Shia LaBeouf isn’t exactly our cup of tea, but we ain’t mad at the new video from Sigur Rós, in which the hot-tempered Transformers star bares all.
Fjögur Píanó, directed by Alma Har’el, is the first part in a series of videos created for the Icelandic band’s new album, Valtari. It’s part of the Sigur Rós Mystery Film Experiment, in which the band gave a dozen filmmakers free rein in creating a video for one of the tracks on the album.
LaBeouf, who created the video with Har’el, stars alongside Denna Thomsen as a dysfunctional couple trapped in a perpetual cycle of addiction and abuse. “We really had no idea what to expect from Alma,” bassist Georg Holm told Rolling Stone. “Originally she was going to film us on Super-8 in Iceland all playing the piano lines from the song, but then she rang and said she’d met Shia LaBeouf and they’d changed the idea. That was the last we heard of the concept and she told us nothing about what was going on. At first I didn’t know what to make of the video, because it is so full of ideas and confusion, but now I completely love it. It seems to have no beginning and no end, and just makes you think about what might and might not be going on.”
We’re pretty sure the band’s openly gay lead singer, Jónsi, didn’t mind how the clip turned out either.
How about we take this to the next level?

pretentious drivel. I want my 4 minutes back.

No wonder he’s an angry asswipe — he has a small penis
Jonathonz
What. a. babe.

Shia LaBeouf is a closet queen; but which young male actor isn’t these days?
um ya
@Chrissypoo:
Penis size when flaccid has no relation to it’s size when erect.
When you grow up you will understand that there are more to people then just their dick.

Agree. Weird to say something about penis size based on flacid state. I guess someone’s been looking at too many porn movies. Men don’t walk around with semi-erect dicks as normal course of their day or when they are doing some kind of art piece, unless its something like porn as art, but the later is rare.
I am not a fan of the actor (or I should say his movies since I found them boring), but I think its cool that he would so something like this. Its always good to see someone doing something different.

@um ya: He has personally admitted in interviews that he has a small penis. So hes a shower not a grower i guess, and not much of a shower at that…

Oh lol just found this article from 2009

It’s got some nice imagery but it wasn’t great. It nice to finally see Shia naked and I’m not impressed, not his dick size but that hair and beard It takes him from sexy to sloppy. He’s a good looking guy but not with this dingy, greasy look (but I understand that was the look they were going for in this piece)

@Bailey: “pretentious drivel. I want my 4 minutes back.”
Translation: “I don’t get it. But since I don’t want to be called provincial and stupid, I’ll do something provincial and stupid by calling the work ‘pretentious’ even though I don’t know the rationale behind the piece.”

@UsualPlayers: “I guess someone’s been looking at too many porn movies.”
Um. Looking at too much porn will let you know that you can never judge penis size on a flaccid state. Trust.

@Sabatghzl1098: Ew… old fart.

Is he cut or uncut? Since he’s doing a side-frontal rather than a proper frontal, it’s hard to tell.
TracyDom
Why are there so many people fixated on the penis size of a man they’ll probably never meet?
Big or small, he’s not putting it in any of your orifices anytime soon.
UsualPlayers
No you really can’t. After having dated guys who watched too much porn I can tell you their understanding of how sex and the body really works is very limited rather than expanded because they have no sense of reality. So I call b.s.

@TracyDom: “Big or small, he’s not putting it in any of your orifices anytime soon.” Praise the Lord for that.

So the openly gay lead singer makes a video that promotes heteronormativity – such trash. I am sick of gay men who do this. Fuck off to the gay lead singer.
UsualPlayers
On the flip side, can the puritans please give it a rest. People fantasize about having sex with people that they aren’t going to have sex with all the time. That’s what fantasy is all about. If they were just fantasizing about people they have had sex with or are about to have sex with – most of the film industry and literature would not exist.

@jason: ““We really had no idea what to expect from Alma,” bassist Georg Holm told Rolling Stone.”
Please read. Jonsi made nothing. Calm down.

Do we really have to watch 8 minutes to see the good part? That’s a big problem today….nobody knows how to freaking EDIT anymore.
llere
that was sooooooo boring

Serves as a good reminder that most actors were and are still the weird theater kids from high school.

Never mind looking at his penis [what we could see of it]…its that facial scruff I found distracting. Shia…get a shave!

Who said that actors should look like models? Or pornstars?
I watched the video (I’m a huge fan of Sígur Ros) and his nakedness didn’t seem other than vulnerable, since that’s what was depicted in the video. He’s dirty? He’s small? He’s a hippie?
I don’t mind. I don’t find him attractive, but I didn’t have to; the video wasn’t created to watch a hunk and his gorgeous dick. Or was it?
