If you were born in the 90’s — no matter if you’re a guy, girl, or otherwise — Shia LaBeouf holds a special place in your heart.
Maybe you remember him as the goofy lead in Disney Channel’s Even Stevens. Or maybe it’s because Holes or Transformers was one of your favorite movies growing up. Or, you could be a rebel, and love Shia for the way he gave the finger to the entertainment industry. Or you could be a hipster and love him for his style or a hip-hop fan and appreciate him for his bars.
Whatever the reason is for your love of Shia LaBeouf, the point remains the same: the main is a national treasure and should be protected at all costs.
And all of this love for Shia came BEFORE we (at least, I) knew that he was smashing Transformers co-star Megan Fox back in the day! And how do we know this? Because Megan told us herself on a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live:
In case you need a reminder, here’s what Megan Fox looks like:
In all seriousness, in her peak, Megan Fox was as hot as hot got. Similar to 2001 Britney Spears, 2005 Jessica Simpson, 2005 Jessica Alba, 2012 Kate Upton, 2015 Emily Ratajkowski, and so on and so forth, some women hit this level that deserves to be forever remembered, and 2008 Megan Fox was one of those women.
So there you have it, whether it be getting thrown out a Studio 54 or getting arrested for public drunkenness or showing up to the red carpet with a paper bag on his head or getting Missy Elliot tattooed on his thigh or sleeping with Megan Fox in her prime, the legend of Shia LaBeouf continues to grow seemingly daily.
Plus, the dude can still act his absolute ass off. If you’ve never seen Fury (that World War II tank movie with Brad Pitt), then you know he was by far the best actor in the movie.
I don’t want to get ahead of myself here, but 2019 may be the year of The LaBeoufissance, as he has three movies coming out: The Peanut Butter Falcon, Honey Boy, and The Tax Collector.
The Tax Collector is a particularly interesting role for LaBeouf, as the film is directed by David Ayer, the dude who wrote Training Day and directed End Of Watch and Fury.
