Shia LaBeouf to have actual intercourse in upcoming film

GlobalPost

Actor Shia LaBeouf is putting it all on the line in his next film, "Nymphomaniac" and said he is willing to be filmed having unsimulated sex if requested by director Lars Von Trier, reports Extra

The "Transformers" actor was cast in the new film that follows a woman throughout her sexual life. The Danish director reportedly plans to make two versions of his film, with one being far more explicit. 

"[Von Trier] is very dangerous," he told MTV News. "He's the most dangerous dude that I've ever showed up for. I'm terrified. I'm so terrified, which is why I have to go. We'll see what happens."

"There's a disclaimer at the top of the script that basically says we're doing it for real," LaBeouf continued. "Everything that is illegal, we'll shoot in blurred images. Other than that, everything is happening."

MTV reports that "Nymphomaniac" will not be the first film to showcase actual intercourse. The 2001 film "Intimacy" from director Patrice Chéreau already broke that taboo but LaBeouf told the network that von Trier's movie will be different and said that he and the rest of the cast are prepared for anything. 

The 26-year-old actor recently bared it all in a music video for the Icelandic band Sigur Rós reports On The Red Carpet. The video for "Fjögur Píanó", shows LaBeouf and actress Denna Thomsen as a destructive couple, doing drugs, dancing and trashing a bedroom.
