Shia LaBeouf is a 33 year old actor who has seemingly already had nine lives. He’s been in the spotlight since he was a kid, and he’s lived out multiple creative pursuits and existential breakdowns all in front of the public. Despite his mistakes, he’s always had a charisma and candor that is refreshing and that comes down to him seeming like a genuine person. I look at how Shia faced his troubled past through self expression.

[@JohnPedder]

I hear you, though he's not someone I'd wanna sit and talk with. He's too intense for me. He's definitely someone I'd like to head out with, as I know we'd both split up and end up meeting again some other time. On the move is cool, but sitting down? Nar, let's cruise man.

You could have at that installation he did in NY and you could sit down and stare at him.

[@flawlessmisery4899]

You're the best doing it JZ. I grew up w Shia so I relate heavy to all of this. You craft these mini docs like a tour guide; giving clear concise background info on the subject but never taking the spotlight from the actual topic. Great editing and it's clear you're making these about people you really like. Keep going man.

[@Jordan-hr3yz]

Well said and I couldn't agree with you more. I was just watching a shameful video that was trying to demonize Shia LaBeouf and other actor like him and it made me sick. I truly respect the guy and have battled with my own demons in the past, especially drinking. I couldn't imagine being uber famous and having millions of dollars at my disposal. I'd probable be dead. He's a real dude like me and you just trying to find his way in this crazy world with the platform he was given. Much respect to anyone that can come out and bear their soul like Shia does.

[@gabrielagarcia8295]

@ProseColored Glasses yea but isn't genuine tho. Her being a conservative has nothing to do with it. Politics weren't even mentioned in this video. It's all about how a man who stuggled with myself found the joy he needed and he apologized for what he did and he's Flourished man. Now weather you like his acting or even him that's on you but don't bring politics or Mr. Trump into a conversation where they don't belong.

[@scintilae670]

@ProseColored Glasses I don't get it, which part offended you?

[@alozzzy1213]

I agree. When he speaks on the work that makes his soul fulfilled (not in those words, but essentially) it makes you reflect on how many people truly are not living to their fullest. I think so many men especially, try to stay strong but in the end are weak because they never were able to fulfill their intrinsic selves.

Looks like you are. Looks like you have control. So happy for you♡. Much love and respct.

[@HillaryMarek]

Trina Corbett you're good people. This made me feel good about the world today. Thanks for the good vibes. -Hillary

[@billburgess3651]

Nice & positive blurb Trina. Coming from closely related experiences (alc/drug addictions+++), a kiss of death is to tell someone that it "looks like they have [everything] in control" - just after proving for months, years, decades that there is no situation where I will not use, if I am in control. The first thing, if you want to give yourself a chance at sobriety, is to relinquish control 100%! Period! And to keep doing that every day. Otherwise, I become the "Big Shot" again - controlling everything and everyone around me. Which means I can control my alcohol, heroin, & cocaine use. Death soon follows. Love

[@kittys.1956]

that's why you should learn about a person before laying out your criticism

[@HillaryMarek]

@billburgess sobriety starts where ego stops. You don't have to nor should you, relinquish control 100% . The truth of it is that in our addiction, we have no control. We have already relinquished it and handed our fragile human condition over to the care of a chemical Getting clean requires something not many of us are truly willing to do, and that's shut up, and trust someone. In our active addictions we take on narcissistic personality disorder traits and allow our super ego to free roam without any foresight on how to get back to our true selves. Learning how to stop trying to manipulate the world around us in every plausible situation and human connection is the key to learning how to live and thrive without the need of external influence and chemical dependency. But how to you expect a Narcissist to stop trying to fool the world? You first have to trust someone, starting with yourself. Feeling like a fraud is a very real and common root cause for many to over indulge. Maybe it's a 31 year old who drinks after work with coworkers so she can feel more adult because she still doesn't see herself as grown up and is worried that they will think she's just a kid too if she doesn't show up. Maybe it's a creative guy who has sell these thoughts and ideas but when he tries to relate what's in his mind to someone they can't grasp what he's saying so in fear of that he gets high, knowing that when he smokes meth, his ADHD riddled mind is laser focused and he can perfectly illustrate his thoughts to others. Well at first at least. Regardless of the why, we all find out in the end that on our way to find ourselves, we lost our truth, and eventually our self became our shame and nothing masks shame like an inflated ego. So we shouldn't give up control but trust that through self reflection and awareness we can regain control over our egos and learn to own our truths, forgive ourselves, accept the new while learning from the past, then with hard work and a little guidance, we can love ourselves, and accept that we are worthy of love. I am so proud of you for slaying your dragons.and staying clean. If you ever start to waver please reach out to me, you can just comment on one of my videos and I'll get back to you asap. I don't need to know you to know that you're worth it, you are. -Hillary Marek

[@trinacorbett4827]

@@kittys.1956 ... I did not actually lay out a criticism of him. In my mind I analyzed him. I was aware I didn't really know, but the way he carried himself with such confidence, I figured he had something pretty powerful backing that confidence up.

I felt envious of this as I am family scapegoat, my narcissistic mom & sister like villains... I want peace too... how can I get it when can’t make a movie? Amazing he got his Dad to approve & sign papers. Acting craft. Helped him open up make right “don’t waste your pain, it’s useful paint”.... he’s calm and surrounded by love... lovely.We living through weird time where lots of Existential time ... viable...family scapegoating authentic experience by millions everywhere...jake Zeeman thank you 🙏🙌

Love this, jake. So real and honest. So glad that Shia went thru his Robert Downey moment and came out the other side as sane and peaceful as he has. Thanks for all this info!

[@nicholaslopez4170]

I've always liked Shia because ive always been an outsider. Being a kid in small towns in nc, I had no friends. I did and their parents realized my last name was Lopez and for some reason that makes you a 10 year old criminal. But I started being around "different" people. Got arrested several times for silly joking stuff like lazers and running away, drug selling conspiracy. When I was 14 I finally got out of there my drunk ass dad got me. He was in the military so we traveled everywhere and couldn't fit in with those shitty kids so same thing basically everywhere graduated and joined the military with a massive alcohol problem, I went to work everyday on time, every nco can tell you I was one of their greatest soldiers till I got off on the weekends and I thought yeah I'm here I guess drinking is the way to go that's what you do. But it wasn't and I got in massive amounts of trouble dui, fighting. And sent to rehab before I got kicked out. That entire experience, even though I failed the military, was probably the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. I needed that failure, I was good at what I did in the military I made more money and everything there but I was insanely unhappy and I don't ever want to be there again and after that a few years went by had an amazing kid and learned it's my time to give this little girl the life and love I never had, I haven't drank in years I didn't realize I how insane it made me until I had to go to jail for a night for destroying property because I was trying to do the right thing but in a insane way. That's a whole nother story on it's own. I still don't have any friends but I have an amazing wife and little girl who I hope to see do amazing things knowing she will have me no matter what. Idk where I was going with this at all I thought it was going somewhere, but I guess its just a thing to try and lett out my pain good day.

[@tamsynfallows3234]

I love the opening sentences to this video… I do exactly the same, and have never really thought about the fact that it's a big part of "falling for an artist" and that that's something a lot of us do. Have been really going in and fully falling for Shia the last week or so, and binge watching interviews with him, so this is a perfect opening to the video.

[@tamsynfallows3234]

What I mean is you have managed to articulate something and make note of something that I do a lot but I have never thought of all put into words so clearly… I listen to music or watch music videos of someone and then I end up going straight in and watching interviews with them, a friend of mine said does this, but I do it all the time. I've never thought about the fact that what I'm doing when I'm going to watch those interviews is learning more for the sake of really falling for the artist in question. It's cute to think we all do that, I love the idea that you can feel such a strong connection with someone you've never met... it's like it's something real and deep, and just a sweet form of escapism all at the same time.

This was an amazing short, documentary. I have been reviewing and studying Shia for the past few weeks (let alone years) and I have grown to truly and unconditionally love him.

[@charlyteenmacias9767]

Shia is so beyond his years even before he really knew it due to the fact that he was overwhelmed with stress and loneliness he just needed to hit rock bottom to decide to show the world who he really is. Although, he's always been a honest, sincere, truthful personality sense we seen him on TV. I've always admired him sense he was in his TV series and first movie he did amazing a natural it's sad when we cannot even express our feelings and love what we love when there's pressure and stress it makes you find a different outlet but then you get stuck in it all and forgetting that what you love is stilll an outlet but that we still need better surroundings of people and support to make it easier to evolve in what we love

Shia had always been one of my most favorite souls 🦄🌈🧚🏻‍♂️🌻 Thank you for making this video and the effort you put into understanding people. I honestly love this ❤️

I cried like....7 times the 1st time I watched "Honey Boy" and then binged clips from his younger projects and cried even more the next time I watched it. He's always been a favorite of mine, my sister is 12 years my junior and introduced me to him in 2002. So brave, generous, brilliant his process and what he's offering us.

[@CamilaPradaTV]

I really like how you mix in your thoughts and how Shia's journey affected you. Great video!

[@xburtonboardnx]

He's so brilliantly genuine.

Brother, I'm so glad I've found your channel. Everything you put out is so damn perfect. The product, the music, your voice, everything just meshes so well, I get emotional at times for these people because of the way you present them in these videos. Plus you always choose such awesome people to do these on, so thanks for all you do.

He comes from a very strange family, and was raised that way.....so it's all he knows! He does have attitude, and that has cost him alot. But, all in all, he is an acting genius! Overflowing with talent! Needs to mature more, but, I think hes on that journey, where he learns as he goes! After all, the really smart ones, always have a unique and interesting life! Shia does!

[@S0m0neRand0m]

shiiiiiiiiiiit... I've been all goose bumps for two minutes, what an intense stare and clap was that by Shia(in the introduction). One of my favorite actors... He still is

[@ariadnahernandez7657]

I´ve been watching this documentaries ALL day long. They´re crazy good!!! We need more!!

[@hooded2348]

Have you ever considered putting these mini-documentaries on spotify as a podcast? I feel as though they would work strongly.

[@LCROSIER97]

Shia is definitely one of my favorite celebrities too. Love your video essays. Thanks for the great content.

And he can freestyle, spit and flow. Sway in the morning

Great piece on Shia, my fave actor. I see an Oscar in his future.

[@erikadowdy686]

Im learning a lot from this He’s actually an awesome individual. Just with anger management problems- join the club! Everybody has something wrong- to be human❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕

[@chloewalker6623]

Holes was one the best movies he ever did, I still watch it to this day as an adult and adore it just as much. Shia seems like he feels everything, like his complexities have complexities themselves. I think that’s why I’ve always found him so fascinating.

[@torstenthenord]

Shia Labeouf is a badass. Loved seeing him on screen ever since I was a young kid. And to see him be so natural in his recent interviews and how he carries himself authentically... that's something you don't see in many people these days at all. I also love the jazz rendition of Redbone playing in the backround of this video

[@eeriewaters]

This was truly beautiful and grounding. Thank you.

[@laserus3333]

He's a funny dude And his Authentic personality and honesty earns my respect.( Very Few people in that realm do)
