It looks like Indy Jr. sustained some injuries during the filming of Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. We get wind of these afflictions thanks to our friends at MTV:
“I pulled a rotator cuff in my hip,” Shia LaBeouf said, gesturing to his waist. “It’s the only time in my career I’ve ever been injured. What happened was, because the injury got worse and worse as the movie went on, I pulled my groin also. [The groin] is not a good thing to have anything happen to.”
But injuries are temporary, and film is forever. And this particular scene, the one where he pulled his hip, just happens to be his favorite scene in the movie — one where he gets to finally step into the light as the heir to Indiana Jones. And we can’t tell you a darn thing about it … yet. Though we will say (because Shia admitted to it on the red carpet), that it has to do with a sword fight.
So the crotch in question was pulled during a sword fight. Well, that is as good a way as any to injure yourslef. I am always excited to see sword wielding in a film and am curious to see how much Indy Jr slashes away at his enemies. Will the sword be to Shia what the whip is to Harrison?
We here at the Movie Blog wish Shia and his crotch well. Get plenty of rest, and take your vitamins – you have another giant robot movie to make and you are going to need your strength.
