Sigourney Weaver once slapped Shia LaBeouf’s dad for hitting on her, the actor alleged over the weekend.
“My dad, [Jeffrey LaBeouf], has been kicked off of so many sets, dude,” the “Even Stevens” alum, 40, told 2026 Fanboy Expo attendees in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Saturday, per People.
“He hit on Sigourney Weaver one time,” the former Disney Channel star noted during a “Transformers” reunion panel. “She slapped him … on the ‘Holes’ set.”

The 76-year-old, who played Warden Walker in the movie, wasn’t the only one of Shia’s co-stars to take issue with Jeffrey.
“Lucy Liu couldn’t stand my dad,” he added of the “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” cast member. “She couldn’t stand him. But he wasn’t going nowhere, he’s my dad.”
Shia, notably, was a teenager when both movies came out in 2003.

Since Shia needed an adult supervisor on set, his dad “was just hanging out all the time, and Lucy Liu would always do these big circles around [the] trailer.”
He recalled Jeffrey “always whistling” at the Emmy winner.
Without name-dropping Liu’s fellow Angels, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore, the filmmaker called the set of the movie “bad news” in general because his “dad was fresh out of prison” and there were “all these pretty girls walking around.”
He quipped, “My dad was hitting on all three of those women all the time.”

Reps for Weaver, Liu, Diaz and Barrymore did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Jeffrey reportedly served time in prison between 1981 and 1983 for attempted rape — which he spoke to journalist Aaron Gell about for “Medium” in 2019.
“Whatever I was doing, I have no clue,” Jeffrey said at the time. “I was blackout drunk.”
Shia has had his own share of legal troubles over the years, most recently pleading guilty to three counts of battery in June after a headline-making Mardi Gras brawl.

The “Peanut Butter Falcon” star’s contentious relationship with his father is well-documented, with the dynamic being the basis of “Honey Boy” in 2019.
He, however, shared his regrets about “vilif[ying] his dad on a grand scale” — and called the notion of Jeffrey being abusive “f–king nonsense” on a 2022 “Real Ones” podcast episode.
Shia insisted, “My dad was so loving to me my whole life. Fractured, sure. Crooked, sure. Wonky, for sure. But never was not loving, never was not there. He was always there … and I [did] a world press tour about how f–ked he was as a man.”
