Shia Labeouf won’t attend ‘Nymphomaniac’ premiere

Shia Labeouf will not attend the Nymphomaniac premiere in New York next Thursday (March 13), according to the New York Post's Page Six. Though he is blaming a scheduling conflict, the 27-year-old actor has been vocal about a desire to ''retire'' from the public eye after he was accused of plagiarising author Daniel Clowes' graphic novellas for his short film HowardCantour.com. Taking to Twitter earlier this year, he wrote: ''In light of the recent attacks against my artistic integrity, I am retiring from all public life.'' Shia made headlines in February when he stormed out of a Nymphomaniac press conference in Berlin before arriving on the red carpet for the film's German premiere wearing a paper bag on his head that said, ''I am not famous anymore.'' He also starred in his own silent art installation in Los Angeles, which invited visitors to choose from various ''implements'' associated with the actor's career, including a whip similar to the one in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and a bowl of folded notes, each bearing Twitter comments about Shia, before they are led into a room to see the actor sitting at a table with the now-famous brown bag over his head.
He seems really screwed up.
He seems such a pain in the A. Talk about fame going to your head. I knew he had talent when he was a kid but I have lost patience with his arrogance. He needs to get real. Its pathetic. He’s so lucky and privileged but it is apparent that he makes life for others around him painful. Perhaps he should give up acting and become a cage fighter.
