This is the best table of actors they’ve ever done. Just wow
Yeah hope al Pacino gets to be on here
YESSS . IKR!!
adam driver is out of place though
Adam Driver is a phenomenal character actor and second favourite to win the Oscar next year mate
I still think Joaquin will win but if you're unsure about Driver's work go watch 'The Report' and 'Marriage Story'
@@allthegoodonesweregone yeah i recently watched his Ted Talk. I feel he's severly underused in Star Wars.
Shia LaBeouf's character on Even Stevens had a poster of Adam Sandler as the Waterboy hanging up on his bedroom wall for the entire series, and now Shia is talking to Adam Sandler about a film he made, based on his life during that time period.
I never noticed that. Good catch man.
Bat1 Bruh. So true. Fullest of circles.
Bat1 i love this comment , soon as i read it it brought me back in time
I remember aw
I love this so much !
The whole empathy for the biggest villain in your life thing wow
It's amazing advice. You start to feel less intimidated going out into the world when you put an end to the grudges of your past.
Rostchild Victor yeah I felt that. To the core.
I know right, this hit me hard as it is something I have been working through over the last couple of years!!
same. parents weren’t perfect so I always carried that chip. once I took the chip away, life became so much easier.
That blew my mind, the way he described it
This full round table just needs to come out already.
Agreed!!!
Do you know when its coming out?
Won’t come out until January, I think
Likeeee
Yeah it's GAY
People always give him shit, but I love how honest he is and how he's not trying to impress people.
He's an actual cannibal... I mean.
Seems like he’s desperately trying to impress people
Shia is awesome. The Peanut Butter Falcon was the sweetest movie of the year and the fact that he is still friend with Zack Gottsagen even out of the movie is so wholesome. He really changed throughout these couple of years and now he is genuinely nice and honest person.
1:13 I think all of our childhood traumas would collectively disappear if Tom Hanks ever gave us that proud dad look.
Haha. I know right! The whole country could totally use a father figure right now! And he's such a DADDY! 😉
HAHA, I COMPLETELY AGREE! A hug from Tom Hanks and I will be good to go
I don't know about that tell it to Chet Haze.
I absolutely LOVE tom hanks! He was a major part of my childhood and i nick named my dad
ha that's funny... if only you knew.
The way Shia talks about Tom Hardy you just know that man is a top tier actor.
"Your handsome fucking Bob, the lady killer" definitely wish he didnt blow up and there was another rock and roller
That was some film
You know you made it when you make Robert De Niro laugh.
or when you are allowed to call him BOB
To even get a response at all would seem a feat. And, yet, he and the rest identified with Shia .. Loved it.
I think they were genuinely moved by his very personal story and transformation. Good for Shia!
I loved that laugh! Awesome
@Seth Organs Shia is just honest. De Niro probably has no idea or even cares.
I admire Shia’s honesty and plainness in this clip. To be able to just plainly say “I was in a mental institution “ or “I was not in a spot where people where like nobody was going to put money on this kid’s back”
Shia has come a long way. I honestly think he was one of the most misunderstood young artists in Hollywood. I'm so happy to see him in a good place, enjoying his craft and receiving some well deserved praise for his work.
You can't praise a man for bettering himself, getting his mind right and following his passion.... because there are others in the world that may have differing opportunities? If you truly want equality, maybe learn to see people as individuals with unique stories and not just part of a particular race. Bye.
D Leo your a bitter person just let the man grow and leave race out of it
@D Leo I am sorry but he said he wasn't given a chance. He had no other option so he wrote the story. If he was giving a million chances why the fuck would he do something so difficult after coming out of a mental institution.
@D Leo can't tell if stupid or trolling
Shia is a national treasure to us, sober. This man has grown immensely, it's actually really inspiring.
He might be the youngest at the table, but his experience of life and how he overcame it make him wiser and admirable than a lot of older men out there.
& Unlike the Rest Of them he Started As A child
Yoooo Shia is dropping real truths here. For life, not just movies.
"Getting an honest laugh is very hard." That hit home..
What a human this guy is. Raw and open to the process, to the journey. It’s heartwarming to see another person find their way and being willing to live better. He’s exceptional.
D Leo
Get a life you jealous prick
@D Leo brie larson is that you?
I actually worked with Shia on this project in Los Angeles for a few months during filming. This dude was nothing but a class act when I was around in case you were wondering.
Shia if you ever see this, you are so inspiring and I am wishing you so much happiness and continued success. You totally deserve it.
Have you seen Honey Boy it’s very good!
@@DMRCapitalHill Tonight!!! I am so excited to cry my eyes out
D Leo
How ignorant can you be??
After seeing Honey Boy I just wanna give Shia a hug
Commander Keen oh shut the fuck up bitter weirdo
If you have not seen Honey Boy, please find the time to. It is incredible.
I love you Shia! Not pretentious just gratitude to his craft and his peers.
Love seeing Shia hanging with these legends. With enough time, he'll be held in the same regard someday.
The way Shia talks about Tom Hardy, you can tell the respect Hardy commands.
To me he sounds like he isn't a pleasant person
R H Nah I think he just takes acting and his job serious. Outside of that he’s seems pretty level headed and down to earth. Doesn’t buy into the fame or want to be considered a celebrity. But instead praised for his craft.
Manuel Usteri If you’ve seen Lawless. I actually think Hardy could’ve done this on purpose to bring out the performance in Shia. That domineering older brother type, reflects the film.
Edit- spelling
@@rh9645 I think that's a shallow take on what was said here.
@@rh9645 In all fairness, Shia himself is a pretty intense person like Tom Hardy and has had some clashes with a few other actors on other sets, but you put two intense actors together and that could happen.
The more I've seen Shia do these in depth looks within the last year the more respect I have for him and the more I've grown to love him as an actor.
Can't wait for the full table because this year looks like such a stacked roster.
It’s officially roundtable season and i am so here for it.
Who taught you the most?
Shia: *BOB*
Love love love this bit! And DeNiro just looking like he did his job haha!
Nina C. Sorry what does it mean? BOB:)
OXANA ORESHKINA Hahaha “Bob” is Robert DeNiro’s nickname. So Shia saying “Bob” (Robert) taught him so much in acting while DeNiro is just there infront of him is kinda a sweet moment. 😘
The fact that Shia also calls him Bob like they are close is also cute.
What an intimidating room. It’s like therapy. I’m rooting for Shia.
Now THAT's a table to be at!
When you guys releasing this full interview... That's some exceptional group of actors
Not till sometime after it airs on TV on January 5th
@@ejoshcoron thanks pal. preciate it
@@ejoshcoron Thank you I've been losing my mind wondering haha
It also comes on TV, and it may be on TV before it is online.
Where on tv can i watch this?
Always loved Shia. Since i first saw him in a movie i thought he is one of the most talented actors of his generation. He has that edge to him which is both his blessing and his curse.
Hope he gets to achieve great things in life and career while being able to keep the demons away.
“Empathy for my father” is very profound for me. Wow.
When Shia does an interview he says exactly what is on his mind! I love it!
I love how honest and open Shia is....he is proof that no matter what change is possible! He has grown so much and I respect him to the fullest! I hope he continues to do well 🙏
Even looking at this clip it seems evident to me that shias uncensored, unfiltered approach to every question set forth, shows every other legend at the table, up in a sense. They listened to a soul release his experience.. I really do wish all the best for Shia. Love from Ireland.
Shia is an interesting guy. Just look at the faces of all those guys at the table listening to his story. Captivating. And a damn good actor too
I hope someone talks about me the way Shia talks about Tom Hardy. It also shows that Shia has no ego on set and how respectful he is.
1:15
The way tom hanks was looking at Shia
He knows this kid is awesome!
He’s so well spoken and grounded. Happy for him
he deserves to be in that round table with those legends!
I've watched Shia from Even Stevens to being the "next big thing" during the Indiana Jones era to his mental health issues to now having 2 of the best movies of the year come out. Feel weirdly like a proud Mom.
Even,just an honest laugh is hard ..Shias a life role model for me so honest,real.
It’s so cool to see Shia at the same table as these legends!
Shia is so interesting. Deep person, cant wait to see Honey Boy.
did anyone else notice how tom looked at Shia? SO much admiration and respect
Love that Adam is at this table. He adds a different level - someone who is crazy compassionate. Not to say that the others arent as well - but Adam seems like the kind of guy who would really hear you and understand
His diction and his way of addressing his audience just makes you feel like he’s not talking to you but to your soul. Also, he did a complete 360 and it’s amazing seeing that. And it’s very brave to talk about what you went through in front of a whole audience and it only makes me respect Mr. LaBeouf even more.
Cindy Gomez real. He’s a real, soulful dude
Cindy Gomez he did a 180 love. 360 means he would be on a bender again.
byalmo91 true lol 😂
This kid has grown up so much. I have always been a fan of Shia, he always amde me laugh. I'm glad he has found his space to thrive and be himself
Wow, I often say that “my father is the biggest villain in my life” verbatim. You’ve given me something to think about, Shia.
I love his honesty and the respect the other actors have for him around the table.
Wow...I just gained some newfound respect for Shia. Didn't know he had a rough childhood and was emotionally abused by his dad. This autobiographical movie of his is a masterpiece. To hear the wisdom, forgiveness and empathy that he speaks with now for his father and also for his own struggles...and to come to terms with all that...besides the actual movie, THAT is his greatest achievement I think. KUDOS to him. Nothing but respect!
Yay!!! I love Shia LaBeouf. I'm so happy to see him at this table.
Shia has made such a mental and film related comeback. Good for him.
This is huge. Shia came a ways. He seems better in his mind. Seeing all these actors to in tune with his words is quite refreshing. I feel this is going to put him out there more so in a healthy way. A comeback story.
This kid is evolving into the most cerebral and conscientious contemporary talent in Hollywood.
D Leo
Jealous much??
D Leo don’t pull a muscle with that stretch.
He was already a great actor. Very excited for his next chapter in his career.
The greats at the table ... I'm glad to see Shia's acceptance by them, and high approval.
I bet his father was more proud seeing his son play him rather than mel gibson.
Dude is slowly become a top five greatest actor of all time in my book 🐐
Shia is already a legend
I am SO happy and proud of Shia. A Phoenix rising from the ashes. So much talent, heart and truth in him. I wish him NOTHING but the best.
What a great interview. I love how open he is especially saying those things about forgiving his father. Also love how he mentioned that Tom Hardy is intimidating.
I LOVE THIS DUDE!!! Rooting for his career so much
SHIA!! I could listen to him storytell for hours! I love how this dude bounced back from his bullshit! Can't wait to see where he is in 20 years.
I just love this man. So genuine. He has grown a lot the last years.
I feel his answers so badly. I can sympathize and empathize, but I’m also envious he was able to find his light within all that darkness. I’m struggling desperately to do that for myself.
i feel you. i'm in the opposite position he was in-i made excuses for my mom and her toxic behavior for a long time. "she was born in mexico. she had work the fields. she gave birth to a disabled daughter (me) her husband was abusive'. it's only recently a light has turned on that has said 'it's not an excuse and doesn't make it ok'. i can't find that love and light anymore.
@@Nazaba09 I'm in a similar position. I can empathise to an extent, but can't heal if I'm around the person who wounded me in the first place. And she'd deliberately keep ripping that wound open. I hope Shia's relationship with his dad doesn't do that, but having read an interview with him, I don't think he'll help 😔
U can do it, just study people who pulled through it, and emulate. U can do it to. Your strong. Check mike tyson podcast too, he is prime example of change. Peace.
i’m with you
Shia is such an honest and genuine soul. Love how much he's grown and look forward to seeing what he does next.
Best group they've ever had.
He sure has grown up. Smarter , wiser , more relaxed glad to see him happy
I totally empathize with shia and I'm glad that he's coming out of a really hard space in both his mind & heart.
Shia is one of my personal top 5 favorite actors because what he's been through and to overcome that obstacle is not an easy thing to do. I feel like this is his second wind and we are in for great movies to come.
The amount of talent in this table is breathtaking!!!!!
Shia is such a risk taker, I truly admire him. He seems super sensitive and honest. He'd have to keep himself in check emotionally everyday as he is a walking emotion, just hope he can keep his edge without hurting himself. Very gifted and truthful man. This looks like an incredible line up.
Shia is a genius. He will go down as a great actor and I hope more of this will come out it.
Wow it’s so awesome to see Shia doing great and I love it how everyone at the table is supporting him 👍🏻
Now this is something I been waiting for years! All my favorite actors in one place just talking about acting. Shia did an amazing job with Honeyboy I been a fan since Even Stevens and I have seen him grow up to become a tycoon in his field. I'm so glad he took a step back and decided to focus on what mattered to him the most and opened up the recreational center in South Central LA helping motivate kids that really need it.
Thank you Shia 🔥🔥🔥
Looking forward to seeing this roundtable in full
Love this round table and I LOVED Honey Boy. I was in tears by the end of it.
Love this man. He is a gift
I don’t know how I found this. But the actors here all together ....my mind is blown.
Real talk: Shia is deserving of a seat at that table. My favorite actor of all time is most definitely Dinero but Shia is right up there in skill man. That performance in Man Down was totally downplayed , overlooked and amazing. Highly recommend the movie strictly for his performance. I think it was a minor budget so some of the SFX seem off but the character he plays is terrific. Knew he was dope but once I seen that one I knew he was top tier. He will get an Oscar before I'm out the door, mark my words. True artist.
EDIT:
The only thing missing from this round table is Daniel Day Lewis and Leonardo DiCaprio...
EDIT 2 lol:
Crazy roundtable; Robert Dinero, Al Pacino, Tom Hanks, Daniel Day Lewis, Denzel Washington, Shia LaBeouf, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Tom Hardy. (MAKE IT HAPPEN lol)
I knew Shia as a child -- he use to come to my middle school to film Even Stevens and I always thought him kind and funny. But even then I knew his energy was different -- I've always respected him as a person and I can see he's had a tough time but he really has done some incredible films. Brad Pitt, Tom Hardy, and he in my opinion really was and is a creative genius. He really is.
Joaquin phoenix should be here too.
Take Brad Pitt out and I'm with you
I love his transparency.
Amazing table. Can’t wait.
Loved every second of this!! He is a true genius!!
Is anyone else anxiously waiting for this full interview to release as I am? This is most interesting group of actors I have ever seen come together for a discussion.
Can you imagine sitting at the same table as Tom Hanks and Robert DeNiro?!?!?! OMG, I would die. Shia is BACK. So proud of him. Love you, man.
The best guests at any roundtable
I love watching Shia in any craft he is a part of. He has a raw personality to him that not many have.
I’d really love to see Shia on The Joe Rogan Experience
I cannot wait to see this episode!!!!!
Damn I wanted to hear what Deniro had to say
Seeing shia like this just makes me want to quit drinking like actually quit this time and find help, hes really inspiring
You can do it, really do it this time if you put your mind to it!
Good luck to you and God bless~
@@dwntoobsnss2 thanks for this no lie seeing your comment helped right now, thanks god bless 🙏
@@brianm.890 yes! Like idk i always felt i needed to quit drinking at least cut back but just about 2 months ago i just felt that i want to quit now for myself i even had to cut some old friends off because they just didnt understand it like definitely not supportive. But thanks you guys im not 100% there yet but im gettin there
@@Ben-mc9nm I don't even know you and I am proud of you for the journey you are taking. I have no doubts you can do it, you are determined. 👏
@@Ben-mc9nm I hope your recovery is going well!
I needed this in my life. Thank you.
I'm so thankful that Shia is still here.
I've never done a bigger 180 on any person than i have on Shia, watch stuff on this guy recently and listening to him talk has me seeing a whole new person.
And he's a fucking incredible actor.
I don’t know why I read the title thinking Mel Gibson was Shia’s father.
its amazing dat i like all these guys on this table!
Too bad they couldn't get Joaquin Phoenix at the table. He doesn't like to do this kind of press, I guess.
holy crap, jaoquin and shia need to do a film together, that would be amazing
I totally agree, but think about that, throwing Joaquin into the mix as well, with Shia, Driver, DeNiro, Hanks...this would have to be a ten hour round table...and every minute would be gold!
Well, he never does these things and neither does Christian Bale. Bale was also great in Ford Vs Ferrari.
Freddie Grace So agree with Bale and Ford v Ferrari. Both Bale and Joaquin would be so cool for Actors on Actors!
Aaron D I don’t know if the world is ready
happy for shia, was going to join the peace corps and a couple years later he's sitting with some of the best actors in the world! wow!!!
wow cant wait to watch the full video!
I am dying to see this full episode of this season's Actors Roundtable, and I need to see it already I am sure it will be amazing.
I’m
So proud of Shia!!
“I wasn’t leading with love.” I felt that, big time.
You could tell every one of these great actors was blown away by Shia's honesty and depth, realizing that this young man actually had some real wisdom to share.
