10 Most Obnoxious Stars In Hollywood

Never a stranger to acting out, bad behaviour or questionable choices, it’s Shia LaBeouf’s antics in 2014 that have really had people asking whether he’s actually an alien from the planet Douchecanoe.

LaBeouf’s short film HowardCantour.com was shown at Cannes in May 2012 to significant acclaim. However, when it was published online in late 2013, comics fans noted that the story was copied pretty much word for word from a book by veteran comics creator Daniel Clowes, without credit, consent or compensation.

When confronted, LaBeouf apologised. He was then revealed to have plagiarised all of his apologies from other people. A few weeks later, he declared that he was retiring from his own celebrity, appearing in public wearing a paper bag on his head with I AM NOT FAMOUS ANYMORE written on it. This was revealed to be a situationist prank, leading to his appearance as a part of an art installation wearing the bag - where he was allegedly sexually assaulted by a fellow patron of the arts.

Making a fool of himself in increasingly pretentious ways became his thing, a new story or interview with LaBeouf giving people serious concern as to his stability practically every week. Finally, matters came to a head when he was arrested for disrupting a performance of Cabaret in June last year. He spat at police while resisting arrest and was jailed overnight… however, earlier that day he’d been spotted chasing a homeless man for his McDonalds happy meal. Habitual drunkenness was claimed to be the cause of the incident.

Things haven’t gotten noticeably better since he allegedly quit drinking, however. It’s possible that, drunk or sober, Shia LaBeouf is that rare thing: a car crash on a trainwreck, falling off a mountain, crushing the villages in its path to consume everything around it in a hopeless fireball of aggravating obnoxiousness.
