Shia LaBeouf is extremely ashamed of a past video shown on YouTube, in which he made a homophobic joke, reports People.
The video, which appeared on the Internet on Monday (June 9) but has since been withdrawn, was shot several years ago. During the recording, the actor made a gay slur to his friends before getting punched afterwards.
The star’s rep stated, "The videotape that is currently being circulated is several years old and captures Shia playing a game among friends in which he uses a derogatory word toward a friend. He regrets having used the word in any capacity and is very embarrassed that this footage is being seen by anyone."
