Mr May’s doorman, Robert Skuse, was not alone in his “intoxication” and was “somewhat belligerent”. LaBeouf appeared as the Bacchus Super Crew parade rolled up St. Charles Avenue, surrounded by thousands of revelers, most of them deep in their go-cups, catching “throws” and watching floats and marching bands pass by.
In the midst of the mayhem, “he did ‘Do you know who I am?’ Hey,” Skuse said. Many people recognized him and asked him to pose for the group’s Instagram, which he did. “He was very nice on Thursday,” said May’s bartender who served him that night.
