Shia LaBeouf Analyzed by James Franco in New Essay

Shia LaBeouf and his girlfriend Mia Goth stock up on groceries at Gelson’s on Sunday (February 23) in Van Nuys, Calif.

The 27-year-old actor was just analyzed by James Franco in a piece he wrote for the New York Times.

“This behavior could be a sign of many things, from a nervous breakdown to mere youthful recklessness,” James wrote. “For Mr. LaBeouf‘s sake I hope it is nothing serious. Indeed I hope – and, yes, I know that this idea has pretentious or just plain ridiculous overtones – that his actions are intended as a piece of performance art, one in which a young man in a very public profession tries to reclaim his public persona.”

FYI: Mia is wearing Levi’s jeans.
