Shia LaBeouf could have used some protection from Optimus Prime at the SoHo Grand on Sunday night. A source tells us that when the “Transformers” star asked the hotel’s staff where he could find a “cool” soiree to attend, he was directed to the Pride Party at the Yard, an outdoor space that the Grand recently opened, where the Misshapes and Matt Kays were providing the entertainment.
Little did LaBeouf know, the celebration was chockablock with gay men who, our insider says, “swarmed” the actor when he arrived with his girlfriend. The source says the quick-thinking LaBeouf used his lady as a buffer and the two started “hard-core making out,” just in case any of the boys were getting ideas.
