Shia Opens Up About Injury

It’s been nine months since Shia LaBeouf’s hand was mangled in an auto accident, but the actor still doesn’t have full use of his fingers.

Shia told EW about his progress. “I’ve had screws and plates put in. They put a screw in one of my knuckles. And they shaved a piece of bone off my hip and made a [bone for my] finger out of it.”

Ouch! That sounds painful. But that’s not all. “I’m on my third surgery. That’s coming up in a week or two [from April 2]. My middle finger is still crooked as a f—ing noodle, so they’ve gotta straighten it out and put a screw in it.”

Will the hand ever be back to normal? “Probably about 80-something percent. I’ll be able to make a fist again. There’s a knuckle I’ll never be able to move again, but that’s probably the only permanent damage, other than the scarring.”

While the accident was ruled to be not Shia’s fault, he had his license suspended for a year due to his refusal to take a breathalyzer test. Maybe if he hadn’t been drinking and driving that night, he’s still have both his license and full use of his hand.
