Shia LaBeouf

It’s hardly a secret that the American military has no idea what to do with its veterans, often leaving the traumatized men to fall through the cracks due to a lack of support. As the newly released trailer for the upcoming action-drama Man Down amply shows, soldier Gabriel Drummer (Shia LaBeouf, mercifully free of his American Honey rat-tail) has more than his fair share of baggage when he returns home from an extended tour of duty in an unidentified conflict. But he’ll have to contend with more than poverty and the guilt over watching his brother-in-arms (Jai Courtney) die; turns out that while he was away fighting to protect it, America went right to hell anyway.

In a really fascinating profile published by Variety today, actor and occasional performance artist Shia LaBeouf addresses a few of the more controversial aspects of his career (his arrest, drinking problems, etc.) and discusses working with some of the biggest directors in Hollywood (Michael Bay, Steven Spielberg). But one of the most intriguing revelations from the article is that LaBeouf almost starred in Suicide Squad — until the studio (and some script changes) got in the way.

The former Transformers star was trying to get into a bar but was denied before the arrest.

If this doesn't motivate you nothing will! Thanks to the interwebs we finally have an acoustic version of the now infamous "Do It" motivational speech from Shia Labeouf. It's a beautiful heart warming video that will impact your very soul!

Shia LaBeouf's infamous motivational speech seems to have resonated with at least one person.

After Shia Lebeouf's very intense and unusual motivational speech went viral last week he keeps popping up in all kinds of movies making cameos and injecting himself into all kinds of scenes. Watch the original speech here, and if you haven't seen him in The Avengers yet watch that too. This Time Shia makes an appearance with Will Smith in a dramatic scene from 'I Am Legend.'

Well it's already happened, people are making Shia LaBeouf parodies using parts from his very unusual and intense motivational speech for his newest project #INTRODUCTIONS. If you haven't seen the original speech you can watch it here. I never know he had a cameo in the Avengers!

I'm pumped! I'm going to go out and make my dreams come true, I'm going to do it, whatever it is. This has to be one of the most intense, motivating speeches I've ever heard! Shia LaBeouf cuts through and makes contact where other motivational speakers fail.

Shia LaBeouf might be a little bit of an oddball, so if he were to all of a sudden become a murder who eats his victims, we wouldn't be surprised at all.

"He was just wasted." Shia LaBeouf's apology/explanation tour has rolled out during the past few weeks, but while the 'Fury' star has finally spoken out about his more, uh, wild times over the past year or so, there are other people involved who haven't been quite as chatty. Last night, 'Cabaret' star Alan Cumming finally righted that on 'Conan.'

For the better part of 2014, Shia LaBeouf's antics were the talk of the gossip world. Can we even call them just "antics"? There was an arrest and an art installation, after all. Things were just weird, okay? The actor seems to have recovered from whatever was addling him, and he recently hit the talk show circuit in support of his upcoming World War II film, 'Fury,' a tour that inevitably results in his having to talk about, well, everything.

Shia LaBeouf has been known to utilize some ... how should we put it? ... unconventional acting methods. While he dropped acid for 'Charlie Countryman' and sent director Lars von Trier his own sex tapes for 'Nymphomaniac,' he was all about embracing the pain for his role in David Ayer's 'Fury.'
