Shia LaBeouf showed remarkable maturity while in France, as he was pestered by aggressive fans seeking multiple selfies and autographs. 

The 38-year-old actor – who is promoting his documentary Slauson Rec at the Cannes Film Festival – was irritated after he was approached by swarm of aggressive fans and autograph seekers, TMZ reported. 

At one point, one of the fans told the mercurial actor that they were such a ‘big fan,’ that they had traveled from Greece to France to see him. 

The resilient Hollywood star looked the man in the face and asked him, ‘What do you need?’

The man replied ‘a photo,’ after which LaBeouf posed for selfies with the fan from Greece – and a series of other fans before getting irritated – when they invaded his personal space and tried to take additional photos with him. 

The Los Angeles native appeared annoyed, but kept his composure, eventually informing the more aggressive fans they needed to back off of him.

LaBeouf eventually appeared to realize it was impossible to satisfy the selfie seekers, who were always hoping for one more shot with him 

‘Please leave me alone leave me alone – get off of me,’ the Fury actor said. ‘Back off, you got [your picture] four or five times. 

The Peanut Butter Falcon star added, ‘Leave me alone bro, I don’t want to f***ing trip out, leave me alone dog.’

The Honey Boy actor showed poise in the incident, as he has past been involved in problematic situations linked to bad decision-making.

The Megalopolis actor sported a mustache while out in France with his hair slicked back.

He looked stylish in with a black long-sleeved sweatshirt with patterns of trees on them. 

The Transformers star rounded out his casual ensemble with highwater navy blue pants and black shoes.

LaBeouf is in France appearing in support of the documentary Slauson Rec from Leo Lewis O’Neil, which chronicles problems attached to a theater organization he put together seven years ago.

LaBeouf, who said he ‘fully’ endorses the project is said to be temperamental at times in the documentary.

According to Variety, the documentary – which runs two-and-a-half hours – was well received, as it received a two-minute ovation on Sunday at the Grand Palais.

LaBeouf says as the film starts, according to Variety: ‘I’ve done a lot of coming to terms with the failure that was my life, and the plastic foundation I had.

He added: ‘I left a lot of people in the wake of my personality defects.’
