Njengoko kuvela, Shia LaBeouf ayingomntu uphambeneyo ngokupheleleyo - yinto eyenzekayo xa laa mfo ucatshukiswayo usithiyileyo/othandana naye ekholejini waduma. Ngokunyaniseka okumangalisayo - kodwa hayi kancinci - incoko kunye Imagazini yodliwano-ndlebe , Umdlali ophazamisayo ubetha yonke into ethi "White Guy Who Majored in [Humanities / Liberal Arts]" ibalulekileyo.
Etshaya icuba, engenahempe, uShia LaBeouf ukhuza i-Troubled White Guy Antiheroes ajonge kuyo, kubandakanya uSean Penn, indoda ephambeneyo uMel Gibson, kunye negcisa elisebenza ngobuxoki uJoaquin Phoenix. U-LaBeouf ukwakhankanya kwaye acacise konke ukuphindaphinda kwezinto zanamhlanje athe wabhalisa kuzo (i-post-, meta-), igama-ujonga ingxaki yakhe ekhoyo kunye nokuza kwakhe kuThixo, kwaye axoxe "ngokukhubeka kwiziyobisi" kwaye azifumane njengaye. uyasokola ukuba ngumntu omdala. Umlingisi wendlela ikwathetha malunga nendlela ukufunda malunga nobugcisa bokwenza obutshintshe ngokupheleleyo ubomi bakhe, bubengcono okanye bubi, kwaye utyhola imbongi ye-avant-garde uKenneth Goldsmith ngokuthanda kwakhe ukukopa - okanye njengoko ebeya kuyibiza ngokuba, "ukubhala okungenabuchule."
Xa ndahlala naye phantsi kulo Septemba uphelileyo eNew York, ngendingothukanga ukuba ebenomdla ngakumbi ekondleni i-mystique yakhe kunokuphendula imibuzo yam—ngokomzekelo, ukuba ukusebenza noLars von Trier kwahambisela phambili ingcamango yokuba nabani na ukuze enze ingqiqo kuLaBeouf kwakungcono ukumjonga nge-lens ye-ronic detachment. Kunoko, ukulangazelela komdlali we-actor ukuzichaza kwaba ngumthombo wokumangala okuqhubekayo. Kunokuba enze intlekisa, wayezimisele yaye ecinga. Ugxininiso lwakhe lwabonakala kwaye lwaguqulelwa kwimvakalelo echukumisayo yempembelelo, ngohlobo olufanayo lwemvakalelo ekrwada ayizisayo kwifilimu yakhe entsha, umbhali-umlawuli uDavid Ayer kwiMfazwe yeHlabathi yesiBini yesenzo somdlalo weqonga uFury, apho uLaBeouf esilwa ngokuzisola ngelixa esebenza njengenxalenye ibutho letanki phantsi komyalelo womlinganiswa kaBrad Pitt, uDon “Wardaddy” Collier.
U-ELVIS MITCHELL: Ukubuyela kwi-2003 ye-Battle of Shaker Heights, ndabona uvuyo lwakho malunga nezinto eziphathekayo.
I-SHIA LaBEOUF: Bendivuya nje ukuba norhwebo. Ngelo xesha, ukudibana noBen Affleck kunye noMat Damon kwakunje, "Wow." Ndisebenze noJon Voight kwiHoles [2003], kwaye wayeligorha likatata. Kodwa uBen Affleck kunye noMat Damon babengamagorha kwisizukulwana sam. Yayilinqanaba endandingacingi ukuba ndingaze ndilifikelele. Sasihlala kule "Holy shit, le nto iyenzeka kuthi" uhlobo lwento. Kwaye yayingeyonto nje eyedwa, njengokuba ndandizibambe ndodwa. Umama wayengumthengisi welaphu, utata wam wayengumthengisi weziyobisi, phakathi kwezinye izinto, kwaye bobabini bayeka ukurhweba ukuze babe ngabantu abafana ne-carnie kwaye benze le nto kunye nam. Ke ibinkulu kuthi sonke xa iProjekthi yeGreenlight [umboniso wokwenyani we-HBO, ixesha lesibini elibhalwe ukwenziwa kweShaker Heights] kwenzeka. Umama wachukumiseka kakhulu kukubona uBen Affleck ekwi-premiere. UBen yindoda ethandekayo ngokwenene. Ngumfana wokuqala owandithatha wandibeka ecaleni wandenza ndaziva ngathi ndiyakwazi.
Kodwa ukuba sinyanisekile, uShia LaBeouf ubonakala ephila ubomi oburhabaxa (wakhulela e-Echo Park “phambi kokuba kuphole”/ehluthiweyo) kwaye unemiba emikhulu katata-onokufunda kuyo yonke into yakhe. ngokucokisekileyo ukuzithethelela.
