Meanwhile, he was also getting recognised as a solo actor.
LeBeouf played real-life golfer Francis Ouimet in a rags-to-riches story, produced again by Disney.
Wanting to move away from 'the Disney image', he soon did his first nude scene in the movie Bobby, where he strips naked during an LSD trip -- yup, decidedly un-Disney, that.
2007 was a big year for him. He starred in Disturbia, a Rear Window remake which won him good reviews and quite a bit of media attention.
Then came the animated Surf's Up, and finally, came Transformers, where executive producer Spielberg cast him personally.
