Born Shia Saide LaBeouf on June 11, 1986, in Los Angeles, CA, LaBeouf was raised by his performer parents in the working class neighborhood of Echo Park. The stage gene was clearly passed from parents to son at birth, as LaBeouf began performing stand-up at local clubs while still in grade school – all in a means of assisting his cash-strapped family.
