As some may remember Shia was involve in car accident last July . The accident left his left hand nearly paralyze.
EW interview with Shia
When the accident occurred:
It took moments for Shia LaBeouf's Ford truck to flip over during a wee-hours-of-the-morning car accident last July in West Hollywood. But nearly nine months later, the damage to LaBeouf's left hand, so badly crushed that one finger had no bone left in it, still hasn't entirely healed. LaBeouf now says it probably never will. During an exclusive interview with EW about the hotly anticipated June 24 sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the 22-year-old star reveals that he expects to get back only "about 80-something percent" of his left hand's dexterity.
Though LaBeouf was not to blame for the accident, which according to published accounts occurred when another driver allegedly ran a red light, the actor refused a breathalyzer test at the scene and was charged with a misdemeanor DUI. In late September, the L.A. County D.A.'s office declined to prosecute LaBeouf, citing a lack of evidence, but in January, his driver's license was suspended for one year. (That's a virtually automatic consequence for anyone who refuses blood-alcohol-level testing after an accident.) A few hours after the crash, LaBeouf underwent a four-hour, early-morning surgical procedure on his left hand. A few weeks later -- against the advice of at least one doctor, LaBeouf says -- the actor returned to the Transformers set with a specially designed prosthetic bandage that had to be rewritten into the plot line. Additional surgery was postponed till after the film wrapped.
In his interview with EW (after the jump), LaBeouf talks about his recovery, another potentially calamitous accident that happened on the set, the advice he got from his former costar Harrison Ford, and how it felt to have the fate of the $200 million Transformers sequel hang on him.
