During an appearance on "Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard," Scott Eastwood recounted a near physical altercation with Shia LaBeouf on the set of the 2014 film "Fury." Eastwood found LaBeouf's commitment to method acting, which involved actions like pulling out a tooth and self-inflicted facial cuts, to be intensely unsettling.
The tension escalated when Eastwood, following script instructions, spat tobacco juice onto the film's tank. LaBeouf reacted aggressively, prompting Eastwood to threaten him. Brad Pitt reportedly stepped in to de-escalate the situation before any punches were thrown. Pitt had initially misunderstood the conflict, believing Eastwood was being disrespectful. However, upon checking the script, he realized Eastwood was merely performing his role as written.
