Shia LaBeouf

Shia LaBeouf is an actor known just as much for his off screen antics as he is his on screen performances. LaBeouf made a name for himself as a Disney child star, starring in the series “Even Stevens” from 2000-2003 – a role for which he won a Daytime Emmy – and the 2003 film “Holes.” He’s also landed leading roles in mega-blockbuster hits “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” and “Transformers: Dark of the Moon.” In recent years, LaBeouf has become more synonymous with run-ins with the law and crazy behavior than acting credits. The actor, who identifies as Jewish, was arrested on suspicion of assault at an anti-Trump art installation in January 2017 following an alleged altercation with someone heckling him with anti-Semitic remarks. Additionally, he was put in handcuffs as a result of drunken behavior at a Broadway performance in June 2014 and has been involved in numerous bar fights over the years. LaBeouf turned heads when he wore a brown paper bag over his head at the 2014 Berlin International Film Festival that read, “I am not famous anymore.” He wore the same bag later that month for his #IAMSORRY art installation in Los Angeles after admitting he plagiarized Daniel Clowes’ work for a short film. LaBeouf claims he was raped during this installation. The actor also asked for forgiveness by hiring a skywriter to write “I am sorry Daniel Clowes” on January 1, 2014. In November 2015, the actor put on another performance art piece he coined #ALLMYMOVIES, in which he live-streamed himself binge watching every single movie he’s starred in. Born on June 11, 1986, LaBeouf grew up as an only-child in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. His family was poor and dressed up as clowns in an effort to make money as pushcart vendors. His father was a Vietnam veteran turned stage dad and his grandfather was a Holocaust survivor. LaBeouf’s parents divorced in 1996, at which time he hit the stand-up circuit at age 10. He soon landed an agent and got acting jobs to support his family financially. LaBeouf married wife Mia Goth in October 2016 in an Elvis-themed wedding, which he says the Las Vegas chapel accidentally live-streamed for the world to see. The couple met on the set of “Nymphomaniac: Volume 2.”
