Key passage from Rebecca Keegan's article on Shia LaBeouf:
The same impulsiveness that inspired LaBeouf to ball his fists [recently in a fight with a heckler in a Sherman Oaks bar] has also driven him to say some professionally reckless things, including telling reporters at the Cannes International Film Festival last year that he was unhappy with the fourth "Indiana Jones" movie.
LaBeouf says he has been warned by people he respects — including Spielberg — to watch his words in public and smooth some of his rough edges.
"The way Steven described it to me was, 'When Tom Cruise walks outside his house, he doesn't pick his nose. From the minute he leaves his door to the minute he comes back home, he doesn't pick his nose.' Now that's a certain way to live your life that I have no ambitions toward."
As an example of what Gore Vidal calls "The United States of Amnesia", Spielberg apparently forgot whatever dismay and anger he likely had when Cruise jumped up-and-down Oprah Winfrey's couch and rumbled with Matt Lauer on the TODAY show.
All of this occurred when Cruise was doing the media circuit to promote his starring role in Spielberg's WAR OF THE WORLDS remake.
But at least it wasn't literal nose-picking.
