10 Actors Who Took Method Acting Too Far

Shia has pulled some incredible stunts for an actor who started his career in Disney’s Holes and Michael Bay’s Transformers franchise, whether it’s auditioning for Lars Von Trier’s controversial Nymphomaniac by sending the auteur a sex tape of his or taking part in a series of bizarre performance art pieces over the last few years.

But he truly upped his game for Fury, a cracking WWII movie co-starring Brad Pitt and somehow made by Suicide Squad helmer David Ayer. For the hyper-intense war movie, LaBeouf committed to realism wholesale by refusing to shave, cut his hair, or even bathe during filming - until Pitt told him to give it a rest, that is.

Despite this impediment, LaBeouf nonetheless returned to form by cutting a scar into his own face between takes according to co-star Logan Lerman, who claims the actor kept a handful of genuine facial wounds open throughout the shoot.
