12. Shai LaBeouf
In the 2000s, LaBeouf got attention as the goofball Louis on the hit Disney Channel show Even Stevens. He was soon graduating to Hollywood from major franchises like Transformers and Indiana Jones to Fury and seemed ready to rise as a dependable character actor. Right at that period, LaBeouf suddenly began to embark on a series of crazy incidents that seemed to go out of their way to ruin his stardom. In 2005, he attacked a neighbor and in 2007 arrested for shoplifting a Walmart, which he claimed was research for a role. He was soon arrested a few times for drinking and driving, a crash and in 2014, making an outburst at a club, arrested while hurling racist slurs at the cops. That’s been added onto by accusation of plagiarizing the work of others in his short films which LaBeouf responded by claiming copyright laws “stifled creativity.” Then came his “living art” exhibit at a museum that he claimed led to a woman assaulting him and showing up at a red carpet event with a bag over his head saying “I am not famous anymore.” Sadly, LaBeouf is famous as a guy who seemed to have a good career ahead and chose to toss it all away.
