Shia LaBeouf: “I’m an ordinary dude in extraordinary situations”

On the eve (almost) of the release of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” Paul Byrne of Movies.ie talked to Shia LaBeouf, who plays Sam Witwicky in the robot sequel.

LaBeouf talks about growing up poor, living in a car with his dad, being rebellious, and getting arrested “for stupid stuff.” Is it just me, or does he get a little defensive in this interview?
