Shia LaBeouf
A while back it was rumored that 19 year-old actor Shia LaBeouf (Charlies Angels: Full Throttle, Constantine, I, Robot) was approached to star in the upcoming adaptation Transformers. It was suggested that LaBeouf was in the running to play the young protagonist named Sam.
Considering that we had figured it was time for the young actor's career to blow up, the rumor seemed more than legit.
As it turns out, the rumor was true and LaBeouf is currently in negotiations to star in Transformers.
