Shia LaBeouf sat down with Entertainment Weekly and spoke about his recent success, the biggest challenge in the biz and his favorite career moment. No mention about the arrest, but he does bring up Kayne West as his pick for entertainer of the year.
The best part about being so successful at such a young age is…
”I get to meet my heroes. To be in that Indiana Jones clique is insane. These are my superheroes. These are my Batmans, my Robins. And I get to eat lunch with them.”
The biggest challenge…
”All of a sudden, everyone wants to be your pal. I think the hardest thing is deciphering reality from the success, and knowing when to shut down the success of your occupation to be able to enjoy the mundane, everyday life s—. And you get tired of talking about the same things. I’m tired of talking about myself.”
He knew he’d finally made it when…
”That struggle doesn’t end. I don’t think that ever goes away.I think when that goes away,your career’s over. Success only means more pressure: How is your next film going to differ from your last? If you’re not progressing, you’re dying.”
Favorite career moment of the year…
”I think my favorite moment was when Harrison flew in and jumped out of his helicopter to come to rehearsal with his whip in his hand. He wasn’t in Indiana Jones gear. It was just Harrison Ford with his whip, walking to rehearsal.”
Up next…
”I’m getting ready to go to rehearsal [for Eagle Eye, a political thriller]. They’re gearing up the Transformers sequel right now also. But 2007′s opened up doors to where I can really work with people who I really, really dream of working with.”
Shia’s Entertainer of the Year…
”Kanye West. He’s the most electrifying entertainer I’ve seen this year. That Muhammad Ali, funny, cocky type of thing – ” I haven’t really seen that in a long time. There are never any dull moments. He makes a real effort to make sure that whenever he is on the bill, you know it’s going to be exciting.”

shia is definitely a cutie but it is not just his outside appearance, he has such an awesome personality (not that i know him personally, I wish!) He is so funny and smart and that is sexy!
He is so good looking.
I watched Transformers 2. It was great!
But, if you people remember, Shia Labeouf is just a normal person.
He is only an actor.
I’m sure he doesn’t like you girls being so obsessed about him and everything.
He’s a good guy, funny, cute, nice, and pretty friendly. <3
If he wasn’t famous I am sure alot of people would think he’s nerdy.
Not hot.
I fer sure think he’s a cutie, along with … like 50-60 million other girls.
Luv yah Shia <3
