I know I'm basically falling right into the trap of buying the image he's selling, but after reading his GQ interview, I'm grudgingly finding myself intrigued by Shia LaBeouf. Granted, there are a few "quirky" little passions of his that are described in the interview--his newfound obsession for guns, his toilet seat collection (it's an art project) and the fact that he likes to breakdance (sigh, seriously?)-- that sound annoyingly self-aware, but the description of his reaction to hearing that his smoking incident had been made public rather endeared him to me.
Shia told the GQ interviewer, "The guy gives me a ticket. Then the court date came up two days after I had gotten back from shooting, and I just forgot about it. The news went everywhere, like I was on a crime spree. And it killed me. It broke my heart, because I really try not to be that guy." And that kind of made me like him.
Also, he admitted to crapping his pants on a regular basis until he was about twelve. That takes balls. Not the crapping bit, but the admitting part and I can't help but admire him for it.

Those pictures are horrible.. I'm not sure if "try as hard as you can to look authentic, but fail miserably" was the look they were going for.
