in the “tense moment.”

The actor said LaBeouf was “very method,” meaning he strived to never break character on set. Eastwood claimed LaBeouf pulled out one of his own teeth and cut himself to get in 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,’” he recalled.
According to Eastwood, “everyone had moments with Shia” on the set of the 2014 film, which also starred Logan Lerman, Jon Bernthal, Michael Pena, and Jason Isaacs.
“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.”
