L'acteur Shia LaBeouf assume son homophobie après une violente bagarre
The actor, known for his lead role in "Transformers," was arrested for public intoxication on February 17 after hitting two people in the street.
In an interview with YouTuber Andrew Callaghan, the 39-year-old actor explained what led to his arrest in the middle of Mardi Gras celebrations in the city. "When I'm alone and three gay men are next to me and touch my leg, I get scared," he said. "I'm sorry. If that's homophobia, then yes, I am. Honestly, large gay men scare me," he added.
The actor, known for his lead role in "Transformers", was arrested on February 17 in New Orleans during the Mardi Gras festivities after hitting two people in the street outside a bar.
Although the exact circumstances of this arrest are still unknown, two people from the LGBT community asserted a few days later that the actor, who rose to fame in the Disney series "Even Stevens" ("The War of the Stevens" in French), had uttered homophobic insults.
While he didn't directly confirm these remarks, the actor acknowledged having an altercation with a gay person and stated that he was annoyed by the presence of gay people near him. "I have nothing against gay people, but don't be gay near me. Don't be gay on my lap," he said.
The 39-year-old actor also attempted to downplay the impact of his homophobic remarks by citing the alcohol he had consumed that day. "I was drunk and it was Mardi Gras. So everything I said is worthless," he explained.
Shia LaBeouf had previously been arrested in 2017 for public intoxication. During his arrest, he made racist remarks toward the police, according to the Associated Press, before apologizing and citing his alcohol addiction.
