Shia LaBeouf: Not a Fan of Flying

When it comes to flying the friendly skies, actor Shia LaBeouf seems to prefer planes to helicopters. He was spotted at Dulles International Airport in Washington DC yesterday when he stepped outside for a smoke.

Reportedly, the “Constantine” actor had to wait on his transport from the airport, and during the lull, he go so bored, he even raced a paparazzo, emerging victorious.

But planes are pretty much the only way Shia likes to fly. After his latest film “Indiana Jones 4” wrapped, star Harrison Ford gave LaBeouf flying lessons in his private helicopter. And it didn’t go so well for the “Transformers” stud.

An insider told press, “After the film wrapped, Harrison took Shia to Burbank Airport and they took off. But by the time they had landed, Shia had no stomach for a pilot’s career. He came barrelling out of the chopper and dashed for the men’s room. He lost it. When Shia emerged Harrison asked with a mischievous glint in his eye, ‘So when is our next lesson?’”
