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.

LaBeouf is an arrogant, annoying little boy when he opens his mouth in the press. He's almost bully-like. If you were his best friend (if you could stand him for that long), you'd end up telling him to "Shut the F@#! up!"
He's not the best of actors out there doing films. His acting skills are sub-par and his people skills are below average. He should be grateful he still has a career because I don't think he'll be doing it in ten years.

He'll eventually end up on a 10PM "cop" show on network tv like so many has beens are now. Mark my word, Shia will be doing CSI in ten years.

I like Shia, but I wish he'd stop picking fights with other actors, sheesh.

First, I have to say that I am a fan of Shia. But he really needs to grow up and move on! It's hilarious, how he whines about how Frankie supposedly looked down on him ... when he's doing the exact same thing to Frankie. Hypocritical much?

Shia, you're 24 years old. Don't you think it's time to stop acting like a high school bully and start acting like the adult you apparently are?! If I were your mother or your girlfriend, I'd be ashamed to be seen with you because of your whiney, childlike behavior. Grow up!
