Shia LaBeouf Headbutt - Let's Look At The 'Retired' Star's Top 5 Idiotic Moments

For a man who’s recently decided to retire from public life, Shia LaBeouf is sure lingering in the public eye. He’s walking around London headbutting people willy-nilly, and let’s not forget; he’s starring in two pretty high profile movies this year.

He’s not quite reached Justin Bieber’s inordinate displays of stupidity, but his recent behavior has gained him more enemies that friends. Here’s a little rundown of Shia’s most idiotic moments, and yes, his recent headbutt makes the cut.

2005 – Knife madness

Almost a decade ago – Shia will have been around 18 – Hollywood.com reported that the Holes star wielded a kitchen knife after an altercation with a neighbor. LaBeouf totally lost his collective braincells when he had to wait to put his car in the garage.

"Shia began honking his horn and yelling at the guy, but the neighbor told him to wait a minute, and carried on talking to his girlfriend,” an onlooker explained at the time. "Then Shia rammed his car into the back of the other guy's car. Words were exchanged and Shia jumped out and threatened the neighbor." Shia, man.

2013 – plagiarising an apology for plagiarising

While this is idiotic, credit should go to Shia for creativity here. In a spate of apologies doled out to people he offended via copying their work - or myriad other methods he employed – Shia managed to actually copy Lena Dunham’s apology – which is a stroke of creative genius considering he was apologising for plagiarizing. Tweets here. And here.

2013 – took the WRONG drug to prepare for a movie

In preparation for the frankly awful movie, Charlie Countryman, Shia decided it would be a good idea to become a method actor. But instead of taking the Daniel Day Lewis route, i.e., do it with dignity to further his performance in any given role, Shia decided to tell everyone about it.

Turns out he took the wrong drug.

"Shia said he took acid? I didn't know he went out and said that. But it was always ecstasy in the script," explained the movie’s director, Fredrik Bond. Little Rupert Grint watched, too. "He smashed the place up, got naked and kept seeing this owl," he explained, according to the New York Daily News.

Unknown date – got a rubbish tattoo

Tattoos are predominantly bad, and this staff writer really knows. But Shia’s is really bad. He’s got “1986-2004” inscribed on his inner right wrist as a precautionary not to FORGET ABOUT HIS CHILDHOOD.

He’s also got a hand with a shackle on it on his upper left torso. LaBeouf described the upper side torso tattoo as "an artist drawing his own prison. Just life. That's where I'm at". Yep. Shut up Shia.

2014 – headbutt idiot

And now to the matter at hand – Shia decided to headbutt a man who spoke about his mother in some form. 'What are you saying about my girl's mom? Are you f****** kidding me bro?' Shia shouted, as shown in a video posted by TMZ on Thursday.
