In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, LeBeouf says his hand may never heal entirely. The 22-year-old says he only expects to get "about 80-something percent" of his left hand's pre-accident abilities.
LaBeouf plans to have his third surgery soon, saying, "My middle finger is still crooked as a f---ing noodle, so they've gotta straighten it out and put a screw in it."
The star tells EW he will be able to make a fist again with his left hand, but adds, "There's a knuckle I'll never be able to move again, but that's probably the only permanent damage, other than the scarring."
He says the first voice he heard after his initial surgery was that of Harrison Ford, his 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' costar.
"Harrison [Ford] called me on the phone and said, 'Hey, are you okay?' I said, 'Yeah, I'm good.' He said, 'Well, then you need to get back to work.' I said, 'Are you serious?' He said, 'That's the way this cookie crumbles.' So I went back to work. The show doesn't stop for anybody."
LaBeouf's injuries didn't stop there. He also tells EW about injuries he sustained on the set of the highly anticipated sequel, 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.'
"This movie was the most physical thing I've ever had to do, and I had to do it with a broken hand," LaBeouf says. "It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life…Aside from my hand, I also got 25 stitches making this movie, in various parts of my body -- stuff that had nothing to do with my hand."
'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' hits theaters on June 24.
Do you think Rocco DiSpirito deserved to be out, despite the fact that Misty May-Treanor's injury saved him?
