Shia LaBeouf Says Celebrities Are 'Enslaved' Bodies

Shia LaBeouf recently opened up about living life as a celebrity!

“As a celebrity/star I am not an individual – I am a spectacular representation of a living human being, the opposite of an individual. The enemy of the individual, in myself as well as in others. The celebrity/star is the object of identification, with the shallow seeming life that has to compensate for the fragmented productive specializations which are actually lived,” the 28-year-old actor shared to Variety.

He added, “The requirements to being a star/celebrity are namely, you must become an enslaved body. Just flesh – a commodity, and renounce all autonomous qualities in order to identify with the general law of obedience to the course of things. The star is a byproduct of the machine age, a relic of modernist ideals. It’s outmoded.”
