Shia the Anti-Bloom?


Sometimes a story sounds really good but you just don't buy it. Like this one about Shia LaBeouf's accident and the reaction of the other driver (via WENN via Starpule):

Shia LaBeouf's starstruck crash victim urged the actor to flee the scene of his Sunday morning car crash. Brian Perrulli, one of the first bystanders on the scene when LaBeouf's truck was overturned following the incident, says everyone realized the actor was badly hurt and had been drinking, and the other motorist suggested the star should make a run for it.

The eyewitness says, "The other guy was saying, `Maybe you should go, maybe you should get outta here,' and he [LaBeouf] said, 'No, I've gotta deal with this... It's my problem.'"


Aw, Shia the big responsibility-taker. Really? While he was totally off his ass drunk? He was coherent enough to compute the type of shit he was in and realize his best move was to stay and take care of it? No. Drunks in crashes don't talk that way. They sit there on the curb looking dazed, coughing and heaving and talking crazy. I'd really like to believe Shia is the anti-Orlando Bloom - a guy who faces his shit head-on and doesn't try to slink away - but I think the reason he stayed was, he was too plastered to do much else.
