WATCH: Shia LaBeouf Screaming

Shia LaBeouf wants you to succeed. He wants you to never give up. He wants you to JUST. DO. IT. This is not a campaign for Nike, this is just phase number (uh, we’ve lost track) in Shia’s awakening. In the following clip of Shouting LaBeouf, you will experience several emotions:
1. Laughter
2. Why? Whyyyyyyy? WHY?
3. Is that a rat tail?
4. Laughter
5. Is that a braided rat tail?
6. Motivation
7. Gratitude
8. Shock
Yes, it does appear there is a braided rat tail flailing off of the actor’s head, but that’s not the point (also, what are your feels on the new ‘do?). The point is that Shia has provided the world with enough motivation to compete in Iron Man, bake a lasagna, quit your shitty job, maybe even tightrope over Niagara Falls. He wants you to achieve all of your day dreams big and small and he doesn’t understand why you keep giving up. So go ahead, try out for Pippin, take the Polar Plunge, go off the grid, “WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?”
Who can we thank for this special segment? In part with Central Saint Martins (CSM) of the University of the Arts London, LaBeouf created the inspirational video for CSM BA Fine Art 2015 students. If this doesn’t wake them up to the endless possibilities the real world welcomes, what will? Also, can you please give a speech to my graduating class next year? If he decides to go on a motivational speaking tour, I’ll be first in line.
The full 31 minute video can be found on Vimeo, but the ranting clip is right below. His closing stance may be the greatest thing I’ve ever seen to date. NOW GO CHASE YOUR DREAMS, DAMMIT.
