Even when Shia LaBeouf has six number one movies in a row and a peaking career, he still likes putting down Frankie Muniz. When asked about his success on a radio program on Sept. 30 called 'The Bert Show,' LaBeouf opportunistically took a compliment and used it to tweak his longtime nemesis.
"While that's flattering as hell, you could have put Frankie Muniz into any of the movies I've been in and it would've still been No.1," the 'Transformers' actor snidely remarked.
The feud between the young actors began back in 2003 when Muniz was hitting his stride as the lead in 'Malcolm and the Middle,' and LaBeouf told EW about his feelings about the star child at the time.
"I used to see him at premieres and stuff and it would always be like he was looking down on me, and then it turned into we're equal, and then it turned into 'Oh Frankie, I know that guy,'" LaBeouf said in the interview.
The DJ then asked if LaBeouf was concerned that Muniz might hear this and come up to him at a party, and then it got nastier.
"I don't go to many parties and I don't really hang out in Frankie Muniz-type zones," LaBeouf said.
Ouch.
Muniz punched back the best way to do it these days -- through Twitter.
"Dear Shia LaBeouf, it's getting creepy the fact that you can't stop talking about me," Muniz tweeted. "It's been 12 years now. I don't know you. Thanks."
Clearly these little boys will never learn how to play nice.
