> [@Sampiro](#): > > Shia Labeouf’s upcoming movie with Lars von Trier, _Nymphomaniac_, supposedly has real sex. Labeouf said in an interview he sent von Trier a sex tape of himself as part of the audition (this being shortly before his girlfriend announced their breakup). [Cite](http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2012/aug/31/shia-labeouf-sex-tape-von-trier-nymphomaniac). And he threatened to send von Trier another tape every month if he didn’t get the part. ---

It’s his involvement I object to. He’d already gone full monty in that bizarre Sigur Rós music video. The dude is way beyond weird; he was co-starring on Broadway recently with Alec Baldwin and Alec Baldwin came across as the calm and reasonable one in the papers and in interviews. When that happens, you’ve defiinitely got some issues. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-actors-really-had-sex-on-camera-in-a-non-porn-hollywood-movie/130435.md?page=3)
