The True Story Behind Shia Labeouf And Tom Hardy's On-Set Fight - IMDb. Back in 2012, Tom Hardy co-starred in the movie Lawless with Shia Labeouf.

Pitt also previously addressed the scuffle in his British GQ profile in 2014, calling LaBeouf "one of the best actors I've ever seen," noting, "He's full-on commitment, man." "We were driving down the road, I'm in the turret, Shia is at the other turret, and Scott is on the back, spitting juice," Pitt said.
