Shia LaBeouf won’t get caught sleeping through his movies again — thanks to an artistically inclined fan who met up with him at his Manhattan movie screening.
Teela Wyman, a 23-year-old graphic designer, decided to leave her Manhattan apartment to do something fun after spending the past few months in and out of hospitals for cancer treatments.
“I just got fed up and decided I wanted to do something a little weird,” she said.
She headed Wednesday afternoon to the Angelika Film Center, where LaBeouf was in the middle of hosting a three-day binge session of all his movies.
While waiting to get inside the small theater, Wyman ran into a few people creating “Transformer” masks out of cardboard.
“One handed me some cardboard and a Sharpie and said, ‘Here, make a mask.'”
Wyman, who worked as an illustrator prior to her sickness, got to work — creating a realistic replica of LaBeouf’s face.
She mustered up the courage to give the mask to her childhood celebrity crush.
“He thought it was cool, but he was very tired,” she said. “He’d been napping in the theater when I walked in. He wasn’t in great shape.”
“Shia LaBeouf is sleeping through all the Transformers movies,” one person tweeted. “HE MUST UNDERSTAND THE PAIN.”
His stint at the downtown movie theater is his latest dive into performance art.
Last February, he did a five-day show in Los Angeles where he had one-on-ones with visitors while wearing the infamous “I am not famous anymore” paper bag over his head.
LaBeouf later said he was raped by a woman during the performance.
