LaBeouf used Wood’s 2009 apology?

It has happened second time in a row, in the same week. On Tuesday, actor Shia LaBeouf was in the controversy over his new short film, HowardCantour.com. He caught media attention for copying nearly word for word from a comic by the famed artist-screen writer Daniel Clowes. BuzzFeed reported that Clowes had no idea that LaBeouf took his work, and is now pursuing his legal options in response.

And now, the apparently recycled apology:

LaBeouf took to Twitter to attempt another apology on Wednesday morning, and the apologies he sent out also seem lifted from very famous statements, as first pointed out by blog The Film Stage.

He wrote, “I have let my family down, and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart,” which was taken word-for-word from Tiger Woods’ 2009 apology for infidelity.

Then, LaBeouf tweeted, “I was wrong, terribly wrong. I owe it to future generations to explain why,” which former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara wrote in his memoir about the execution of the Vietnam War.

Now, an analysis of segments of comic books written and drawn by LaBeouf reveals that he seemingly took passages from other famed writers, including the late Charles Bukowsk as well.
