- Kevin McCarthy sat down 1:1 with "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" star Shia LaBeouf to discuss why he disliked the 2nd film so much, his first auditions in the business and what makes us matter in life.

Shia is very articulate and well-spoken when he actually speaks
I thought the same, he's not like that anymore
and not screaming optimus!! lol
Ruptek at the end of the day that's how we all function, right?
+Ruptek i'm not xD. i'm just going through a deep philosophical/rational week and when i read your comment i felt like laying my own :) cheers
NOOOOOOOOO OPTIMUS!
Destroys and rants ?? Wtf. Sounded more like constructive criticism to me.
+GeFlous
We got short-changed bigtime.
+GeFlous next time he is meeting this interviewer hes only giving him one word answers for twisting his words.
+SmokingBirds That sounds like an awkward interview.
It was. And Kevin labelled it "Awkward Interview with Shia LaBeouf" or something like that.
It's called click bait.
It's heartbreaking to me how Shia is being crucified for his honesty in this interview. Need more open and honest people in this world.
Haters gonna hate. I like Shia, I think he's a misunderstood, decent guy who get caught in shitty movies with shitty writing
+tovia myles he's not being honest, he's saying that the third transformers movie is super good because everyone was motivated after the second one sucks....but the third one is shit too, so he's just giving a dishonest sales pitch disguised as brutal honesty.
Sad really that Shia stopped with transformer 3
The second movie ain't that bad though
@@nGUNNARp I mean technically the third one was the best of those 3.
It is not ranting, it is well-collected and thought-out commentary. Come on, internet. Try to be mature a bit. You can stary by giving videos correct titles.
You can stary by managing to spell "start" correctly.
just give him a thumb down
totally, this is great to hear such insightful honesty instead of the usual PR, Shia's awesome!
right on, one of the only interviews where valuable insightful information is actually being disclosed about behind the scenes struggles.
you can have a well thought out rant.
Really bad marketing decision to give this title to the interview. Not only is it a great interview, but Shia's observations and criticism are quite well put. He's not shitting on a movie he's been in, he's exercising constructive criticism. The interviewer should've known better and should've been more professional.
true, he knows what he's speaking about
shia is life
it's a clickbait title with one goal.
Look at your likes it the time that Jesus passed.
@@chasepnewski0655 yeah but the clip itself is good
Shia has my support through and through. I would love to see his vision in making a film.
* slow motion explosions *
Optimus has sex with everyone. Because art.
Here we are 3 years later and Honeyboy is here, which was written by Shia and is blowing up right now.
Magnus - love this reply on this particular vid, you’re real.
Shia is the man. He might come off as crazy a lot of the time, but he seems to have a sort of peculiar enlightenment about the world and how things work. We need more people like him.
Don't understand why Shia still gets so much hate. He's kinda interesting.
he's incredibly interesting and incredibly smart. he gets shit because people think that famous actors aren't humans also. like he only exists to amuse them. many people are also incredibly stupid
Shia gets hate because he does what he wants. People don't like that. Seen how he dresses in everyday life? He doesn't conform to the typical hollywood douche lifestyle and thats admirable.
Archangel he's definitely one for the history books
dylan farnum you clearly haven't payed much attention to what he actually has done since then
Just do it
People give him so much shit. To me he honestly seems like one of the most down-to-earth hollywood starts.
He just wants to have fun and doesn't care much about what people think
he's rich . he don't care
Master Chief
He Cares every question..
This guy is gucken arround with him up
That makes hin nervous, 'cause he wont
get that respektlos to him
He mentioned the writer's strike and I just have to say how appalling it is that they refused to pay them more money - the writers are like the Dark Matter of the Entertainment Industry and deserve more respect and more money than what the people acting in their work receive.. It is just a tragedy really and another sad fact of the Hollywood Machine..
So true... I hate what Hollywood has become. The fact is that all studios do this now so what makes a good movie is how much less it sucks than the others. They get away with it too because people will go see a movie because it's all that's out. It's now what we are used to also
***** I wasn't specifically talking about the writers of this movie but more the ones who asked for more money and got scabbed ..
scrubslover9 Amen
***** That is good to hear because I'm sure you know how much they deserved it.. Much Luv
at least the scripts and stories were good before the strike. Now they get paid more and all we get is remakes and shit stories.
He totally nailed that explanation of Transformers 2. Was so bored of all the CGI robots fighting towards the end that I neither knew nor cared who was good or who was bad
I love how, at 4:25 , after Lebeouf explains what a prick he would be to people at auditions, the interviewer (without a hint of irony) points to the Transformers poster and says "And here you are now!" as if it's a compliment!
Just look at Lebeouf's eyes as the guy says "One of the biggest movies of all time!". He's thinking to himself "I treated people like shit and sold my soul to get to the top, and for what price? Now I'm a public hate-figure and will forever be associated with one of the most derided, soul-less, money-motivated abortions of a movie franchise in history!" You can see in his eyes here that he is waking up and starting to question his life choices.
I know everyone takes the piss out of him nowadays, but I actually admire the way he's washed his hands of corporate hollywood, is now making choices for the benefit of his soul rather than his bank balance, and is trying to be true to himself and carve his own path through life. I think he's a troubled but interesting man.
it doesn't matter
+MrHokeykokey Yeah, key point: after his fat bank balance made. You can't sell back your soul. Not sure what any of this even means. Bartering for your soul is supposed to be a metaphor for losing sight of the Good with a capital 'G'. But what adolescent has a clue about anything? However if you have a soul and you sold it, that's it. Can someone sell it for you before you notice what's going on? I'd say if you are young enough, sure. Just look at all the child actors. The intelligent ones self-destruct. Better to say he's merely looking for authenticity, as we all are. I don't pity him. Remember he was made to feel to be the replacement for Indiana Jones! He has that on the horizon. If he chooses to walk from the entertainment machine, there's a sort of 'I'm a fraud' in that as well, turning your back on the dreams of your agency (family?) that you took to be your own as well. The discovery he's after is largely the famous person's lament (and it's quite boring and predictable to watch)- I think he's convinced himself there's some deeper level of humanness to be found in being ordinary, but settling for the millions, he'll learn to cope with that 'what if' scenario far better than we'll cope with the 'how much better my life would be if I was rich and famous'. Honestly this is probably the last thing I'll ever write about Shia. The first and last. Perhaps that 'Eye of the needle' biblical warning rings true, souls or no souls.
+MrHokeykokey Dude. I thought nobody else noticed!
+MrHokeykokey Agree and kinda sad. At least the Interviewer guy meant it as a compliment, even though to shia it might have not been.
Cant believe for 5 years I thought it was Dark side of the Moon
same here lol
well at least that would have made sense. what's the "dark of the moon" supposed to be anyway?
wouldve been more mysterious if it were
if it was the dark side.. how would they film.. the budget doesn't cover for extra lighting
imagine a
transformers movi with a Pink Floyd soundtrack....
I still think he's a great actor.
+Joey H Bwaaahhhhahahahahahahahahahahahahha
+Joey H I would totally do that.
yeah man did you see him in fury? a
real great job he done....
Agreed. Fury was amazing.
Yeah!
I dislike the title, but I like the video/interview
This man is honest and he said what the rest of us were thinking. The second Transformers was quite awful.
wtf he is right
cant argue with him, he is giving a constructive criticism
What I find amusing is how everyone begs to have famous people be more real & honest in interviews..They usually have PR & a publicist who teach them how to interview well, how to respond, change a subject, etc.. & Then here's shia who clearly doesn't care about catering to the masses, & is always honest in his interviews, & he gets hate for it lol. Make up your minds, you either get someone who's trained on what to say, or you get someone who doesn't hold back.
+C. Katrina Storey It's called the human race, you might've heard of it - humans like to complain
Dark of the Moon is very underrated. Is it the best movie ever? Hell no not even close. But it isn't nearly as bad as people say. Its a decent movie and does what it's trying to accomplish very well.
Yeah, it's actually a decent movie... unlike 2 and 4 which in my opinion are unwatchable...
+Vlad Bayard Yeah 2 was very shit, and 4 was WAY too long
2 is garbage and literally racist as fuck.
He literally just explained why the second one was terrible. He was on set and you, a consumer claims it to be great. That logic..
I don't know why I watched it, considering how 2 is one of the worst films of all time, but yeah, it wasn't bad.
1:47 I fell in love
"shouldn't define ourselves by our occupation" I wish more people truly believed this
+Mr Slappy xd
+Angela H sure you fell in love, gold digger... cuz HE IS RICH! Lol you and your purple hair.... Also, at 1:47 he never says that. What is wrong with you?
+Matthäus so she can't get the time right? Just as she can't get her hair right lol. And you're just as bad, at 2:47 the interviewer is talking. What's wrong with you Lothar Matthaus?
Matthäus you seem to know a lot about sexual frustrations, now go fuck yourself. Don't lie over the internet, liar.
2.04 I fell in love. Where he says that spiders shit buttons
Marvel could never let their actors be this honest and it’s a damn shame. This is so refreshing and you can see Shia really cares about his craft 👏🏻
What does Marvel have to do with Transformers tho?
Sir Ian Mckellen on an interview said almost the same thing about acting with cgi characters and green backgrounds, he almost quit "The Hobbit" because of it.
I thought Dark of the Moon was the best entry in this franchise. Not saying it was an amazing film but it was entertaining, and it didn't make me wanna shoot myself.
The more years pass the most transformers becomes bad , its been a movie that i always loved and shia is the right caracter for it . Nobody else and thats it , if you add new people its not going to bring more viewers on the money . Transformers is a very very beautiful idea and shia fulfilled that idea perfectly, maby im used to how he plays bcs tbh i only seen him since transformers as a actor and no other movie of him expect for a song with sia in the cage . But if you thinking to bring transformers to the energy that its been bring back shia and megan fox . Dont put no damn dwayne johnson or someone new bcs those people are doing it all and it wont drag anny attention , transformers 1 and 2 were the best series ever . I still watch em , 2021 speaking . Not the new ones. Ever since shia left i think its just a movie without humans at all
I love his honesty
I think Shia Labeouf is absolutely brilliant! I thought he was amazing ever since the first Transformers. Well actually since Even Stevens but was too young to realize. But 'amazing' morphed into brilliant after I saw him in the Sigur Rós - Fjögur píanó video. And not for all the reasons everyone was making a fuss. It was because of the gravity of the contrast(s) between the 'class clown' with a mouth that we became so accustomed to and this individual such a slave to artistic expression that he is literally willing to bare all (w/ a focus on the depths of his portrayal of his character) in this atypical piece. it made me gain so much respect and appreciation for him. Also made me wanna watch his other stuff that I missed. Okay, rant over. In short - he's awesome!
Am I the only one who thinks that one day Shia is going to become a great actor and director?
I love that Shia speaks the utter truth
That interviewer just saved his ass when he added "or audition" to "a real job interview" haha I could feel him having an oh shit moment
I wonder if the interviewer would sit differently if he were wearing a kilt....
He is honest I respect that.
Stanley Yelnats
Really thoughtful and great interview!
He sounds surprisingly and pleasantly honest
I actually enjoy all the Transformers movies, they are nowhere near masterpieces, but they were okay in my opinion.
BECAUSE OF YOU BITCHES, HE BECOME THIS POPULAR.
Echo Grub95 became
CLICKBAIT to the max. You're wrong for this Kevin
Last part made me laugh because I did something similar when I was interviewing for bookkeeping positions. It's not about being the best there it's about appearing to be the best. So what you want to do is either go after someone who is nervous or try and make the person before you nervous. It's the contrast that makes you look so much better than you are in the interview.
Thought my eyes were playing up, cause that picture of Optimus Prime was moving and shit. Thought there was something other than coffee in my coffee.
I actually agree, Transformers II is the closest Michael Bay is ever going to get to Apocalypse Now.
honestly i liked the second one. much more than the third and fourth one.
u are dumb
Atomsk ThePirateKing lol and you are a tool
***** yup and there's going to be a 5th and a 6th one too
+Naked Snake and a bumble bee stand alone movie
Transformers 1 - alright...4.5/10 (won't watch it again)
Transformers 2 - one of the worst movies I've seen (0/10)
Transformers 3 - only transformers that I think was average (6/10)
Transformers 4 - pile of dogshit (0/10)
i liked him, i get why people would dislike what he said, but i genuinely think he is not a bad guy, and i like the way he talks
Great interview!
i love how revenge of the fallen is almost everyones favorite😭😭😭😭😭
That movie sucks
It's my fav movie
According to who? 😂 it’s one of the most poorly received movies from critics and audiences of all time
@@darudesandstrom1067 bro.idk if yk this.alot of childhood movies are poorly reviewed
it's part of our childhood and people have a preference on which they prefer
ppl think amazing spiderman 2 was shit but i enjoyed it and it's part of my childhood🤷♂️ and as same thing here
i prefer it to the first one
people have opinions bro lmao
@@alexjohnson653 That’s largely because a lot of film studios would put little effort into children’s films because they knew it didn’t matter they were going to sell tickets anyway.
I have no problem with people having an opinion and enjoying stuff, but we gotta be real and acknowledge that a lot of movies from our childhood sucked. Especially movies from the 2000s
Shia is a legend
How he says at the end well hey youre in the biggest movie and shia just like, yea... fascinating how people at the top of hollywood are either fake and dark or telling everyone run away its a bad place, so much respect for shia for rising above it creatively
Happy B-day Sam Witwicky. Love u man, i love Transformers and Linkin Park. Good movies and Musics. May the Peace be with u man. From Harlingen Texas. June 11, 1986

Well, even though he went into meltdown soon after this interview, I've got to say he speaks a lot of sense.
Arjun Menon its a symptom of great thinkers
hes a real dude. I respect him and given the crap he has gone thru with the film industry I understand why he pulled some of the stunts he did. I felt like I wouldve done the same
i remember being amazed by the second movie because of the humour and storyline and the emotion towards the end in the fight out in the desert. however, i guess it is important for a movie to have a direction and a certain script. only actors know whether a movie is good or not because of how they feel making it. I did like the 3rd one best, it is underrated. on the other hand, i heard grease was made spontaneously with little or no script. Thats part of the magic of storytelling and filmmaking: creating something without a plan. they probably could have at least written their own script even with the writers strike, just shows how dumb they are, these hollywood folk. but they were pretty good at coming up with something half way decent for the second movie... they did well. but lesson learnt.
This is the first interview I've seen from shia, he has that vibe of a cool older bro
i actually liked the 1st and 3rd transformers movies the 2nd and 4th are terrible (although the forest fight in the 2nd was dope!) but they dont make me angry. its not like i wake up in the morning and think of killing michael bay or anything. i just think of them and go "meh".
I didn't get angry either untill i read the news that Bay wants to make a transformers movie that features The Legend of King Arthur. That's just too much bullshit too ignore.
transformer 3 was so much bullshit
I going to kill myself now
+Gokuraku Kris Wtf, was this done in a comic or something?
jar head here: www.cinemablend.com/news/1551179/where-transformers-the-last-knight-may-have-gotten-the-idea-for-its-king-arthur-story
I loved the first one. The desert combat scenes were full of adrenaline and action
wow this is incredible interview with true wisdom
Don't care what Shia or anyone says. Revenge of the Fallen is by far my favourite out of all 5 films. As a major action fan, it was definitely action packed the most out of the series. Absolutely despised TF3 - 5. Found them much more boring compared to the first two. Also, the original cast was the best.
I think it aged very nicely. Just saw it again last night and you can at least tell that the heart is there.
I love how you don’t mention the crappy story and annoying characters
@@andrewjackson3486There was no heart, it was a cashgrab
What's the name of the documentary about apocalypse now he was talking about in the beginning?
heart's of Darkness .
thanks!
+Maximillion Roderick it's the real life documentary "I'M A HUGE MAJOR ASSHOLE, JERK, PRICK" by Shia Lebeuf.
I love his hair like this. 🙌🙌🙌
"Go sit over there and leave me alone" 😂😂
My setting are on normal speed, but the video seems a little sped up, right?
He's completely right...every word.
So ridiculous how honest he is !
Can’t wait for this movie to come out 😎
Shia is the coolers dude ever ! Would be awesome to hang out with him
I enjoyed this very much....speaking truth....
He's so refreshingly honest. And he wasn't bashing anyone that was a constructive honest opinion
Don't ever shave Shia!
Dude the scene where optimas prime vs the 3 decepticons was the best in movie history
Hearing about his audition game, man Shia was ruthless! But it worked, so kudos? :P
to be honest, 2 was well told, fell in well with the first movie, and it all made sense. 3 and 4 seem to be the ones, despite their planning, that fell short. I still loved all 4 of them to be honest. and will love the ones in the future
Wow, why am I just seeing this?! I thought the title was an exaggeration, but after watching it, I'd say it's an understatement,
damn hes cool as fuck
Sam witwicky I miss you like bread in the movies of transformers😭😭😭
I don't understand why people say transformers movies were garbage. What were you expecting, Memoirs of a Geisha? It's an action film
I'm an actor, and this actually is all rational, valid advice. Thanks for posting.
Love this dude man
Re what he says about Francis Ford Copolla. For the full crazy story about Apocalypse Now everybody should read Easy Riders, Raging Bulls by Peter Biskind, probably the best book ever written about Hollywood in the 1970s.
"That stuff seems to matter more, you know? Feeding a dude who doesn't eat, you know?"
I do understand some stuff now.
I like how he doesn't diss the sequel but professional sums it up
Motivated.

I love Shias honesty in this interview. My guess is he got some ear ache from the guys above after it
omg he's smart😱😱😱
This interview explains a lot, transformers was pretty damn good, but 2 felt awkward and something I couldn't put my finger on...bad story telling? Yep, but then he says transformers 3 was handled much better....that was much worse, I mean the whole premise of them being on the moon during the moon landing had me saying holy shit that is just beyond terrible.... I tried watching 4 twice and fell asleep both times even though it started ok and seems like it was going somewhere.
and here I thought I was the only person on earth who liked 2 better than 3.
miss this guy in transformers
Pretty well spoken dude!
in the background the greenscreen is moving!!!
Lays down a hugely perceptive and constructive assessment of the previous entry with skepticism and rationality.
'DUH WHAT'S THE MEANING OF LIFE SHIA'
This is him at his finest.
It Would've Been Ridiculous If We Saw Shia Screaming When Bee Went Flying In The Vehicle Mode In Freeway Chase.
I like his honesty. The dude is cool.
Some things are better left unsaid
Why's everyone complaining about the video title? In the video he is talking about Transformers 2, please watch the video before you comment.
Yeah, but he didn't "destroy" it. He gave constructive criticism on something he was asked about and the interviewer uploaded a dumb, click bait title that made him sound like he was shitting on his own movie.
Please read the title before you comment.
3:59 oh ya oh ya man............. oh ya oh ya man hahaha
3:05 did he just blow smoke out of his nose?!
Eddie Duan Nope, light reflection on his suit
Good on him. Even though they're all garbage after the first one, I appreciate the honesty. More people should talk like this in interviews.
I really don't see why everyone says it's so hard to see what's happening. I'm not saying I liked this film, but I could easily see everything that was happening from beginning to end.
I thought he was going to rant but it turned out to be well thought.
Am I the only one who didn't know that it was Shia that played that role. I had no idea until like 3 minutes ago
I'd love to hear what he thought about the last one....that was terrible. If Shia cared so much about being serious, why did he do the last 2 Transformer movies, the script and acting was terrible in both.
The acting wasn't terrible as much as it was the dialogue and script, Transformers is one of those series that quickly became a guilty pleasure, but also a confusion for development hell. Since it wasn't even really true at all to the source material, being almost a entirely new series. He was the main role, that's why he stuck. And come on, that pay though.
I still blame Bay in almost a whole though for not scrapping it, since everyone knew it wasn't a true adaption. Even though the films can be entertaining, they're all a huge utter mess in terms of plot holes and being true to the original material. If only the brand was as cared for as it was to get the real Transformers movie. I think we will one day.
Only was and still is a cash grab. Which is unfortunate, but Shia and a couple of the other actors did really well. (Not Megan Fox)
Zachary Madden contracts can fuck you. you may not realize the movie is going to be shit until after you have signed on the line. just saying it's crap and walking away will either get you sued, blacklisted, or both
What a legend
Shia seems like a cool dude he's really matured.
The sound is very quiet!
When he left the franchise died
