In a lengthy interview with Details magazine, LaBeouf said he’d engaged in a tussle with Hardy, and that his opponent “never did that roughhouse stuff with me again.” “I got knocked out by Shia LaBeouf, actually,” Hardy said. “In Wettest County, apparently.” At this point, that the atmosphere in the room seemed rather unusual, as though no one involved quite knew whether Hardy was being serious or not. His use of the word ‘apparently’ would also suggest that he was winding us up. Nevertheless, Hardy persisted with his version of what happened. When someone understandably asked Hardy how the fight started, Hardy was less clear. “He just attacked me,” Hardy said, provoking more laughter. “He was drinking moonshine. I was wearing a cardigan, and er, went down. I woke up in Pnut’s arms.” Now, if you’ve seen Hardy’s work in Bronson, or the trailer for Warrior, you’ll know that he’s a fairly well built chap. Is it likely that LaBeouf (who is, shall we say, rather less well built) really knocked out him out? It’s certainly the story that Hardy’s going with, even if the way he related it suggested that he had his tongue firmly in his cheek. Worst Previews Follow Den Of Geek on Twitter right here.
