TRANSFORMERS - LABEOUF GAVE UP ON RAP CAREER

TRANSFORMERS star SHIA LaBEOUF wanted to abandon his acting career to become a rapper - but gave up when he realised it "wasn't his forte".
The 21-year-old is a big fan of hip-hop music and its culture, and he was convinced he would be able to emulate his idols with the launch of his own rap career.
But the actor soon discovered he wasn't as good a lyricist as he'd first thought.
He says, "Like every other Jewish guy, I went through a stage of wanting to be black. A few years ago I convinced myself I was a gangsta rapper and I started writing songs.
"But I realised it wasn't my forte."
