Christian Slater says Shia LaBeouf is a lovely guy

Shia LaBeouf was missing at the premiere of “Nymphomaniac” at MoMA Thursday, but the actor, who bizarrely wore a bag on his head at the movie’s Berlin debut, was praised by his co-stars.

“Shia is a lovely guy,” Christian Slater told us. “I absolutely love him.”

Later, at the racy film’s party at Butter in Midtown, newlywed Slater and wife Brittany Lopez were looking cozy in a booth. Also there were Stellan Skarsgard, Uma Thurman, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Stacy Martin.
