Shia LaBeouf reportedly stormed out of a press conference at the Berlin Film Festival on Sunday after giving a bizarre answer to a question about his new film Nymphomaniac.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor walked out after fielding his first question. The nature of the question is unknown as of now, but the answer he gave was unrelated.

"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea," LaBeouf said. "Thank you very much.”
The quote is a reference to the film Looking for Eric, which wraps with footage of soccer legend Eric Cantona making that statement in 1995 following an appeal for kicking a fan.

After reciting the quote, LaBeouf promptly removed himself from the stage. The audience, which was filled with other actors such as Uma Thurman and Christian Slater, reacted with nervous laughter, Deadline.com reported.
This isn't the first incident from the actor this weekend that raised eyebrows in Berlin. Hours before, he was involved in a scuffle at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel when three men took a picture of him and LaBeouf lunged toward them. His friends reportedly intervened to stop the situation.
LaBeouf has also been in the spotlight recently for plagiarizing a comic from Daniel Clowes for his HowardCantour.com short film. He later issued a public apology on Twitter.
He has also used Twitter to proclaim he will be retiring from acting soon, noting the public lifestyle is no longer for him.
In light of the recent attacks against my artistic integrity, I am retiring from all public life.

Not to mention he has tweeted "I am not famous anymore" 21 times, starting in January and continuing through this weekend.
I AM NOT FAMOUS ANYMORE
