Shia LaBeouf

Background

Shia LaBeouf is the son of Jeffrey LaBeouf and Shayna LaBeouf. He was born in Los Angeles, California, and has no siblings. His father is a former San Francisco clown who studied commedia dell’arte in France, and his mother was a former ballet dancer from New York. He attended Alexandra Hamilton High School and 32nd Street U.S.C. Visual and Performing Arts Magnet, which explains his dynamite talent.

In 2000, he got a deal to star in Disney Channel’s original series, “Even Stevens,” and he won a Daytime Emmy Award for his excellent performance three years later. Unlike many who struggled to break through into the industry and get signed, LaBeouf experienced no trouble — he got signed on his first casting calls. He got his breakthrough performance after featuring in the movie “Holes” and later featured in more films, including “Dumb and Dumberer.” His outstanding raw talent took the industry by storm — he had the critics applauding him. In 2005 he co-starred with Keanu Reeves in “Constantine.” In addition, LaBeouf earned three award nominations for the film “American Honey.” LaBeouf and Lorenzo Eduardo co-founded an independent film company, Grassy Slope.

He got accepted into Yale University, his first choice, but decided to pursue his career as an actor instead. He dated China Brezner, whom he met on set, followed by English actress Carey Mulligan. Eventually, he married Mia Goth at the Viva Las Vegas chapel. A few years later, they filed for a divorce. They have a daughter who was born on March 2022.
