Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan walk Shia’s bulldog in Hollywood where I have to say Shia looks like he’s grown up in the last year.  A lot.  Maybe it’s the facial hair, I don’t know.  Shia recently shared his ‘process’ as he prepares for his movies:

“With Indiana Jones, I learned fencing the way Errol Flynn did it and when I made Transformers, it was commedia dell’arte, 16th century stuff,” “I try to learn something with each project. Mostly I play an average kid in situations.

“It’s great to actually learn something about the role so you can have clout on the set. So you can look at older actors and know what they know.”

And for his upcoming role as a hedge fund manager in Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps (where Carey Mulligan also stars along with a ton of big name celebrities) he got super lean:

“I have trouble putting on weight but, anyway, in this case I have to be skinny because hedge funders are big in cardio. They’re lean.”

Maybe it’s because I’m not an actor, maybe it’s because I went to sleep at 4 a.m. and really need to be sleeping now, maybe it’s because there doesn’t seem to be enough caffeine in the world to give me that ‘up’ feeling that I wish I had at this very moment in time, but I just don’t get the correlations between the characters he plays and his ‘process’.
