Back in 2013 Transformers star Shia LaBeouf made headlines for plagiarizing the comic Justin M. Damiano by artist/writer Daniel Clowes (Ghost World) in his short film Howard Cantour.com. Now, Clowes is opening up about how the incident and whether or not he forgives LaBeouf.
Daniel Clowes recently spoke with Vulture about whether or not he forgives Shia LaBeouf”
“I don’t know. No, not really. I mean, I don’t hold a grudge. I don’t think about it that much. But I don’t think what he did was really forgivable. I don’t know that it matters that much if he’s apologizing or whatever.”
Clowes went on describe just why he thinks Shia LaBeouf’s actions are unforgivable:
“I just hate the idea of anybody doing that to some young artist who couldn’t hire legal representation. I’m sort of the one guy who could deal with something like that, and it would be really possible for somebody with his amount of money and power to just crush some poor young artist if that happened to them, and I would hate to see that.
“So I don’t think it’s something that needs to be forgiven; I think it’s something that always needs to be thought of as just a horrible thing to do.”
