Shia LaBeouf stole the show as Louis Stevens, the annoying-yet-lovable black sheep little brother who was always dreaming, scheming, and stealing the spotlight from his two "perfect" older siblings. His signature scream is nostalgic now to fans of a bygone Disney Channel era. After packing up his child-sized Hawaiian shirts when the show ended in 2003, LaBeouf transitioned quickly from TV star to movie star, starring in Disney's "Holes" the same year (via IMDb). LaBeouf became a leading man in the blockbuster "Transformers" franchise, as well as in "Disturbia," "Eagle Eye," and "Fury" alongside Brad Pitt. The actor also found success as a writer with his semi-autobiographical 2019 film "Honey Boy."
According to Time, the man behind Louis Stevens has found himself entangled with the law on multiple occasions since 2009, when he faced criminal trespassing charges for an incident that happened on his 21st birthday. The actor has also spent nights in jail for various disorderly conduct and public intoxication charges over the years.
On December 11, 2020, former girlfriend and artist FKA Twigs filed a lawsuit against the former Stevens accusing the actor of "sexual battery, assault and infliction of emotional distress" in Los Angeles Supreme Court, as reported by The New York Times. According to Radar Online, FKA Twigs and LaBeouf agreed to postpone their next scheduled trial hearing until May 2, 2022. In the meantime, the actor and his on-again, off-again significant other, actress Mia Goth, have welcomed their first child together, according to Entertainment Tonight.
