The Physicality of Turistas Compared to Michael Bay’s Transformers: “Different. I mean, that was tough in its own way, too, because he demands a lot, too. Both these guys are similar in that way. They demand a lot from you, and you gotta come ready to play. That was different in the sense that it was a lot of heat, and we had a lot of equipment and stuff on, and carrying big, heavy guns, and running through the sand. But you know, similar, but not that same.”

Was Transformers a Physically Painful Experience?: Shia LaBeouf said he went through hell working on Transformers. Did Duhamel share the same experience? “Yeah, I guess.

He didn't have to carry a big gun, though. He just had like his jeans and a sweat top and tennis shoes. We had like full army gear the whole time. But he worked. He's the lead of the movie. He's the one who was there more than anybody. It's definitely a pretty taxing movie, too.”
The Rumors of Transformers Reshoots: “Not yet. I'm sure there will be at some point. They'll probably have to pick up some stuff, but I don't know of anything yet.”

Michael Bay the Prankster: Bay’s known to pull off a joke or two on his cast and crew. “He didn't get me, but he did do some stuff to people,” said Duhamel. “It's like he's known for just being like... He wants everything sort of at his fingertips all the time. Like we're downtown LA and he's got people going from one end of the street to the other end of the street, crew was like pushing carts and getting cameras. ‘Okay, shoot this here. Go here. I want to get this here.’ End of the night, he's like, ‘Okay everybody, we need to get this last shot down here! I want A and B cameras down here! We're going to be shooting this way! I want to light it like this! Get everything lit, we're going to be shooting...Set up the stuff to come down here. The explosion's going to come down here. Blah, blah, blah.’ So they're like, ‘F**k, we've got 15 minutes, 20 minutes left before we're wrapping.’ And everybody gets down there, [and he says,] ‘Just kidding! That's a wrap!’ Like he thinks it's hilarious, and the crew so wanted to kill him! (Laughing) He's great though, I gotta say. He was a pleasure to work with - for the most part.”

The Robots of Transformers: Duhamel has seen them. “I have. I've seen a little bit of it cut together. It's wicked. It's going to be cool. They say it's going to be more photo-real than any sort of stuff of this type that's been done. So we'll hope!”

I applaud Duhamel's attitude!

I have to say, I really appreciate Duhamel's attitude in that interview. He didn't dog LaBeouf for being a panty waist. He also didn't gripe about the tough shots. Granted it may have been physically demanding. However, you've gotta give the guy props for being a professional and not wearing his heart on his sleve for the interview. LaBeouf should take some lessons!
