We don’t really talk about him much, but we need to give a shout-out to Shia LaBeouf – he turns 26 today! Hard to believe, isn’t it? It seems like just yesterday he was goofy, little Louis Stevens. The boy who we neverinamillionyears would’ve guessed would grow up to be such a heartthrob. In fact, a lot of stars who played unpopular and/or less-than-attractive characters have done that, so we felt the need to put together this list of reasons why you should always be nice to the weirdo in class (based on these fine-lookin’ male hotties)…
1. This transformation could happen…

2. Similarly, he could pull a Rupert Grint…

4. He could chop off his locks and turn out hotter than Harry freakin’ Potter like Darren Criss…

5. One word: Puberty. (Just look at Neville Longbottom AKA Matt Lewis!)

6. Yes, he could end up dorky like Michael Cera. But just remember, he is loaded makes quite a nice living.

7. This could be underneath the sweater vests. Lookin’ good, Kevin McHale!

8. He could turn into a genius billionaire a la Mark Zuckerberg. (Jesse Eisenberg‘s just more fun to look at in this instance.)
