Obsessively. For the past two months, he's conducted practice interviews over the phone with his therapist, anticipating all of the possible scenarios, workshopping his responses to my questions. It's been a long time since Vanity Fair put him on the cover of its August 2007 issue, wearing a spacesuit over a suit-suit (it looks as awkward as it sounds), and heralded him at age twenty-one as "the Next Tom Hanks." More than a decade on, LaBeouf's arc is less a stratospheric ascent than a misguided rocket wobbling across the sky, strewing wreckage.
Yes, LaBeouf is the guy who was handed a golden ticket and promptly lit it on fire. | | | | | |  | | |
