Shia LaBeouf Says Bad Word: World Sheds Crocodile Tears Shia LaBeouf has a daft name, that much most will agree on. It also seems he likes to call his friends daft names to prompt them into striking him in the face. Why 'The Beef' would want to be hit in the face is open to speculation - maybe he saw that Tarzan scene in the new Indy flick one too many times and felt he needed to take some small steps towards making amends. Namely, through violence. Though, let's be honest, it would need more than a simple slap to make up for that abortion of a movie moment.
