Actor says YouTube footage was taken years ago
Wednesday, 11 June 2008
Shia LaBeouf has issued an apology after a video of him using a homophobic term appeared on YouTube.
The clip, which has now been taken down, was filmed several years ago at a house party.
His rep says he used the gay slur in jest when he was very young.
‘The videotape that is currently being circulated is several years old and captures Shia playing a game among friends in which he uses a derogatory word toward a friend,’ his rep tells People.
‘He regrets having used the word in any capacity and is very embarrassed that this footage is being seen by anyone.’
The Transformers star, now 22, was recently fined £250 for illegal smoking.
