‘Transformers’ Actor Caught in Awkward Underwear Encounter in Rome

LaBeouf’s week-long trip to Rome for his father’s baptism followed a $100,000 bond and rehab order after a Mardi Gras arrest in New Orleans, police said.

  • On Tuesday, actor Shia LaBeouf was filmed barefoot in boxer briefs in a Rome hotel lobby, repeatedly asking guests for a light in footage TMZ obtained.
  • A judge later approved the one‑week trip for actor Shia LaBeouf to attend his father Jeffrey Craig LaBeouf's baptism in Rome after an initial denial.
  • Police and court records state LaBeouf was charged with two counts of simple battery and released shortly after a Mardi Gras bar fight in New Orleans.
  • Court records say he must return to Louisiana on March 19 after a one-week stay in Rome, Italy, to attend rehab and drug testing.
  • Observers say the episode renews concern about Shia LaBeouf's recovery, and Page Six reports he moved to New Orleans after splitting from Mia Goth, admitting to making 'a lot of mistakes' in March.
