Shia LaBeouf has been spotted in a hotel lobby in Rome, Italy, wearing only his underwear four weeks after his arrest in New Orleans.
In a video obtained by TMZ on March 17, a shirtless and barefoot LaBeouf, 39, can be seen in just his boxers as he tries to bum a light for a cigarette he has dangling in his mouth.

“C’mon, bro... give me a f---king match. You got a match?” LaBeouf can be heard saying to those in the lobby with him. A woman in a green T-shirt then turns away, while the concierge behind the desk looks down.
PEOPLE has reached out to both a rep for LaBeouf and his attorney for comment.
In a February hearing related to his arrest in New Orleans, LaBeouf was ordered to enroll in substance abuse treatment, undergo drug testing and post a $100,000 bond as conditions of his release.
The Transformers actor then posted bond following the hearing and remains out of custody under the new terms.

During his initial Feb. 17 arrest, LaBeouf was taken into custody on two counts of misdemeanor battery following an alleged altercation at Royal Street Inn & R Bar during Mardi Gras festivities.

One of the alleged victims in the incident, Jeffrey Damnit (born Jeffrey Klein), told PEOPLE that the confrontation began around 5 p.m. on Feb. 16.
He claimed that the actor hurled homophobic slurs at the bar and then, a few hours later, when staff eventually escorted him outside, began “screaming at everybody” and “lunging at” patrons.

Damnit alleged that LaBeouf jumped at him and struck him, knocking him back. He also alleged that the actor punched a bartender in the face and claimed that several people ultimately restrained LaBeouf while waiting for officers.
An initial police report obtained by PEOPLE stated that one alleged victim was struck “in his face with a closed fist, causing his nose to possibly dislocate,” and said he “pushed his nose back into place” himself.
LaBeouf's next court appearance is scheduled for March 19.
