Actor Shia LaBeouf drew attention following an incident in Rome, Italy, where he was reportedly seen moving through a hotel lobby wearing only his underwear while asking bystanders for a match to light a cigarette, as reported by Fox News.
LaBeouf, 39, was captured in video footage obtained by TMZ during the incident. In the clip, the actor is seen shirtless with a cigarette in his mouth as he approaches people inside the hotel.
“Come on bro, gimme a f**king match. You got a match?” LaBeouf asked.

The incident comes after a recent legal matter involving the actor. Last month, a judge ordered LaBeouf to return to drug and alcohol rehabilitation following charges tied to an alleged altercation in New Orleans earlier this year.
Authorities said the incident occurred on Feb. 17 on the 1400 block of Royal Street. According to the New Orleans Police Department, officers responded at approximately 12:45 a.m. after two male victims reported being assaulted.
Police said LaBeouf was “causing a disturbance and becoming increasingly aggressive at a Royal Street business” before the alleged altercation escalated.
When a staff member attempted to remove him from the establishment, LaBeouf allegedly struck the individual multiple times.
