We’ve come to expect pretty much anything from Shia LaBeouf at this point.

A braided rattail hairstyle? Sure. A claim of rape during an art exhibit? Sounds about right.

A crazy, out of control motivational rant in front of a green screen that makes little to no sense on its surface? Yup, that has happened as well.

While contorting himself, doubling over and doing other weird motions, the actor screams on camera:

"Just DO IT! Don’t let your dreams be dreams. Yesterday, you said tomorrow. So just do it!!… What are you waiting for?! DO IT! JUST DO IT! YES YOU CAN! JUST DO IT! If you’re tired of starting over, STOP GIVING UP!"

So, is this just another example of Shia LaBeouf having gone off the reservation? Not quite.

The star was participating in a video-art project called #Introductions for Central Saint Martins, a London arts college.

Each student in the class was tasked with writing a short script for LaBeouf to perform, with instructions saying it can be as “poetic, abstract or literal” as each student desires.

This marks the latest piece of performance art Shia has done with British artist Luke Turner and Finnish artist Nastja Säde Rönkkö.

The first involved him donning a paper bag over his head at a movie premiere, one that read “I am not famous anymore” in black marker
