In 2011, actor Shia LaBeouf
made a revelation that caused quite a stir. He said that he’d been involved in
a romantic relationship with his Transformers co-star Megan Fox. The fling
unfolded around the time when Fox was supposedly engaged to Brian Austin Green.
LaBeouf had told Decider in an
interview, “Look, you’re on the set for six months, with someone who’s rooting
to be attracted to you, and you’re rooting to be attracted to them. I never
understood the separation of work and life in that situation. But the time I
spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can see the chemistry
onscreen.”
The statement, according to
Insider, was controversial because Fox was engaged to Green at the time.
LaBeouf was asked about this, to which he replied, “I don’t know, man. I don’t
know. I don’t know,” 12 times. “It was what it was.”
The same report stated that
LaBeouf was so protective of Fox when they were together that when a Taco Bell
cashier said something rude to her, “LaBeouf wound up going behind the register
and whaling on the guy.”
In the same profile, LaBeouf
admitted to being involved with his Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen co-star
Isabel Lucas, at a time when she was dating Adrien Grenier. “It was sort of
disastrous. Neither one of us, I think, were in love. Just sort of
experimenting or whatever,” he said. Lucas and Grenier split up after she was
involved in a car crash with LaBeouf while filming the second Transformers
movie.
According to People, Fox and
Green “initially got engaged in November 2006 after dating for about two years,
until they called it off in February 2009. They have engaged again over a year
later, before tying the knot soon after.” The first Transformers film was
released in 2007, and the second one was released in 2009. Green announced this
week that he and Fox had separated after 10 years of marriage. Fox had
previously filed for divorce in 2015, only to reconcile. They have three
children together.
