With his recent appearance on the Grammy’s, Shia LaBeouf shocked not only the audience, but also singer, Sia, when he read a love letter to her as the introduction to her performance. That’s not the only reason he’s been catching the attention of the paparazzi lately. As most recently seen in Fury, this action-film star has a new style, one that includes a rattail. He’s shaved portions of each side of his head with the rattail trailing down in between his shoulder blades, and has been seen sporting an eyebrow piercing to go along with this punk look.

Rumors have been floating around that the cause of the drastic appearance change is for a role in an upcoming movie. Apparently this is nothing compared to other stunts LaBeouf has pulled to get roles and push his acting to the limits, including pulling out his own tooth and cutting his own face, according to ET.

As of right now it’s not clear as to why the 28-year-old looks like a motorcycle gang member, but girlfriend, Mia Goth, doesn’t seem to mind being seen with him despite the changes. The two were spotted kissing on a mall escalator a few days post the airing of the Grammy Awards, Daily Mail confirmed.

As a costar in Sia’s music video for “Elastic Heart,” LaBeouf played an intense role. It’ll be interesting to see where his new rattail hairstyle takes him next.
