Shia LaBeouf: "Celebrities Are Enslaved Bodies"

Shia LaBeouf recently talked about living life as a celebrity. 
 












In an interview with Variety, LaBeouf, 28, said: "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 actor went on: "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," adding: "The star is a byproduct of the machine age, a relic of modernist ideals. It's outmoded."
