Shia LaBeouf talks about injuries on and off the Transformers 2 set


Obviously, all of your Shia-maniacs know all about the rollover crash that Shia LeBeouf was in while coming home one night from hanging with some of his Transformers castmates. Shia hasn't talked too in-depth about it, but he sat down with Playboy to talk about the crash and how serious his injuries were.

My hand got jammed under the car, and a slice of the finger came off. So I just picked it up and showed it to the fireman... It was really insane-looking. The firemen were like, 'Get this dude to a hospital.' My middle finger is still crooked as a f*cking noodle, so they've gotta straighten it out and put a screw in it. I imagine [it will take] like two months and I'll be back on my feet, [and] I'll be able to make a fist again. There's a knuckle I'll never be able to move again.

That's not the only injury that Shia's had to deal with lately. After taking very little time off after the crash because he felt bad that the Transformers crew was "sitting on their asses doing nothing." He said filming and doing stunts with his injury was really tough, and there was an instance where he almost got seriously injured on-set.

It's hard to do anything. It's hard to button your pants or brush your teeth, let alone jump off a three-story building into a pad," LaBeouf says. "It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. Constantly having to take hits and fall and run through explosions and get hit and beat up all day. Aside from my hand, I also got 25 stitches making this movie, in various parts of my body -- stuff that had nothing to do with my hand. I basically stuck a f*cking sharp object through my eyelid. They stitched me up in a military hospital. The doctor looks at me and he holds his thumb and forefinger about an inch apart from one another. I said, 'What is that?' He said, 'Blindness.' This is the most insane sh*t I've ever been a part of.

Dude, if this movie isn't one of the crazy best movies ever, I'd be ripsh*t if I were Shia. Missing fingers, almost going blind -- Megan Fox should at least do him at the end of every shoot day, just for being such a trooper.
