Shia LaBeouf Has Shut Down Claims That He Shaded Timothée Chalamet In A Recent Interview By Sharing Their Bizarre 2023 Email Exchange
Earlier this week, Shia LaBeouf faced the wrath of Timothée Chalamet fans after he was accused of throwing shade at the actor during a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. In the profile, Shia discussed how he was fired from the 2013 Broadway play Orphans after he clashed with his co-star Alec Baldwin. If you didn't know, Shia has always been a pretty big advocate for method acting, and slept in Central Park in preparation for this role. Discussing his drive for artistic excellence, the actor said: 'Man, I've been searching for a long time. I'm really, like, a pure actor. When I was young, I didn't think that I required much help to do what I do. I was completely narcissistic and fearful and had a lack of trust.' 'I've been under the tutelage of a lot of dudes who tried to mentor me, but I just didn't trust them, or didn't like what they made or whatever,' Shia concluded. Explaining that finding Catholicism has changed him in recent years, Shia insisted: 'Me and Alec would never have these problems now. But I was an island.' He then said: 'Then I hear Timothée Chalamet get up and he says something like: 'I want to be great.' I so know the feeling. On him, it's cute. On me, it wasn't cute. You know what I'm saying?' This was an obvious reference to Timothée's recent Screen Actors Guild Awards acceptance speech, where he told the crowd: 'I know we're in a subjective business, but I'm really in pursuit of greatness. People don't usually talk like this, but I want to be one of the greats. "I'm inspired by the greats. I'm inspired by the greats here tonight. I'm as inspired by Daniel Day-Lewis, Marlon Brando, and Viola Davis as I am by Michael Jordan and Michael Phelps, and I want to be up there."

However, on Tuesday, Shia seemingly responded to this backlash by sharing a screenshot of an email exchange that he'd had with Timothée in October 2023 as he insisted to his X followers: 'we been good.'

Totally electric, totally present at every turn, king of your kingdom even if that kingdom is a miserable 4x4 prison cell.' 'What a fantastic play. I hope you guys take it to New York,' he went on. 'And I hope this is the beginning of your work on stage and not an anomaly !! Timothée.' Shia replied to the email the following day, writing: 'Thank you doggy, Every blessing to you, Fun watching you evolve, Take ownership, Bang bang.'

Shia LaBeouf says ‘Timothée Chalamet is doing better work than anyone alive' as he puts an end to all rumours with him
Hollywood star Shia LaBeouf took to social media on Monday to dispel any notion of animosity between himself and fellow actor Timothée Chalamet, following recent remarks that drew comparisons between the two actors. He shared a screenshot of what looked to be a warm and encouraging email from Chalamet, dated October and titled Electric. In it, Timothée praised Shia's performance in the play Henry Johnson, staged at Los Angeles' Electric Lodge. 'Absolutely blown away by your work the other night,' Timothée wrote. 'What a fantastic play. I hope you guys take it to New York. And I hope this is the beginning of your work on stage and not an anomaly!' he added. Shia responded with a message styled like free verse: 'Thank you doggy, Every blessing to you , Fun watching you evolve, Take ownership, Bang bang.' Alongside the exchange, Shia also added his own caption: 'Timothée Chalamet is doing better work than anyone alive — we been good.' He also included a line from Rudyard Kipling's poem If: 'If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken, twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools.' The post follows an interview Shia gave to The Hollywood Reporter last week, where he reflected on Timothée's recent SAG Awards speech. 'I'm really in pursuit of greatness,' Timothée had said. 'People don't usually talk like this, but I want to be one of the greats.' LaBeouf, who has long walked the line between acclaim and controversy, related to the sentiment: 'I hear Timothée Chalamet get up and he says something like, 'I want to be great.' I so know the feeling. On him, it's cute. On me, it wasn't cute. You know what I'm saying?'
