Shia LeBeouf has admitted to an off-set fling with his married Transformers co-star, Megan Fox.

The actor revealed in an interview that he and Fox had taken their on-screen chemistry one step further while filing the first in the two Transformers films.

Twenty-five-year-old LeBeouf nodded in agreement when asked by Details magazine whether he had developed any romantic feelings towards Megan, before saying:

"Look, you're on the set for six months, with someone who's rooting to be attracted to you, and you're rooting to be attracted to them.

"I never understood the separation of work and life in that situation, but the time I spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can see the chemistry on screen."

However, the Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps star apparently appeared unsure when asked about Fox's relationship status at the time, repeating "I don't know" a reported 12 times:

"I don't know, man. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. It was what it was."

Shia played Samuel Witwicky opposite Megan's Mikaela Banes in the first two films in the Transformers saga.

Fox was replaced by Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in the latest movie, Dark Side of the Moon.

She began dating Beverly Hills, 90210 star Brian Austin Green on and off in 2004, before the pair got married in 2010.
