Love him or hate him one thing is certain Shia LaBeouf has always been headline grabbing and for the wrong reasons. Now it seems the Indiana Jones actor has had enough of life in the public eye and is throwing in the towel.

Following a much publicized case of plagiarism and its ensuing fallout, the actor has announced over Twitter that he is "retiring from all public life". Since appearing in a movie is about as public as you can get, we can assume that this statement means there will be no more Shia LaBeouf movies.
LaBeouf says the move is due to "the recent attacks against my artistic integrity," referring to his highly publicized plagiarism of Daniel Clowes' graphic novel Justin M. Damiano. LaBeouf's short film HowardCantour.com was a blatant rip-off of Justin M. Damiano, and to make matters worse, when he tried to apologize to Clowes, he did so using plagiarized apologies from other celebrities!
He was also criticized by many other high-profile actors for his subsequent Bleeding Cool interview, in which he stated that "Authorship is censorship. ... Simple - should creation have to check with a lawyer?"
