Neil Patrick Harris Shia LaBeouf Jab at Tony Awards

Culture

People are already talking about the Shia LaBeouf jab Neil Patrick Harris made in his opening number at the 67th annual Tony Awards. Referencing LaBeouf's hasty departure from the show Orphans which made room for Ben Foster to take the role Harris said, "I wouldn't be here if someone hadn't passed on hosting, so special thanks to Shia LaBeouf for this opportunity."

Another jab made by Harris? Harris made fun of Tom Hooper's extreme close ups in Les Miserables asking for an extreme close up and then saying, "on Broadway we don't need extreme close-ups to prove we're singing live."
