Shia LaBeouf mentions Rob in JOE Interview

One-time stand up comic Shia LaBeouf rose to fame in 2007’s Disturbia, playing the ever-so-slightly bad boy next door who spots a crime but can’t leave his home because he’s wearing a tag, before going on to have huge success in the big budget Hollywood flick Transformers, playing the geeky guy turned world-saving hero.

In his latest role he joins the über-rich sharp-suited 21st Century city boys in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, a follow up to Oliver Stone’s classic movie starring Charlie Sheen and Michael Douglas. Both Charlie and Michael reprise their roles as Bud Fox and Gordon Gekko, plus Oliver Stone is back in the director’s chair.

As the global economy teeters on the brink of disaster, young Wall Street trader Jacob Moore (played by Shia) partners with disgraced former Wall Street corporate raider Gekko on a two-tiered mission: to alert the financial community to the coming doom, and to find out who was responsible for the death of the young trader’s mentor.

We caught up with the 24-year-old actor to see if life among the city traders has worn off on him. We soon discovered that yes, it has.

JOE: How are you dealing with the whole celebrity status? You’ve got the fame and money. You’re dating hot British actress Carey Mulligan who you met on the set of Wall Street. You’ve got girls falling at your feet. You must be lapping it up…

Shia: As long as I stay famous for my work, it’s all good. If I mess up then I am famous for my mess up. I am the first one to admit that it makes great news when you hear that Robert Pattinson robs a bank. Vampire robs a bank. That’s fun. I am 23. I am a normal guy. I never walked into this to be Brad Pitt. The goal for me is to work with the best. And I am fortunate beyond belief. I’m not ready to mess it up for a drink. Do you know what I mean?
