Shia LaBeouf: Juiced About Big Screen Success

His new movie “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” is tearing up the box office, and Shia LaBeouf is experiencing a new career high.

The “Constantine” actor was spotted stopping by Robeks Juice yesterday for an energy drink prior to a breakfast meeting at Paty’s restaurant in Los Angeles.

And he looked to be in a hurry as he dashed across the parking lot sporting a ball cap, white t-shirt, skinny jeans, and a pair of retro-looking Nike running shoes.

As a result of his role in “Indiana Jones” critics are drawing parallels and comparisons to Marlon Brando’s character in “The Wild One.” Shia told press, “Steven [Spielberg, director] wrote a little note on my script that said, `OK, now it’s time to transform yourself into Mutt! Signed, Steven,’ and then he gave me three movies to watch- ‘Blackboard Jungle,’ ‘Rebel Without a Cause’ and — wouldn’t you know it? — ‘The Wild One.’ As though I was supposed to go home and watch `The Wild One’ and go, `Oh yeah, I see how Marlon Brando did it!’”
