Shia


Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox engaged in sexual relations while filming the first Transformers movie, the manchild admits to Details.

Things got sticky when Shia was asked if he hooked up with Megan when she was dating now-husband Brian Austin Green.

"I don't know, man. I don't know," he said, repeating the phrase 12 times in various intonations. "It was what it was," he finally said.
