Shia LaBeouf (/a. lbf/ (listen)) is an American actor, performance artist, and filmmaker who was born on June 11, 1986. He was nominated for a Young Artist Award in 2001 and won a Daytime Emmy Award in 2003 for his portrayal of Louis Stevens in the Disney Channel sitcom Even Stevens. In The Christmas Path, he made his film debut (1998). He made his directorial debut with the short film Let’s Love Hate in 2004 and later directed Maniac (2011), which starred American rappers Cage and Kid Cudi.

In 2007, Shia LaBeouf starred in the box office hits Disturbia and Surf’s Up. In the same year, he was cast as Sam Witwicky, the series’ main protagonist, in Michael Bay’s science fiction picture Transformers. Transformers was a box office hit, and it was one of the year’s highest-grossing pictures. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) and Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011), both big financial blockbusters, featured Shia LaBeouf. In Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, he played Henry “Mutt Williams” Jones III.

An Inside Look at Shia La Beouf’s Career Demise Following a Sexual Battery Lawsuit

Shia LaBeouf’s career was on the rise just a year ago. LaBeouf landed a coveted role in the upcoming thriller “Don’t Worry Darling,” the highly anticipated follow-up to Olivia Wilde’s directorial breakout, “Booksmart,” after being widely praised for his autobiographical film “Honey Boy,” which he wrote and starred in, and the indie drama “The Peanut Butter Falcon.”

Before arriving at New Line, the film was buzzing around town, triggering a massive bidding war, with a slew of high-profile actors vying for the role that eventually went to LaBeouf. “Don’t Worry Darling” was a professional triumph for LaBeouf. The picture signified LaBeouf’s prospective return to a more mainstream career after a well-documented succession of legal issues and a weird timeline of erratic conduct and periods in rehab that drove many studios to distance themselves from him.

In September, though, LaBeouf was officially removed from the project. Instead, due to a scheduling difficulty, Harry Styles will be filling in for him, according to studio insiders.

That wasn’t the whole tale, as it turned out. According to Variety, Shia LaBeouf has been dropped from the project. Despite the fact that filming had not yet begun when LaBeouf left, sources close to the production say he was misbehaving and his style clashed with the cast and staff, including Wilde, who eventually fired him.

For this piece, Wilde did not reply to calls for comment. The representative for Shia LaBeouf declined to comment. A New Line spokesman also declined to comment on the situation.

“He is not an easy guy to work with,” a source close to the project said, adding that LaBeouf was “off-putting” to people involved with the project, particularly Wilde, who is known for collaborating on sets and having a “zero asshole policy.”

Wilde was one of several women who supported FKA Twigs, the singer, dancer, and actor, who dated LaBeouf for about a year after meeting him on the set of “Honey Boy,” on social media last week. FKA Twigs made headlines last week after filing a shocking complaint against the actor, alleging sexual battery and drawing a graphic image of the former Disney child star, who was accused of verbal and physical abuse ranging from violent attacks to strangulation. LaBeouf is accused of purposefully infecting FKA Twigs with an STD and shooting stray dogs with a gun to get into character for his film “The Tax Collector,” according to the lawsuit.

The case has cast doubt on LaBeouf’s professional prospects, as he became known in Hollywood for publicly battling demons. It’s also brought fresh hurdles for Netflix, which will release his next film, “Pieces of a Woman,” on Jan. 7, in which he plays the husband of Vanessa Kirby’s title character, who loses her kid during a home delivery.

Following the lawsuit, Sia backed up FKA Twigs‘ allegations, tweeting, “I too have been emotionally damaged by Shia, a compulsive liar, who deceived me into an adulterous relationship while claiming to be single.” Songwriter Katy Rose, who claims she grew up with LaBeouf when they were both children in the same entertainment industry circles, has also come forward with her own claim, claiming that “he touched me aggressively at a party in the Hollywood Hills” when she was 14 years old.

After Displaying Disruptive Behavior, He Was Escorted from A Musical Performance

It’s at this point that things start to get really awful. Shia was allegedly inebriated when he arrived at a Broadway production of Cabaret in 2014 and proceeded to smoke inside the theatre, get up throughout the show, yell at the actors, and even get on stage and grab actor Alan Cumming, according to witnesses. He was detained and charged with disorderly behavior.

On Jimmy Kimmel Live, Shia described the incident, stating he was inebriated on Whisky and continued to drink after returning from Ireland. He further claimed that at the station, he slapped Cumming’s backside and spat on a police officer’s shoe. Lovely.
