Shia LaBeouf is in the VIDEO. This is a trope about the SONG. Shia LaBeouf has no part in the creation or the performance of the song.


!!Tropes associated with Shia [=LaBeouf=]:
* IAmAHumanitarian: According to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0u4M6vppCI Rob Cantor's song here]], Shia's normal evenings consist of hunting people down, killing and eating them. Occasionally he engages in epic jujitsu fights with them, too.
--> ''It's a normal [[ButForMeItWasTuesday Tuesday]] night for Shia [=LaBeouf=].''
* MoneyDearBoy: He made this apparent that this was his views of the Transformers Franchise after ''RevengeOfTheFallen.'' While he had a more positive opinion on ''DarkOfTheMoon'', he still blasted Hollywood Blockbusters as a whole.

Given he\'s in the music video for it, it counts as one of his works. I wouldn\'t mention it otherwise.

Quoting from Tom Hanks Syndrome: \"[A] successful comedian, usually a film actor, suddenly tries to play against type and stars in a big, heavily dramatic movie, playing a dramatic role and generally acting all dramatic. Oddly enough, this shift has a pretty high chance of actually working, and becoming a permanent shift in the actor\'s roles.\" This is just \"started out comedic, turned dramatic\". Either there is context missing, or it\'s just not an example. I dare say LaBeouf was never \'big\' as a comedian. The Other Wiki says his breakthrough role was in Disturbia, a thriller.


* TomHanksSyndrome: Was discovered telling dirty jokes and was cast in ''Series/EvenStevens'' in a comedic role. After that, he did more dramatic roles.

Shia Saide [=LaBeouf=] is an American actor, born in UsefulNotes/LosAngeles, California on June 11, 1986. [=LaBeouf=] got his start on the Creator/DisneyChannel sitcom ''Series/EvenStevens'' before starring in the Disney movie ''Literature/{{Holes}}'' and becoming a cinema actor. He's become a somewhat polarizing figure due to his rapid career incline being part of the ''older than him'' franchises in ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' and ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull'', but his more dramatic films have won him praise for his acting ability.

[=LaBeouf=] is a fan of rapper Music/{{Cage}}, and developed a friendship with the rapper as a result of wanting to portray him in a film biography; although the film has yet to be produced, [=LaBeouf=] has directed two things featuring Cage, including a music video for Cage's single "I Never Knew You", and the short film ''Maniac'', featuring Cage and Kid Cudi as a pair of serial killers (it's loosely based on a song Kid Cudi did with Cage, off of Cudi's album ''Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager''). In addition to this, he is friends with Music/MarilynManson and was the co-writer and director of his Born Villain [[InsistentTerminology trailer]] (which is actually set to Overneath The Path of Misery), which perhaps redefines MindScrew.

He is a frequent user of the RapidFireNo. Also known for being [[MemeticMutation a cannibal]].

!!His works include:
* ''Series/EvenStevens'' (2000-2003)
* ''Film/{{Holes}}'' (2003)
* ''Film/IRobot'' (2004)
* ''Film/{{Constantine}}'' (2005)
* ''Film/{{Disturbia}}'' (2007)
* ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' (2007)
* ''SurfsUp'' (voice) (2007)
