SHINNING STAR ALERT - Shia LeBeouf


Shia LaBeouf, care of JustJared.com

So in my long running tradition, I am predicting Shia LeBeouf will be Hollywood's newest golden boy. He reminds me of a young Leo. He will definitely need a few years to add to his chops and resume, but this kids got it. The Los Angeles native who made his debut in Hollywood on widely watched sitcoms in the late 90's has been receiving some critical acclamation for his recnt projects. In his recent effort, "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints", which was released last year, LaBeouf played the lead role flawlessly as young trouble maker in streets of Astoria, New York in the early 1980's. With his upcoming film "Disturbia", a twisted horror tale, which looks like a modernized - kid version of Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window", will hopefully get this guy's picture on girl's walls everywhere and casting agents talking about him. He is also providing voice work for the pengiun flick " Surf's Up" (which also features Chili Pepper music) and "The Transformers". And according to Hollywood sources, Steven Speilberg has fallen in love with this kid and his casting him in the newest Indiana Jones effort, which should begin shooting witihn the year. No confirmation on this cast as of yet.

Any ways, I love this guy and I think with a bit of time and about 10 -15 years, he will become both an Oscar and Spirit Award nominee for his acting effort.
