Shia LaBeouf Uses A Gay Slur

Indiana Jones star Shia LaBeouf has issued an apology for using an anti-gay slur in an old video that was released on YouTube Tuesday.

The actor, 22, in the video is playing a slap contest with some of his friends, and during the game, LaBeouf attempts to entice his friend to hit him by calling him a "f****t."

The videotape has since been removed from the site, but LaBeouf is apologetic none-the-less.

"The videotape that is currently being circulated is several years old and captures Shia playing a game among friends in which he uses a derogatory word toward a friend," LaBeouf's rep told E! News. "He regrets having used the word in any capacity and is very embarrassed that this footage is being seen by anyone."

This isn't the first bit of controversy the actor has had.

Last summer, he was arrested at a Walgreens in Chicago and charged with a misdemeanor count of trespassing. The charges were later dropped.
