And it’s not just girls, but LaBeouf has been very candid when the movies he’s been in haven’t lived up to his lofty expectations, trashing ‘Revenge of the Fallen,’ ‘Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ and even “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,” telling the magazine that the Oliver Stone film was too soft. “He’s trying to play nice. But for a movie like ‘Wall Street’ that had so much bite the first time around to come out without fangs and preach a message of hope wasn’t what people were looking for.”

But while the young LaBeouf is probably still finding out how to carry himself in Hollywood, Harrison Ford reveals he tried to set the actor right after his ‘Crystal Skull’ comments. “I think I told him he was a fucking idiot,” Ford says. “As an actor, I think it’s my obligation to support the film without making a complete ass of myself. Shia is ambitious, attentive, and talented—and he’s learning how to deal with a situation which is very unique and difficult.”

For an actor who is looking to break out of tentpole land, a little humility will go a long, long way but he hasn’t found it yet. LaBeouf claims that though movies like “The Bourne Legacy,” “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” “127 Hours” and “The Social Network” came his way, they didn’t meet the high standard of quality he aspires to. “I’m looking for Warren Beatty—type game changers,” says the “Eagle Eye” and “Disturbia” actor.

You can see LaBeouf’s Beatty-like performance in the game-changing “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” when it opens tomorrow.
