Heart of Steel shows World War II from its ugliest side. Brad Pitt and Shia LaBeouf (Transformers) are exposed to it as tank crews in enemy Germany with all its filth and brutality. LaBeouf was very particular about authenticity. He just didn’t shower for four months. And was finally confronted by Brad Pitt.
On TV: Action star Brad Pitt was fed up with Shia LaBeouf’s stink
LaBeouf told Dazed in 2014:
Heart of Steel was the toughest meat I’ve ever chewed. […] I pulled a tooth slashed my face and watched horses die for days. I didn’t take a bath for four months.
The background to individual actions remains his secret. The self-destructive behavior was apparently intended to help him get a feel for his role. According to a Daily Mail source, it was her on set Hygiene that got on his co-stars’ nerves:
Shia became cautioned by several people on set, including Brad Pitt and [Regisseur] David Ayer. But he didn’t take it seriously. He ended up sleeping away from the rest of the cast in a small bed and breakfast.
It wasn’t the only time La Boeuf pushed boundaries for a role (via Cinemablend). It remains to be seen whether Herz aus Stahl will benefit from his preparation. The tough war film can be seen an intense physical experience. But maybe it’s good that we don’t have to smell it.
