Watching Shia LaBeouf watch Transformers is better than watching Transformers

Is he a genius or insane?

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

As you may be aware, actor and performance artist Shia LaBeouf is currently live-streaming himself watching every film he’s ever featured in.

The internet has become somewhat obsessed with the Actual Cannibal's latest art project #ALLMYMOVIES, with thousands watching him cry, laugh and sleep through all 29 feature length films.

Appropriately, the highlights so far have come from Shia’s worst films, particularly his emotional journey through the Transformers trilogy - the third of which grossed $1.124 billion while being critically panned for its absurd script.

The 29-year-old’s reaction to the film, as you may expect, was that of shia horror, culminating in a little nap. See below.

Throughout the marathon screening, Shia is remaining mute. Members of the public, meanwhile, are able to watch the movies alongside the actor.

Artists Luke Turner and Nastja Sade Ronkko are once again involved in the ‘installation’, having worked with Shia on his Los Angeles-based project #IAMSORRY.
