Shia LaBeouf is apologizing for the humiliating several-year-old video that is being circulated around the Web recently, wherein he provoked a friend to slap him by calling him a "faggot."

The film shows Shia laughingly provoked a friend to slap him by calling him the homophobic slur. Although all was done in good spirit and everyone in the footage was laughing along, a rep for the 21-year-old "Indiana Jones" star says he is embarrassed by the new viral video.

The rep tells eonline.com exclusively: "The videotape that is currently being circulated is several years old and captures Shia playing a game among friends in which he uses a derogatory word toward a friend."

"He regrets having used the word in any capacity and is very embarrassed that this footage is being seen by anyone."
