Content warning: This post briefly discusses alcoholism.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n One thing I love about celebs is that they\u2019re not afraid to get a little messy every now and then. However, there\u2019s throwing shade, and then there\u2019s whatever Bryan Cranston<\/a> just did in this interview.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n For context, Bryan and his Malcolm in the Middle<\/i> co-star, Frankie Muniz<\/a>, are currently promoting the show\u2019s reboot series, Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair<\/i>. And, this week, the duo sat down with Esquire<\/a> to answer some questions about their careers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n At one point in the interview, Bryan asked Frankie to name a TV or movie role he wished he hadn\u2019t passed on. This prompted Frankie to mention that he was initially set to star in the 2003 movie Holes<\/i>, which is based on the 1998 novel of the same name.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The story follows a boy called Stanley Yelnats IV, who is wrongly convicted of theft and sent to Camp Green Lake, a brutal Texas juvenile detention center, where he discovers truths about his cursed family history. Frankie explained that he was \u201c100%\u201d signed on to star as Stanley, but then the first Agent Cody Banks<\/i><\/a> movie was greenlit, and he chose to do that instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n As we all know, fellow former-child-star Shia LaBeouf<\/a> wound up taking his place in Holes<\/i>, and the starring role helped launch his movie career in the 2000s.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n With this in mind, Frankie questioned how his career might have played out differently had he chosen to do Holes<\/i> instead of Agent Cody Banks<\/i>, which prompted Bryan to make some pretty brutal comments.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cRight. You could\u2019ve ended up with Shia LaBeouf\u2019s life,\u201d Bryan said, looking right into the camera and letting out a sarcastic whistle.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cKeep that one in,\u201d he said to the producers behind the camera, before bluntly adding: \u201cShia, get some help.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Of course, Bryan’s comments are presumably in reference to Shia\u2019s troubled history with alcoholism<\/a> and abuse allegations<\/a>. This year, he has been arrested twice<\/a> already, facing three charges of simple battery stemming from altercations in New Orleans, including one incident where he was accused of using anti-gay slurs<\/a> against two men.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Last month, a New Orleans judge ordered Shia to enter rehab as well as to submit to weekly drug tests. During a recent interview<\/a>, the 39-year-old actor denied having a \u201cdrinking problem\u201d and said he\u2019s \u201cnot into\u201d the idea of going to rehab, because: \u201cI don\u2019t think my answers are there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Well, with all that context in mind, Bryan\u2019s suggestion that Shia should \u201cget some help\u201d has certainly made some waves online, with many fans left stunned by his, um, sharp delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cOh, this was way more direct than I was expecting,\u201d one Reddit user wrote<\/a>, while someone else commented<\/a> on the \u201cway he tells them to leave this part in.\u201d \u201cHe’s not wrong,\u201d added another.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.buzzfeed.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bryan Cranston Calls Out Shia LaBeouf Content warning: This post briefly discusses alcoholism.
