Streamer dariusirl crossed paths with Shia LaBeouf in the middle of Mardi Gras festivities on New Orleans’ Bourbon Street and managed to get the encounter on camera.
The livestream clip shows Darius approaching LaBeouf in a packed nightlife setting. Darius opens with an awkward question: “Are you a famous person?”
LaBeouf responds with a simple “No,” and quickly moves on. The entire interaction lasts seconds. The setting was classic Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras—dense crowds, party atmosphere, and plenty of cameras. LaBeouf appeared to be walking through the area without any visible security detail.
LaBeouf has a long history of public incidents that have made headlines over the years. The actor previously faced arrests for disorderly conduct and public intoxication. In 2020, musician FKA twigs filed a lawsuit against him alleging assault and emotional distress. LaBeouf has also spoken publicly about struggles with substance use and mental health.
The actor rose to fame on Disney Channel’s Even Stevens before landing major film roles in Transformers, Holes, and Fury. He later became an internet fixture through his “Just Do It” motivational video and the “He Will Not Divide Us” performance art project.
Some online reports claim LaBeouf was involved in an altercation in the same area around the same time, but these details remain unverified. No official police records or credible news sources have confirmed any incident.
