Shia LaBeouf Clashed With Jon Voight's Method Acting On "Holes"

What is your most surreal moment on a film set? I worked with Shia LaBeouf on the Robert Redford film 'The Company You Keep' in 2012. It was on a set in Vancouver's city hall that was made to be a DMV license office. He had a funny interaction with an old Grip guy (on a ladder fixing a light) as Shia kept saying he looked like his Father. I don't think he knew who LaBeouf was, which made it even more hilarious.

Shia LaBeouf was at the Steel City Con, where he opened up about his breakout 2003 film 'Holes', where he clashed with his co-star Jon Voight. And I know what you're thinking, Voight tried selling his 89 Chevy LeBaron to LaBeouf with blood in the engine, but it has to come down to method acting.

“Jon Voight is walking around in character. I’d never been around somebody like that, who doesn’t break. He’s spitting these sunflower seeds around, and he’s like mean, and I’m like, ‘Nah, this isn’t going to work.’”

“My dad was my dad. He didn’t know nothing about that, either. So he and my dad had to have a whole thing. Oh, boy. Then, because my dad’s not diplomatic — at this point, he’s only four years out of prison. And Jon Voight is playing these games…Jon had to check my dad, which was healthy for my family. A lot went on.”

LaBeouf said the heat on the set led to an accident at the circus (where trailers are placed): “There was this kid who used to have a toothpick in his mouth all the time. That kid, Jake. We all had these half trailers, and I was in the half trailer with him. I’m sitting in the trailer with my dad one time, we’re playing gin rummy, and I hear this huge bang. The whole thing rocks.”

“I walk outside, and this dude has flown out of his side of the trailer, and the whole wall of the trailer has blown out. He’s not just out there; the whole wall is blown out of the trailer. It’s because the refrigeration unit, it was so hot in Ridgecrest that the refrigerator — there was like an oxygen bomb that went off in the refrigerator and blew this kid across the desert.”
