Mario Licato got punched in the face in New York City recently and his attacker told him that he punched him in the fact because he looks like Shia LeBouf. Shia heard about the story so he got in touch with Mario and was nice enough to leave him a positive message on his voicemail.
It gets weirder. A black eye and a few stitches later, Licato received a voicemail. From Shia LeBeouf. On his work phone. Licato doesn’t even know his work phone number. Labeouf was even kind enough to remind Licato about said voicemail on his Instagram account.
Here’s what the voicemail said, in Licato’s words:
“It was a pretty long voicemail. He was like, ‘Hey, this is Shia LaBeouf … I just read an article that you were punched in the face because you look like me?’ And he was like, ‘Aw, man. That sucks. I’m so sorry. But I get it. It’s happened to me before.’And then he was like, ‘I don’t know. I wish I was in New York. I’d come bring you soup.’ He was just like, ‘This sucks. I don’t even know what to say. I’m sorry. People are just crazy. Just because you look like me?’ I was obviously laughing the whole time. And then he was like, ‘Here’s my phone number. Don’t give it to anybody. Please, please, call me back. Call me back if you want to. We could chat. Let’s giggle over this. Maybe there’s a silver lining in all this. But call me back.’ And then he was like, ‘And once again, this is Shia LaBeouf, the guy you got hit for looking like. And yeah, man, I’m sorry. I’m just really sorry.’ And he was like ‘Keep your head up, G.’ And that was it.”
Licato plans to call back and “giggle over” the whole thing with LaBeouf, but not until he’s relaxed and had a glass of wine to let everything sink in. Regarding what his response will be, he says it’ll probably be something along the lines of “Maybe he just really hated you sitting in the movie theater for three days straight watching your own movies?”
What a bizarre world we live in.
