Shia LaBeouf decided to make his apology for alleged plagiarism official...with sky writing.

The Transformers star was accused of plagiarizing Daniel Clowes's comic, and decided to make his apology to screenwriter and cartoonist Daniel Clowes public by writing it in the sky.

On LaBeouf tweeted a black and white photo of the sky written message that reads "I AM SORRY DANIEL CLOWES."

LaBeouf tweeted other comments before he put up the photo. "Mr. Clowes, I can only ask that you view my apology as a stepping stone toward repairing this misunderstanding between us. I'm sorry."

The actor then posted another tweet a few hours later, which appears to have been taken off his page. "I am not a biter. I'm a writer for myself and others. I steal some plot points & dialogue."

LaBeouf then continued on with more tweeted apologies, including "You have my apologies for offending you for thinking I was being serious instead of accurately realizing I was mocking you."

The actor's alleged plagiarism started when LaBeouf directed a short film called HowardCantour.com, which premiered at Cannes Film Festival. The film was about an online film critic starring Jim Gaffigan. The film appeared to show LaBeouf as an original director until Buzzfeed noticed that the film was a little too similar to Daniel Cowes's comic Justin M. Damiano.

According to A.V. Club, the film and the comic bared too much similarity mainly because they both open with an identical monologue. The film continues with more identical dialogue as well as similar visuals.

Clowes made a response saying that he had never met the actor, but was full of surprise when someone sent him a link to the film. "I was shocked, to say the least, when I saw that he took the script and even many of the visuals from a very personal story I did six or seven years ago and passed it off as his own work" Clowes said. "I actually can't imagine what was going through his mind."
