In July 2008, “Indiana Jonesâ€� and “Transformersâ€� star Shia LaBeouf made headlines, but not for his role in a blockbuster film. According to the Associated Press, LaBeouf got into a car accident on La Brea and Fountain in Hollywood. Nobody was seriously injured, but both parties went to the hospital. LaBeouf was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving. He was not criminally charged in the incident, but his license was suspended for one year.  (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times)

When he turned 21 in 2007, LaBeouf didnÂ’t have a big drinking party. Growing up with a father with a substance abuse problem took away much of the appeal of alcohol. Plus, he told Entertainment Weekly, “Everyone turns 21.Â… Not everyone gets to be in ‘Indiana Jones.’ ”   (Frazer Harrison / Getty Images)

In 2009, LaBeouf re-teamed with his on-screen girlfriend Megan Fox for “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.â€� But in real life, LaBeouf is a bit of a mother’s boy, based on a June 2009 interview with Playboy magazine. In it, he said of his mother: “Nobody looks like that woman. If I could meet my mother and marry her, I would. I would be with my mother now, if she weren’t my mother, as sick as that sounds.â€�   (Kevin Winter / Getty Images)

Shia LaBeouf is currently promoting “Lawless,â€� but that’s not all he’s up to. His upcoming releases include “The Company You Keep,â€� in which he plays a journalist, and “The Nymphomaniac,â€� a title, that is well, self-explanatory.  (Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times)
