Shia LaBeouf
Shia LaBeouf, the American actor and filmmaker born in 1986, walked the red carpet at the Berlin Film Festival on the 9th of February 2014 in a tuxedo with a brown paper bag over his head. Across the bag were written the words "I am not famous anymore." The stunt caused an immediate controversy. It also hinted at something larger. A former Disney Channel child star was beginning to treat his own celebrity as material for art. How does a poor kid from Los Angeles end up at the center of a blockbuster franchise, and then at the center of a very public unraveling? What did he create, what did he borrow, and what did he say he found along the way? This documentary follows those questions.
Shayna Saide made visual art, designed jewelry and danced. Jeffrey LaBeouf worked as a professional clown. Their only child, Shia, was born in Los Angeles on the 11th of June 1986.
Money was the constant problem in Echo Park, where the family lived poor and his mother earned a living selling fabrics and brooches. LaBeouf has called his parents "hippies" and described them as "pretty weird people, but they loved me and I loved them." Financial strain eventually ended the marriage. At one point an uncle planned to adopt the boy, because, in LaBeouf's telling, "they had too much pride to go on welfare or food stamps." To cope with the divorce, he performed for relatives and imitated his father.
When he was around ten, his father was in rehabilitation for heroin addiction and his mother was, in LaBeouf's words, "trying to hold down the fort." During that period he has said he overheard a stranger rape his mother in their home.
At twelve, he moved in with his father, who served as his on-set guardian while he filmed a television series. He went along to the father's Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. He has also said his father once pointed a gun at him during a Vietnam War flashback. LaBeouf still supports his father financially, as he did his mother until she died of heart failure in August 2022.
His schooling included the 32nd Street Visual and Performing Arts Magnet and Alexander Hamilton High School in Los Angeles, though tutors supplied most of his education. Looking back, he has said he feels grateful for that childhood while counting some of its memories as scars.
At age ten, LaBeouf began performing stand-up at The Improv, a Los Angeles comedy club. He later described his act as "disgustingly dirty," delivered by "a 50-year-old mouth on the 10-year-old kid." Comedy had started as an escape from a hostile neighborhood. He found an agent through the Yellow Pages and won representation by pretending to be his own manager. By his own account, acting was a response to his family being broke, an idea he picked up from a child actor who owned things he wanted.
His film debut came in The Christmas Path in 1998. Then came Louis Stevens, the title character's brother in the Disney Channel series Even Stevens, which ran for 65 episodes between 2000 and 2003. The role brought Young Artist Award nominations in 2001 and 2002 and a Daytime Emmy Award in 2003. LaBeouf has said he grew up on that show and calls being cast the best thing that happened to him.
Praise followed for the film Holes in 2003. In 2005 he played Chas Kramer opposite Keanu Reeves in Constantine, and voiced Asbel in the Disney-produced English dub of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. He also played golfer Francis Ouimet and, in A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints in 2006, a younger version of the writer Dito Montiel.
Disturbia reached theaters on the 13th of April 2007. LaBeouf played a teenager under house arrest who suspects his neighbor of being a serial killer, a part he considered "character-driven." The Buffalo News wrote that he "is able to simultaneously pull off the character's anger, remorse and intelligence." The next day, the 14th of April 2007, he hosted Saturday Night Live. He returned to host again on the 10th of May 2008.
In the 2007 science fiction film Transformers, opposite Megan Fox, he played Sam Witwicky, a man caught between the Autobots and the Decepticons. The film did well at the box office and launched a franchise. In Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008, he played Mutt Williams, the hero's greaser son. A Salon critic found him "appealing enough" and said he "sensibly keeps his performance as low-key as possible." LaBeouf told the Los Angeles Times that he felt he "dropped the ball" on the character's legacy. Eagle Eye followed on the 26th of September 2008. In 2010, he played an ambitious trader in Oliver Stone's Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. The Hollywood Reporter listed him among young actors positioned to become Hollywood's new "A-List."
Filming of the sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen took place in 2008, and a car accident injured his hand. Director Michael Bay and screenwriter Roberto Orci rewrote the script to protect it. LaBeouf said production lost only two days because Bay filmed second unit scenes in the meantime. Near the end of shooting, he hit a prop and needed several stitches above the eye, then resumed filming two hours later. Critics disliked the film, and he shared a Razzie nomination for "Worst Screen Couple of 2009" with "either Megan Fox or any Transformer." Transformers: Dark of the Moon arrived in June 2011, drew poor reviews, and became the tenth film to gross over $1 billion. It was the last Transformers film he starred in.
LaBeouf's first work as a director was the short film Let's Love Hate in 2004. His more visible directing came in February 2009, when he made the video for "I Never Knew You," a single by rapper Cage from the album Depart from Me. It was shot in Los Angeles and included cameos from Cage's label-mates at Definitive Jux. Through Cage, LaBeouf met the rapper Kid Cudi.
The three men later made Maniac, a 2011 short film inspired by a Kid Cudi song of the same name from the 2010 album Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager. Cage and Kid Cudi starred, and LaBeouf directed. He also directed Cudi's video for "Marijuana," filmed at the 2010 Cannabis Cup.
Print was another outlet. Through the publisher The Campaign Book, LaBeouf produced three short graphic novels, including Stale N Mate and Cyclical, and a webcomic series called Cheek Up's. In April 2012, he promoted them at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo.
On the 17th of December 2013, he posted his short film Howard Cantour.com online. Bloggers quickly noticed its close resemblance to Justin M. Damiano, a 2007 comic by Dan Clowes, the creator of Ghost World. Wired journalist Graeme McMillan counted at least three similarities, including an identical opening monologue.
LaBeouf removed the film and said he had been "inspired" by Clowes. He apologized on Twitter, writing, "In my excitement and naiveté as an amateur filmmaker, I got lost in the creative process and neglected to follow proper accreditation." Clowes answered that he had never spoken to or met LaBeouf and added, "I actually can't imagine what was going through his mind." The A.V. Club noted that the apology itself appeared to have been lifted from a 2010 post on Yahoo! Answers.
Scrutiny spread to his books. News outlets reported that two of his graphic novels had been plagiarized from Benoît Duteurtre's The Little Girl and the Cigarette and from Charles Bukowski's Assault. In January 2014, he told Rich Johnston of Bleeding Cool that he saw copyright law as too restrictive, since it blocked ideas from flowing freely.
He then tweeted a description of his next project, Daniel Boring, a nod to Clowes's comic David Boring. That description was copied word for word from Clowes's own. Clowes's attorney, Michael Kump, sent a cease-and-desist letter to LaBeouf's attorney, and LaBeouf posted the letter on Twitter himself.
Luke Turner, the British author of The Metamodernist Manifesto, and the Finnish artist Nastja Säde Rönkkö began collaborating with LaBeouf in early 2014. Dazed described their actions as "a multi-platform meditation on celebrity and vulnerability." The trio's list of projects includes #IAMSORRY in 2014, #Allmymovies and #Touchmysoul in 2015, #Takemeanywhere in 2016, and Hewillnotdivide.us, which ran from 2017 to 2021.
In #Iamsorry, LaBeouf occupied a Los Angeles gallery for six days, wearing a paper bag and silently crying in front of visitors. In a November 2014 conversation for the trio's #Interview piece, he said he was "heartbroken" and "genuinely remorseful and full of shame and guilt" when it began. By the end, he said, he felt cared for, and the experience was beautiful and "blew me away." He also revealed that a woman had sexually assaulted him during the February performance. Rönkkö and Turner later said they stepped in as soon as they realized it was starting.
In 2015, the trio released #Introductions, a half-hour video made with Central Saint Martins Fine Art students. It strings together short monologues that LaBeouf performs in front of a green screen. One segment, an exaggerated motivational speech, was nicknamed "Just Do It" after the Nike slogan. It went viral within days, spawned countless remixes and parodies, and became the most searched GIF of 2015, according to Google.
The internet had already made him a joke in a different way. In 2012, Rob Cantor of Tally Hall wrote a song portraying LaBeouf as a murderous cannibal. When Cantor made a video for it in 2014, the humor was deliberate, and LaBeouf turned up at the end to applaud.
In June 2012, Icelandic band Sigur Rós released a video for "Fjögur Píanó" in which LaBeouf appears nude, playing half of "a man and woman locked in a never-ending cycle of addiction and desire." The same year he played a bootlegger in John Hillcoat's crime drama Lawless.
In February 2013, he withdrew from what would have been his Broadway debut, in Lyle Kessler's play Orphans. He cited "creative differences" with co-star Alec Baldwin. The New York Times and Baldwin himself maintain that LaBeouf was fired. A month later, he appeared opposite Robert Redford in The Company You Keep. In December 2013, Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac premiered with LaBeouf as Jerôme Morris.
Fury, released in October 2014, put him alongside Brad Pitt and Logan Lerman in David Ayer's World War II drama. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called his performance "outstanding." Joe Neumaier of the New York Daily News said he "finally finds a role he can disappear into, without his image getting in the way."
In 2015, he starred in Sia's video for "Elastic Heart" with Maddie Ziegler and in the war thriller Man Down. Andrea Arnold's American Honey in 2016 gave him the male lead, Jake. Writing in Variety, Guy Lodge said that "despite the apparent stunt casting of LaBeouf," he "easily delivers his best performance here, bleeding the eccentricities of his own celebrity persona into the character to fascinating, oddly moving effect." In 2017 he played tennis star John McEnroe in the Swedish drama Borg vs McEnroe.
In 2019, LaBeouf wrote the screenplay for Honey Boy while in rehab, basing it on his life as an actor. He also played a character modeled on his father. The Peanut Butter Falcon, which premiered in March and reached audiences in August, and Honey Boy were both acclaimed. In 2020, Netflix released Pieces of a Woman, in which he starred opposite Vanessa Kirby.
His stage debut came in 2023, in the premiere of David Mamet's play Henry Johnson, as the title character's prison cellmate. In 2024, he played Clodio Pulcher, the jealous cousin of the protagonist, in Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis. He is set to star in Assassination, a thriller written by Mamet.
The documentary Slauson Rec, the debut film of director Leo Lewis O'Neil, was shot between 2018 and 2020. It follows a free acting lab that LaBeouf ran in South-Central Los Angeles as it grew into an avant-garde theatre company and then collapsed amid his increasingly volatile behavior. It premiered in the Cannes Classics section of the 78th Cannes Film Festival on the 18th of May 2025, with LaBeouf attending. He told reporters it shows "ugly and disgusting" parts of his process but said he "fully supports the release of the film."
In 2004, LaBeouf contributed an essay to Judea Pearl's book I Am Jewish. In it he wrote of a "personal relationship with God that happens to work within the confines of Judaism." His mother was Jewish and his Cajun father Christian, and he has said he was raised around "both sides." He was baptized and had a bar mitzvah, and one of the camps he attended was Christian.
By 2007, he was saying that religion had "never made sense" to him. In an October 2014 interview with Interview magazine, he reversed course. "I found God doing the film Fury," he said. "I became a Christian man … Brad Pitt was really instrumental in guiding my head through this."
In an August 2022 interview with Bishop Robert Barron, LaBeouf said he had fallen in love with the Catholic faith while preparing for the title role in Padre Pio. Part of that preparation was a stay in a Capuchin monastery. He credited the Traditional Latin Mass with playing a key role in his conversion.
In May 2023, he confirmed he was undergoing the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults. Bishop Barron confirmed him into the Catholic Church on the 31st of December 2023. It was said that he expressed a wish to enter the diaconate.
On the 26th of June 2014, LaBeouf was arrested at New York City's Studio 54 theater and charged with disorderly conduct, harassment and criminal trespass. He voluntarily sought outpatient treatment for alcoholism afterward. He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, and the other two charges were dropped.
On the 8th of July 2017, at around 4 a.m., police arrested him in downtown Savannah, Georgia, for public intoxication, disorderly conduct and obstruction. Bodycam footage showed him making "profanity-laced racial remarks" toward officers, and he later blamed his alcohol addiction. In October 2017, he pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct and was found guilty of obstruction, but not guilty of public intoxication. The sentence was one year of probation, a $1,000 fine, and therapy for anger and substance use.
In September 2020, he was charged with misdemeanor battery and petty theft over a June altercation with a man. He pleaded not guilty. A judge sent him to a diversion program in May 2021, he completed it, and the charges were dropped.
In December 2020, the singer FKA Twigs, who had dated LaBeouf from 2018 to 2019, sued him for sexual battery, assault and infliction of emotional distress. The suit also described allegations that he abused another ex-girlfriend, the stylist Karolyn Pho. LaBeouf first said he had been "abusive" to himself and those around him "for years" and was "sorry to those he hurt." He later denied the allegations. Trial dates were set for the 17th of April 2023, the 6th of November 2023, the 14th of October 2024 and the 29th of September 2025, before the case settled on undisclosed terms.
Netflix removed him from its awards campaign for Pieces of a Woman, and he took a break from acting to receive treatment. Speaking with Jon Bernthal on the Real Ones podcast in August 2022, he said he had "hurt that woman" and called himself "a pleasure-seeking, selfish, self-centered, dishonest, inconsiderate, fearful human being." Actress Margaret Qualley, who began dating him in 2020 and reportedly split from him in January 2021, told Harper's Bazaar that September that she believed Twigs's allegations.
In April 2020, LaBeouf was attached to Olivia Wilde's thriller Don't Worry Darling. In September 2020, Harry Styles replaced him. Wilde said she fired him over his "combative energy," and that Florence Pugh was uncomfortable with his behavior. LaBeouf said he quit over too little rehearsal time. In August 2022, Variety published emails and videos supporting his account. Wilde would say only that "he was replaced." Vanity Fair reported that he had pushed Wilde to choose between him and Pugh.
His marriage ran through these years. LaBeouf met British actress Mia Goth while filming Nymphomaniac in 2012. A Las Vegas ceremony on the 10th of October 2016, led by an Elvis impersonator, turned out to be a commitment ceremony rather than a legal wedding. They separated in September 2018. In 2022 they reconciled, and their daughter was born in March of that year. He said Goth "gave me hope when I was really running on fumes." They broke up in 2025.
In February 2026, police arrested LaBeouf on two charges of simple battery during Mardi Gras in New Orleans. A judge ordered substance-abuse treatment, weekly drug screening and a $100,000 bond. Police confirmed he used homophobic slurs during the incident. He said, "It was on me. It's not on them. It's on me. I messed up." In May 2026, he was formally charged with three counts of battery in New Orleans court.
