10 Best Movie Star vs. Paparazzi Punch Ups

10. Shia LaBeouf Throws Hot Coffee (2010)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJb-6yjgDtc We'll start the countdown with a man who gets a lot of grief €“ but let's be honest, brings it on himself a lot of the time €“ Shia LaBeouf, who supports his primary career of being an actor with that of being a critic of his own films, regularly slagging off the pictures he has appeared in. This isn't such a desirable quality but it could be said to stem from the conditions of working on big budget features. Perhaps this is why he's moved into the more artistic side of the film industry with offerings like Charlie Countryman and the upcoming Nymphomaniac directed by the depraved Lars Von Trier. Faults and career trajectory aside, his run-in with the paparazzi in 2010 is what lands him here. As he was minding his own business outside a café, he became aware that he was being watched. This was bad news €“ for the paparazzi that is. Arming himself with the only thing close to hand, a cup of piping hot coffee, he charged the fleeing photographers. Unbeknownst to them, there would be no mercy as he pegged the nearest paparazzo with the contents of his cup. The crowning glory of this incident has to be that after he flings the coffee, he doesn't stop running €“ it's like the worst chase scene ever put to film.
