Sightings (Bekah Haynes):
Shia LaBeouf has made headlines recently with his bizarre behavior for the “Nymphomaniac” premiere at the International Film Festival Berlinale last weekend. He was seen wearing a paper bag that covered his face and read, “I Am Not Famous Anymore,” according to Eonline. A few days later he was spotted at the Los Angeles International Airport. This time, however, he sported a casual look that did not include a paper bag that covering his face. Whether the paper bag act was a cry for attention or was just a way to humor his fans, his actions did not go unnoticed.
