A change of course
Before acting, LaBeouf performed stand-up comedy at The Improv starting at age 10, with material he described as having a 50-year-old mouth on a 10-year-old kid.
A change of course
LaBeouf located an agent by looking in the Yellow Pages, and the agent took him on after he pretended to be his own manager.
A role that slipped away
In February 2013, LaBeouf withdrew from Orphans, the Lyle Kessler play that would have marked his Broadway debut. He blamed "creative differences" with Alec Baldwin, but Baldwin and The New York Times say he was fired.
Behind the camera
The video for "I Never Knew You," a single by American rapper Cage, was directed by LaBeouf, who first took on that role in February 2009.
A first
LaBeouf's 2015 performance art piece #Introductions included a motivational speech segment that became the "Just Do It" meme and the most searched GIF of 2015.
