Shia LaBeouf Won't Drop Beef With Frankie Muniz

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 1st 2010 04:00PM

Even when Shia LaBeouf has six number one movies in a row and a peaking career, he still likes putting down Frankie Muniz. When asked about his success on a radio program on Sept. 30 called 'The Bert Show,' LaBeouf opportunistically took a compliment and used it to tweak his longtime nemesis.

"While that's flattering as hell, you could have put Frankie Muniz into any of the movies I've been in and it would've still been No.1," the 'Transformers' actor snidely remarked.

The feud between the young actors began back in 2003 when Muniz was hitting his stride as the lead in 'Malcolm and the Middle,' and LaBeouf told EW about his feelings about the star child at the time.

"I used to see him at premieres and stuff and it would always be like he was looking down on me, and then it turned into we're equal, and then it turned into 'Oh Frankie, I know that guy,'" LaBeouf said in the interview.

The DJ then asked if LaBeouf was concerned that Muniz might hear this and come up to him at a party, and then it got nastier.

"I don't go to many parties and I don't really hang out in Frankie Muniz-type zones," LaBeouf said.

Ouch.

Muniz punched back the best way to do it these days -- through Twitter.

"Dear Shia LaBeouf, it's getting creepy the fact that you can't stop talking about me," Muniz tweeted. "It's been 12 years now. I don't know you. Thanks."

Clearly these little boys will never learn how to play nice.

Ya know that "reowww" sound ya make when two females are being catty and acting like they are in 7th grade? What sound do we use for males that act this way? Just wondering?

People tend to castigate others for things they do themselves

Shia always gave me the creeps. Why is he trying to start a fight. Makes me think even less of him!

The Beefmaster's need to dump on other people to make himself feel better can be boiled down to the three letters: J-E-W. He's a giant case of Just Envy Walking.

Shia's a yawn. Can't we replace him with someone interesting?

THANK YOU! Shania's name sounds like a European way to cook roast beef. If you like your roast beef with an attitude that is.

It must be another slow news day? Both of these dudes are zeros.

Shia was cool once... for a 44 minute episode of X-Files. Ever since the unlawful smoking a while back, I've thought differently of him.

He couldn't have chosen truer words! Shia lends absolutely nothing to his movies. Hell, Gilbert Gottfried could take his place and the movies would still be #1; not because the movies are that good, but because the audiences are that stupid and easy to please.

Shia LaBeouf has no more talent than a . . . "Shia Pet"!

how about a celebrity boxing match for charity?

Time to man-up and shut-up, as well as, mature a little, Shia. Frankie always seemed like a nice guy! You should be humble and thankful for where you are in Hollywood, and not be a smart a**.

By heidihi

Didn't Shia say he something to the effect that his mother turns him on? He may be a little weird. Frankie obviously hurt Shia's pride or feelings, but please Shia, you are living large now so don't be jealous.

By Donna

I loved Frankie on Malcolm In The Middle, he was hilarious.
Shia must be jealous of Frankie.
Frankie has alot more going for him than Shia ever will.
They need to let this go, and move on.

"Frankie has alot more going for him than Shia ever will."

Like what exactly? I seriously cannot think of a single thing that Muniz has going for him that beats Shia. Seriously.. Shia has already worked with Caruso, BBT, Spielberg, Ford, Hurt, Blanchette, Palminteri, Weist, Christie, Stone, Douglas, and has been lauded by all of them as the next big thing. Muniz has starred in Agent Cody Banks and may have a future as the youngest spokesperson for Hair Club for Men.

Shia says--"While that's flattering as hell, you could have put Frankie Muniz into any of the movies I've been in and it would've still been No.1,"
Maybe I am seeing this differently but this sounds like Shia is deminishing his OWN impact on the success of his films. So it was like he was saying the film would have been a success anyway without him. Doesn't sound so bad....but he should just stop talking about Frankie Muniz already anyway

Another arrogant actor, no surprise here. Move along folks.

Speaking as a heterosexual male. One of them is much prettier than the other and a lot less annoying as an adult actor and the other one will be on Dancing With the Stars and wearing a toupee in the next ten years. I mean honestly one of them is obviously the winner and the other is obviously a has been before he reached the age of 30.
