10 Major On-Set Clashes That Almost Ruined Recent Movies

10. Tom Hardy Vs Shia LaBeouf, Lawless (2012)

The story of three Moonshine bootlegger brothers played by Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf and Jason Clarke turned out to be a decent enough period movie. But maybe the actors had been suppin’ on some of the illicit grog themselves since LaBeouf suggested that he had to keep Hardy in check during filming. In response, Hardy has suggested, somewhat sarcastically, that LaBeouf ‘knocked him out’ on set.

It’s worth noting that Hardy was promoting his film Warrior, playing a nut-case meathead UFC fighter, when he admitted this. So, Shia LaBeouf knocked out Tom ‘traps’ Hardy? Well, director John Hillcoat has corroborated that some kind of fight did happen between Hardy and LaBeouf, but has downplayed how violent it was.

Just what the altercation was about is difficult to glean, although LaBeouf has posted a host of bizarre viral videos of late and has a string of offences against his name, from chasing a homeless man over his McDonald’s meal to slapping fellow theatre-goers during a performance of Cabaret. We’ll hear more from Shia later.
