AceShowbiz - Shia LaBeouf's seemingly peaceful time in Scotland took a stormy turn with a public altercation that went viral on social media. A video emerged showing him involved in an altercation outside a pub in Edinburgh.

The Hollywood actor, 38, was caught on camera hurling an expletive-laden rant at a group of men near the OX184 bar. "Let's go, I'm right here, m**********r!" he yelled during the altercation while being held back by two other males.

Following the incident, Shia shared a cryptic message on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Papa was a clown," he wrote in the since-deleted post.

The commotion occurred while Shia was in Scotland to support his wife, Mia Goth, who is filming for the upcoming "Frankenstein" movie. Over the past week, the couple has been seen in both Edinburgh and Glasgow, enjoying their time together between the filming schedule.

According to reports from The Sun, Shia was hitting the Whistlebinkies pub the night before the altercation. A bar worker praised him, "He was in there on the Friday. He was nothing but nice to people in there. Everyone said he was nothing but lovely."

The source added, "Apparently, the stuff that happened in the video was the day after. I knew something had kicked off, but something kicks off in the Cowgate every day."

Shia LaBeouf and Mia Goth tied the knot in 2016, but their marriage has seen its shares of ups and downs. The couple separated in 2018 but reconciled two years later in 2020. They welcomed their first child, a daughter, in 2022.

LaBeouf's career has been marred by legal troubles over the years. He has faced charges ranging from petty theft to assault including a lawsuit by ex FKA twigs. However, in recent years, the actor appears to have tried staying out of the headlines. "Fatherhood has helped him stay humbled and rooted," said his friend, Brother Alex Rodriquez.

The Edinburgh incident brings a different dynamic to Shia's narrative, suggesting that old habits might be hard to shake. Whether it's the pressure of public life or unresolved personal issues, LaBeouf's controversial nature continues to make waves.

As the saga continues to unfold, fans and critics alike are watching closely, eager to see what the mercurial actor will do next-hopefully it will be for all the right reasons.
