The Nicolas Cage Award For Craziest Actor - Shia LaBeouf
Shia LaBeouf only appeared in one movie released in 2015 (little-seen post-apocalyptic war thriller Man Down), but still managed to find himself in the headlines on a regular basis. On his day, the 29 year-old can be a fantastic actor with the right material but finds himself in real danger of having his off-screen antics become more well-known than his onscreen capabilities. As well as being captured on camera screaming 'AMERICA!' at Mount Rushmore and busting out some interpretative dance moves in a very strange music video, one of LaBeouf's art projects saw him sitting at a desk taking phone calls from members of the public. If that wasn't enough, the actor also sat in a theater for three days watching his entire filmography (in reverse chronological order) with a live stream of his reactions being broadcast online. And of course, there is the now-legendary 'JUST DO IT!', which became one of the year's biggest internet phenomenons and spawned thousands of videos of the actor digitally inserted into some of the most famous movies in history. Shia, you are a weird guy. But don't ever change.
I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
