LaBEOUF: `I’M NOT INDIANA JONES JR’
LATEST: Actor SHIA LaBEOUF has laughed off reports he has been cast as HARRISON FORD’s son in the much-anticipated INDIANA JONES 4, and insists NATALIE PORTMAN is a better pick as the movie adventurer’s kid.
The I, ROBOT star admits he was stunned when internet reports suggested he had landed the role of Jones’ son, partly because, as a fan of the film franchise, he’d prefer it if his hero had a daughter.
Of the rumour linking him to the film, LaBeouf tells MTV News, "It’s a fun rumour..
. but I don’t have a deal on the table, I haven’t signed up for anything
. As an actor, you hear those kinds of things all the time.
"Before me, they were saying HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN was going to be that guy, and then they were going to have a daughter, who was Natalie Portman.
"Wouldn’t it be cooler if it was a daughter? I think that the interaction between, like, let’s say it was Natalie Portman and Harrison Ford, having to deal with a woman; it could be fun to see him taking pointers from a woman." But LaBeouf isn’t ruling out the possibility he could be Indiana Jones’ kid: "Anybody on this planet would love to be in Indiana Jones
. It’s one of those things that’s historical
. If it happens, I think it would be amazing."
