The actor recently boarded Lars Von Trierâs new erotic drama Nyphomaniac, and the early buzz is LaBeouf may be having real sex with at least one of his co-stars for the role. Thereâs no word on how LaBeoufâs girlfriend might feel about him sticking it somewhere else for his art, but hereâs what the actor told MTVâ¦
"There's a disclaimer at the top of the script that basically says we're doing it for real. Everything that is illegal, we'll shoot in blurred images. Other than that, everything is happening."
Apparently, LaBeouf finds the prospect of working with Von Trier on this movie dangerous, and since not many prospects have the potential to push him in such a direction, he feels like he needs to take the journey and do whatever it is the director asks.
On the one hand, itâs pretty noble that LaBeouf has eschewed the easy, big budget event films to work on projects he finds more intellectually satisfying. On the other hand, itâs kind of insulting that he thinks fucking someone on screen is a more worthy use of his time than making movies most people would actually be interested in seeing.
I think LaBeouf is an awesome actor, but Iâm not sure I can defend this career choice. What do you think? Does this sound like pretentious BS or legitimate art? Let us know your thoughts by voting in the poll belowâ¦
