Shia LaBeouf sparked a scene at a Rome hotel this week when he appeared in the lobby wearing only his underwear. In video footage, the 39-year-old actor was seen appearing shirtless and in black boxer briefs while asking strangers for a light for his cigarette. In a short video, the actor, frustrated, is heard saying, “Come on bro, give me a f***ing match. You got a match?” Guests and hotel staff watched as he wandered the lobby, cigarette unlit, drawing a mix of confusion and concern. The incident comes amid ongoing legal troubles for the actor. LaBeouf was arrested twice in February following a Mardi Gras brawl in New Orleans’ French Quarter, facing misdemeanor battery charges. A judge later set his bond at $100,000 after allegations of homophobic slurs, though a separate misdemeanor simple battery charge carried a $5,000 bond. LaBeouf’s appearance in Rome came as he was recently granted permission to travel to Italy for his father’s baptism while out on bail.
