Shia Saide LaBeouf Celebrates both Christmas and Hanukkah. Wears a size-11 shoe. When he was a guest on "Late Show with David Letterman" (1993) during the hype for Transformers (2007), Dave asked Shia how his name originated. Shia responded saying that the name "Shia" was Hebrew for Praise God and his last name "LaBeouf" was French for Beef,( Wears a size-11 shoe!!!!.) hence the phrase "Praise God for Beef".
