Shia LaBoeuf, star of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull talks to RALPH about ugly guys kissing hot girls on screen.

Getting into acting
To be popular, I was the comedy guy who would talk constantly and rap and make fun of people. Then I met a kid at a 4th of July picnic in Malibu called Shawn Toovey, an actor on Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman. When he mentioned he only attended school three hours a day, I was hooked. I hated school.

Comparisons
I get compared to any dark-haired actor who's no Adonis – Tom Hanks, John Cusack, Dustin Hoffman. And Tobey Maguire and Johnny Depp. Between Spider-Man and Pirates of the Caribbean it opened doors for the ugly guys to be able to kiss girls on screen.
