( CNN ) -- Do n't mess with Brad Pitt 's tank . The star of `` Fury '' said that he and co-star Shia LaBeouf nearly got into it with fellow actor Scott Eastwood -- Clint 's son -- on the set of their new war movie . The reason ? Eastwood 's `` disrespect . '' `` We were driving down the road , I 'm in the turret , Shia is at the other turret , and Scott is on the back , spitting juice , '' Pitt told British GQ , Us magazine reported . `` And I 'm starting to get pissed off , I 'm starting to get hot , because this is our home , he 's disrespecting our home , you know ? So I said , in the scene with the cameras rolling , 'You 're going to clean that ( bleep ) up . ' `` LaBeouf , if anything , was even more hacked off . `` Shia saw it and felt the same -- he 's disrespecting our home . So Shia had the same reaction I did and started having some words , '' Pitt said . Tempers finally cooled and later Pitt realized something : Eastwood 's action was actually in the script . `` It said Scotty 's character is 'chewing tobacco and spitting it on the back of the tank . ' He was just doing as instructed in the script ! So we were the knobs in the end . '' Pitt said he got along well with LaBeouf , who 's been in the news recently for his eccentric behavior , including an incident at a Broadway show that led to his arrest and a trip to rehab . `` Oh , I love this boy , '' Pitt said of LaBeouf . `` He 's one of the best actors I 've ever seen . ''
