9. “I’m Not Famous Anymore”
Shia Labeouf, the ever so enigmatic actor and artist had once put a paper bag over his head with the words “I’m not famous anymore” written on it. Shia did this on the premiere of Nymphomaniac, a film that was itself very controversial. What would push an undeniable famous young man to pull a stunt like this? Prior to this, he had some trouble with literary fans when he was accused of plagiarizing some parts of a short story for his film. Because of the accusations, he hired a skywriter to write an apology over the LA Sky. He then Tweeted “I am not famous anymore.” The paper bag mask then made a reappearance at his performance art piece entitled #IAMSORRY where he would just sit in an empty room and have people come in and say anything to him.
