The clip, in which the actor challenges a pal to slap him around the face, has since been pulled from the website.

"He regrets having used the word in any capacity and is very embarrassed that this footage is being seen by anyone."

The trespassing charges were dropped and LaBeouf pleaded guilty to the illegal smoking charges and was ordered to pay a $500 (?250) fine.
