Shia LaBeouf’s injuries after a Hollywood car accident that tipped his pickup on its side seem to be healing at an accelerated rate, and the star has returned to the set of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen about 2 weeks ahead of schedule.
LaBeouf and his passenger/co-star Isabel Lucas were involved in an early morning car accident on July 27 when another driver ran a red light in Los Angeles. LaBeouf, who received an injury to his hand, underwent surgery and is recovering. He was not expected to return to work for 30 days, but it appears LaBeouf is ready to resume filming.
I am sure Shia is a little sore still or the reports of how serious his injuries are were exaggerated.
I was encouraged that Shia’s absence didn’t worry the Transformers team at all. They expected him to be out of commission for 30 days and their response was along the lines of: This is a movie about giant fucking robots. We’re busy without him.
Interesting that news of his return to work doesn’t bring up the court date for his suspected drunk driving charge. Even if he wasn’t responsible for the accident, police said it was obvious he was intoxicated at the scene and laid charges.
Well with or without him, the movie is still on track.
