Shia LaBeouf on Playing John McEnroe
• Shia LaBeouf on Playin...

[@martianmilktvofficial]

i actually think shia labeouf is a really good actor, he just had a rough patch in his career, but i think he has real talent

[@sebherzogful]

Really good in fury which only came out few years ago

[@Thebepob]

martianmilktv Shia is honestly the Daniel Day-Lewis of our generation. A lot of people don’t realize how good of a method actor he is.

[@bd6ye]

What does everyone mean about his rough patch in his life??

[@Flowerz__]

Sela Nikua he had alot of bad publicity in the media and he also got arrested a few times

[@CrowzEye]

How does going through a rough patch in life affect your talent as an actor? Wtf

[@--_V_--]

''It do something to your head this life'' *looks straight into the camera* Oh Shia :)

[@BethanyNash]

This may be a bit cryptic to say, but I mean it - I'm so glad he's still with us. A few years ago I thought for sure he'd be the next one we'd lose. Such a talented dude, I hope he stays well. Wish him nothing but the best.

[@sohft]

Good to see him doing well.

[@sohft]

Hi Shia.

[@countys32]

Shai is a brilliant young actor, arguably the best actor of his generation who else is choosing roles like this.

[@martinpaz2547]

countys32 Paul Dano

[@countys32]

I did say arguably, there are many other fine young actors about as well.

[@martinpaz2547]

Fair enough!

[@Dthesun]

It'll do something to your head, this life.

[@deeprao3406]

Dthesun poor guy was waiting for a response

[@nihilistmusic3712]

With the office stare lol... Illuminaty confirmed

[@SierraHari]

That freaked out kid from transformer...I miss him..

[@ChiefVizier]

"Do something to your head, this life" *STARES DIRECTLY INTO MY SOUL*

[@diamondsdiamondsdiamonds8711]

This role fits him more than transformer

[@p1sc3s4]

SO TRUE

[@jokarpinski22]

I saw this movie, the major problem was Borg was the focus, like 60/40. It should've been a McEnroe movie. Shia was amazing, and I personally wasn't a big fan before.

[@HABO2210]

no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no,no, no, no, no, no,no, no, no, no, no,no, no, no, no, no,no, no, no, no, no,no, no, no, no, no

[@devontecaples1993]

lol he fits both roles perfectly wtf is up with trynna have a more valid opinion

[@dredog710]

Diamonds DiamondsDiamonds he’s in so many movies than that do you’re research

[@Loddentidster]

I dig Shia Labeouf so much! He's an eccentric, but so many geniuses have been through the years. He is definitely a contender for the Oscar sometime in the near future!

[@seanxxx8999]

Always been a fan of Shia

[@johnshook3341]

One of my favorite actors. Lawless was an incredible performance

[@jermar1979]

He’s a good actor. Glad to see him back. Love him in “Holes” and “Disturbia.”

[@lilmzbubblez]

"It would do something to your head this life." *stares into my soul* I felt that.

[@ryan29550]

Don't care what anyone says, I'm happy Shia's still acting. Loved the guy since Even Stevens & the Transformer movies.

[@StereoChimps]

you can say anything but Sai is really one of the best Young actors out there he puts so much soul into his acting that is just beautiful !

[@SAMZIRRA]

Why would anyone not like this guy? He is a free spirit. I'm envious.

[@MahaloLuz]

I'm really glad to see him!!

[@n.ee.h]

I'm so glad he's back!

[@hatredknight9964]

The last smile i saw was on the film Transformers dotm ...❤❤❤

[@nikeairmax9533]

Awesome always liked his acting, good to see him back

[@insaneone4369]

Its hard to forget its Shia Labeouf. He's unable to lose himself in his roles. Its always Shia I'm seeing.

[@Miriam-fk9wr]

I love Shia, he’s a good actor and underrated glad to see him back.

[@jonburrows7874]

Perfect role for Shia! good for him

[@veek.6463]

He's an insanely brilliant actor and maybe brilliantly insane.

[@brandonnewell4552]

I'm glad Shia is back.

[@jiukalita]

As a huge McEnroe fan, this was quite a movie!

[@mumble97]

I never even heard of this movie until now. But when I saw the first 5 seconds I immediately thought the role was perfect for him.

[@dadadruma]

this guy is so cool and real He looks great!!!

[@kudabeen]

Genius choreography...want to check this out now...

[@hayesdabney]

Perfect casting!

[@FerrariKing]

He fits the role perfectly. Good acting.

[@nathanmamo3970]

I love that Shia LeBouf is back now!

[@DorianDuVerger]

I like how he didn't shake his hand

[@sensesfailg]

Oh wow! looks awesome i cant wait to watch it

[@sufyanghani9022]

Fam I didn't even know this came out

[@fatn30something60]

Sufyan Ghani me neither

[@mannymedrano308]

[@kbdogdivision9661]

Blackballed

[@treegerl]

LOVE HIM

[@billybutcher9838]

You know. I always liked this guy

[@ArtbyAtlas]

Shia always been my guy since Even Stevens man. They try to make dude look crazy, but I believe in him. Glad to see him in a great movie.

[@Zemay]

You've got to love Shia LaBeouf

[@hasoonnine]

looks like Shia has recovered since the "he will not divide us" thing.

[@AwesomenessHippopotamus]

They have been advertising this movie so long I thought it came out years ago and I just missed it.

[@FamBAMiLee]

I wouldn't have even considered watching this movie, but knowing that my man, Shia Labeouf, is in it...different story.

[@AhmedMahmoud-sq7xg]

yes does this mean Shia is back to being sane and its time to do some sweet movies Transformers still need him tho

[@castorotto7829]

Really good movie, you all should see it!

[@LucidRobYT]

Shia finally playing himself in a film.

[@CodeinCaptain]

"it'll do something to your head, this life." He gets it.

[@jamiegoforth]

I love SHIA

[@dynalmite]

*HE'S BACK*

[@kudabeen]

Perfect Casting LoL...Enjoy his work...just about always.

[@CoolPandaTheMovieNerd]

He was really good in Fury.

[@MaheshWalatara]

Fantastic movie- especially the guy play Borg was just- simply he WAS Borg.

[@supersomebody101]

I’m confused I seen this movie online a couple months ago. Why does it say comes out tommorow

[@Al-ou3so]

Shia may be a disturbed individual for many reasons but I love the dude, coming from a young actor here.

[@leovulpes4917]

Shia seems like a good dude

[@ScrewInTheTuna_]

Always a hero to me for transformers. I’m glad he’s back and shows how fickle everyone is these days. Nice one Shia

[@ellisguerrero212]

*YESTERDAY you said TOMORROW!*

[@MrPrincewill]

"It'll do something to your head.. This life" *stares at camera*

[@mosesmabini]

That stare 3:53

[@jessbragg1]

finally a nod to "transformers" and shia DIDNT get upset about it, improvement! :)

[@beramtaib4713]

It’s official Shia has a time machine, send in the military

[@leosworld2]

Shia lo amo!

[@LB-gz3ke]

This is the part he was born to play: Spoiled actor, spoiled athlete. Perfect.

[@craigoneill8277]

He seems so normal now he must of got all the weird out of his system! Happy days he’s actually a great actor

[@rubia102386]

shai can do no wrong by me, hes an amazing actor!

[@rypulliam]

Shia as McEnroe looks like Louis Stevens cause of the fro.

[@aliyahukaye]

He looks younger in the film💕

[@BruceWayne-xq1uf]

Shia may be out of his mind but he’s a damn good actor

[@killfacedel5014]

Heavily conflicted man. Cannot express how much I loved him in even Stevens even though I think it’s probably annoying for him to hear that. Arguably the best child actor from the 2000’s. This is a great role for him. Really good role for him

[@billybllionz]

This role obviously fits him

[@budoora3563]

That looks like a bad cookie at the end 🍪 😂

[@WallEWorld]

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN SHIA!!??

[@tpsu129]

Shia has been auditioning for the role for years.

[@9rempire892]

“Just do it”

[@luke56]

HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US!

[@AlainBruno]

Good actor 👍

[@kokkil7047]

He killed it in Man Down ;)

[@NapoleonDynamite69]

My goal is to get in shape like him, he isn't a bodybuilder neither am i but i think he loooks great. Same with you man, almost there

[@ohsoyoureawrestlernow9756]

Alain Bruno fuckboy alert

[@Tan87ful]

Agreed

[@swisscheeseplease97]

I see you everywhere

[@Noiiizeeey]

He's finally cool

[@tkaz123]

Shia has some Christian Bale vibes going in this video

[@ssdravidian]

YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS !!!!

[@justin33.44]

I’ll say it. Shia sort of reminds me of Justin Bieber. What I mean is yeah sure behind the scenes he might do some things that we’d call odd, but when it’s time to work, he comes to work. Shia is a really great actor is what I’m saying.

[@jameyg6349]

real life cannibal, sia labeouf

[@JohnRoot34231]

McEnroe supposedly said he wanted to like the movie but couldn't because they made up all these things to make him look like a jerk. He said he was a jerk, but they could have used what really happened.

[@mikey7257]

I dont care what anybody says. I like shia as an actor. He was awesome in fury

[@jerrodp9867]

Agree. He was really good in Lawless also.

[@mikey7257]

Jerrod P i havent gotten around to seeing lawless yet. One of those movies that slipped through the cracks for me. On my list though

[@StuAus]

He's always great. I don't think people doubt his acting ability, it's the other weirdness which gets him in trouble sometimes.

[@jerrodp9867]

Mikey --- I suggest watching on your next day off. Tom Hardy and Jason Clarke are amazing. Based on a true story. You won't be disappointed. Forgot Jessica Chastain and Guy Pearce are also very good. Tom Hardy is a badass.

[@Lunamere]

Mikey Glad to know I'm not the only person who feels this way.

[@m.j.k.5236]

It's good to see this dude doing well.

[@Patzenviking1993]

Shuckzaw XIII for now😂

[@douchymcdouche169]

Yes, so well that this movie which came out last year and has been on DVD for months is only now getting attention in US.

[@Arinzee]

Shia was always a good actor....he just lost his mind for a little while. 😂

[@IP_Films01]

Honorable Catsmeat trump sucks

[@DendyJungle]

Shuckzaw XIII def has a lot of potential. He just needs to focus

[@ScarlettJ1221]

I don't know the last time I've seen Shia on a tonight show, good for him

[@ronburgundy244]

sah ooha he means on a late night talk show.

[@popeye697]

ScarlettP probably when he did Fury and that was Kimmel too

[@unknownguy639]

He needs to bring his ass back to transformers

[@mscentineonoahssecretwife5343]

unknown guy Agreed

[@kashbrownz9]

Kimmel will always take him on. I believe this was Shia's 11th time on this show.

[@leonthesleepy]

Really good actor, might be insane but eh lets eat some chocolates

[@shawnuel]

Or some doo-doo

[@ramonmonch]

Alot of people might seem insane in certain periods and bad moments of their life

[@tanner4214]

Not insane. Quite the opposite

[@codyj8763]

Why is he insane? Because he hasnt conformed to the "idea" of what your stereotypical hollywood actor is, that you see on social media?

[@killfacedel5014]

ramonmonch if you were a part of or saw the drone footage of Shia and his he will not divide us flag then you would know he’s insane. Great actor, but definitely insane

[@thebricktherapy5512]

He should take up more roles like this

[@Hectorferjr2]

I always said Shia would be perfect in lead roles for Whiplash, Foxcatcher, and It. Here the problem, the dude needs to get sober and stop talking crap about Spielberg because nobody wants to work with a guy who said his boss was more of a company and less of a man who gave him unrelated and dated opportunities that the majority of us would be overjoyed of having.

[@jessajupiter]

See him in American Honey.

[@andyhernandez2802]

Underrated actor. Needs a academy role

[@AllenBoguslavsky]

agreed dude

[@Hectorferjr2]

I always said Shia would be perfect in lead roles for Whiplash, Foxcatcher, and It.

[@destroyall6597]

For sure! Fury was amazing, maybe get him in some more WW2 movies

[@Hectorferjr2]

I wanted Shia to star in Hacksaw Ridge. Mel Gibson himself felt sorry for the talented actor.

[@destroyall6597]

Hectorferjr2 Who did Shia look similar to though in the real hacksaw to have had a part?

[@jhjkuik]

"JUST DO IT " -Shai LaBeouf

[@chesterkie5328]

Don't let your dreams be dreams

[@sammy2294]

I watch it every day, I'll definitely make it, you should do the same.

[@Razz934]

Dew it- sheev palpatine

[@ericmharper]

Shia*

[@afrocoolio25]

DOOOOOO ITTT!

[@bartman1067]

Such a great actor, he deserve an Oscar nomination at least

[@sdHansy]

You've gotta be kidding, right?

[@danepotmo2513]

Your mom deserves an Oscar nomination

[@unknownguy639]

Dane Potmo for best undercover hooker

[@NA-ck6cz]

Bart Man He was so good in fury

[@scaredwilly329]

curb your comment dang i was gonna say that..

[@BRONLERS28]

Young RDJ. He needs to find his “Iron Man role” and he’ll get the respect he deserves.

[@tsgtdz13]

He will be Wolverine

[@ellawes4944]

Michael Tovar HONEY BOY!

[@GigglyardoYT]

He played young rdj in “ a guide to recognizing your saints”

[@Jack-gu4fc]

I'm glad that this guy's back.

[@sufyanghani9022]

The clip made me think like Shia was just improvising cause his execution was so good

[@Rakad123]

"They do somting to your head in this life" the look he gives after that kinda looks to real, like a flashback to a dark place, just for a sec... then the show wraps xD

[@badmanskill1112]

@Rubén Ginto I think he was half joking but not completely. Life is really messed up and strange. And to be sane in an insane world says something about your character, not his. And I mean "your" as in society.

[@badmanskill1112]

@Rubén Ginto Google translate bruv: Creo que estaba medio bromeando pero no del todo. La vida es realmente desordenada y extraña. Y estar cuerdo en un mundo demente dice algo sobre tu personaje, no sobre él. Y me refiero a "tu" como en la sociedad.

[@badmanskill1112]

@Rubén Ginto No hay problema. Mi novia habla español, así que uso el traductor de google a menudo :)

[@Neeshpeesh123]

I love me some Shia. 😩😩😍

[@unknownguy639]

Neeshpeesh123 so u don't want me no more?

[@brhyme92]

what about when he said a police officer should die because he was a black man

[@artieobenaer7276]

Neeshpeesh123 Sorry in person the few I thought I have seen are tremendously pathetic in person...

[@MarshaePosh]

Yessss girl 😍😍😍😍 since even stevens

[@5.000.0-c]

3:52 The way he looks in to the camera.. We are all doomed

[@xchx544]

I noticed the same, only certain people know what it means.

[@aplacecalledhappypills9929]

He is just letting us know he is fine now and he went threw what we all go threw when we awaken. He gets we are all one and he has a sense of humor about it. My Man nice to have you back!!

[@mmakeupyourface5905]

Shia is one of the best actors of our generation. Unbelievable gift.

[@WISSPORTS16]

they went from talking about French people to Danish people? I don't follow.

[@jacquedenise86]

Wilde Oscar he said they were in France but I guess the producer was Danish? That's what I took from it. He probably should have said Europeans are more direct, idk

[@johnathanphillips683]

He also said "they got us two together" but then he said he never met McEnroe.

[@DannyMarschall]

Yeah, the producer or director is Danish alright.

[@espandrews]

I also got lost there, am in Belgium I guess

[@denmark39]

Wilde Oscar yeah as a Dane I had to hear it twice....a bit confusing

[@151Sharon]

Seriously ... I love this guy so much. He is such a talented actor.

[@marufhasan9365]

YOU WILL NOT DIVIDE US! YOU WILL NOT DIVIDE US! YOU WILL NOT DIVIDE US!

[@JoeCnNd]

He screams this at a tennis net for a half hour on set.
