Shia LaBeouf spotted asking strangers for matches in hotel
Shia LaBeouf had recently gotten into legal trouble after a bar brawl and a subsequent battery charge. He has once again drawn attention for the wrong reasons at a hotel in Italy.
The 39-year-old Hollywood star was caught in a video wearing nothing but his boxers. He was asking people at the hotel lobby for a match. He carried a loose cigarette in his mouth. LaBeouf seemingly caused quite a scene as some people reportedly looked uncomfortable with the behavior.
“C’mon, bro … give me a f***ing match. You got a match?” LaBeouf can be heard in the video obtained by TMZ.
Shortly before this, a judge ordered LaBeouf to return to drug and alcohol rehabilitation. This was after he was charged with two counts of battery over an alleged assault that took place in February 2026.
In an interview with Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan, the actor admitted that it was his own fault. “It’s not nice to hurt people – ever, it’s f***ing lame. People got hurt, we’ve gotta deal with that. I’m gonna deal with that in full,” he said, “I’ll eat it all. It was on me, not on them. It was on me. I f***ed up.”
The actor further explained that “clout chasing” was the reason he ended up in the brawl. The actor explained his action, saying, “I was drunk, and then I felt infringed upon… like in terms of my proximity. But I wasn’t in my right mind, and so it’s on me.”
