Shia LaBeouf Twitter Fight: Actor Bows Out of Jim Carrey Feud, Says He's Not Famous
Shia LaBeouf has continued, and quickly ended, his feud with Jim Carrey via none other than his seemingly preferred outlet, Twitter.
Last night at the 2014 Golden Globes Awards, Carrey took a little jab at LaBeouf, who has recently been caught up in a plagiarizing controversy.
"Dying is easy. Comedy is hard. I believe it was Shia LaBeouf who said that. So young, so wise," Carrey said jokingly while presenting an award.
LaBeouf, 27, took to Twitter to offer Carrey, 51, his rebuttal.
"If you explain @JimCarrey you've killed him, Nobody knows if it's for real or not. That way he's immortal," the Transformers actor tweeted early this morning.
About two hours later, LaBeouf uploaded a music video from Carrey's daughter's band, The Jane Carrey Band, and gave his assessment of Carrey as a father.
"At least I don't get arrested for indecency on major LA highways! Or abandon love child's," LaBeouf said according to E!.
The offensive tweet, however, has since been deleted, and LaBeouf has already changed his tune.
"Jim Carrey states that he is deeply involved in his daughter's life - I accept that, regret tweet on the matter. Apologies to both parents," LaBeouf said via Twitter an hour after uploading the music video for "Simple Beauty."
LaBeouf seems to have some fascination with 26-year-old Jane Carrey as she is the only person the former child star follows on Twitter. LaBeouf perhaps does not follow any other stars because he no longer wishes to be in the spotlight.
"I AM NOT FAMOUS ANYMORE," LaBeouf said immediately after his apologetic tweet to Carrey.
On Jan. 10, LaBeouf told Twitter that he would no longer be a public figure.
"In light of the recent attacks against my artistic integrity, I am retiring from all public life," he said. "My love goes out to those who have supported me...#stopcreating."
The actor came under heat after it was revealed in December that he plagiarized his short film, HowardCantour.com. LaBeouf admittedly stole materials from Daniel Clowes' graphic novellas.
Of course, the actor apologized through a series of tweets:
"Im embarrassed that I failed to credit @danielclowes for his original graphic novella Justin M. Damiano, which served as my inspiration. I was truly moved by his piece of work & I knew that it would make a poignant & relevant short. I apologize to all who assumed I wrote it."
"I deeply regret the manner in which these events have unfolded and want @danielclowes to know that I have a gret respect for his work...I f-ked up."
