Were Shia LaBeouf And Harrison Ford Stoned To the Bone While Shooting 'Indy 4'?
Posted by Molly Friedman at 5:25 AM on April 9, 2008
As if George Lucas' forewarning that Indy 4 just won't be all that great weren't enough to lower our expectations, now we learn that heir to the throne Shia LaBeouf filmed most of his scenes while injured. As the star told MTV News, "I pulled a rotator cuff in my hip...because the injury got worse and worse while filming, I pulled my groin also." And not only did Shia gimp his way through scenes, recent reports suggest that he may have been high as a kite while filming. A recent blind item suggests Harrison Ford and his Mini-Me made a habit out of puffing the green dragon in Shia's trailer and even had code names for being stoned.
In today's Rush & Molloy, we learn that one male blockbuster duo holed up in the younger star's trailer between scenes puffing away:
"Which A-lister toked up with his younger co-star during filming of their megablockbuster? The duo, along with the youngster's dad, smoked pot in the star's trailer, causing the crew to create a code name for when they were stoned."Words like "megablockbuster" coupled with the fact that Shia's already outed his dad as a former drug dealer can only lead us to the Indy 4 set. But taking his groin problem into account, maybe Shia was simply partaking in a Snoop-approved dose of medical marijuana. Ford's excuse? Well all that growling and frowning he's been doing in his later years must have really put his jaw in painkiller hell. Perhaps pot is the only ticket to putting a smile on Ford's face these days.

What's the DL on Shia? Is his sense of entitlement perhaps as big as his trailer?

Maybe this was just for the sake of method acting? I mean Indian Jones is, after all, an aging ivy-leaguge anthropology professor, and Shia's charachter is some sort of 60's beat-nick biker kid...

This explains John Cho, of "Harold and Kumar" fame, showing up in a brief cameo as the adult Short Round who is now simply known as Master Kush.

@pureblarney:
i worked with him on a project not too long ago. he's a cool motherfucker. i was really impressed with how professional and courteous he was. and humble. i mean, he's a total kid and likes to fuck around and talk about immature / gross stuff like the next 20 year old, but then when it comes to the work part he's the consummate professional. and he's talented on top of that.
no, i'm not Shia's manager

That's actually good to know, since I'll most-likely be stoned when I see it!

@Al_Pastor: in interviews, also, he seems really nervous and uncomfortable with his fame, which is always a good sign.

HF is one of the bigger stoners in H'wood. Never once has it affected his performance onscreen.

As fun as this story is folks, I've heard "straight from the horse's mouth" that this is absolutely, completely untrue.

@Publitor: No, but it likely affected his decision making process when choosing some of his lamer projects like SIX DAYS SEVEN NIGHTS and HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE. Oh yeah, and he turned down TRAFFIC, didn't he?

@Readsforaliving: Oh man, Hollywood Homicide. Who was the Rhodes Scholar who decided to pair two virtually charisma-free performers like Josh Hartnett and Harrison Ford together?
