Edinburgh locals aghast as Hollywood star 'gyrates against stage' at live music bar

Hollywood actor Shia LaBeouf was spotted in a popular Edinburgh club throwing out some eyebrow-raising dance moves.

On Tuesday, September 2, Stramash nightclub was full of partygoers, including the Transformers star who was seen dancing extremely close to the stage.

In a peculiar video shared with Edinburgh Live, LaBeouf was gyrating as fellow revellers looked on bemused from the dance floor at around 1.30am.

The 38-year-old, who has been enjoying some time in the capital city, faced the speaker while he slowly thrust towards it as Stevie Wonder's Superstition played on.

His hands gripped the top of the stage while one punter who noticed the strange dance moves started to praise LaBeouf - who was sporting a navy raincoat and a baseball cap on the night out.

Another video shared across social media shows the Distrubia actor having a 'stand-off' with locals outside in the Cowgate.

Pals appear to hold the pair back as, at what point, a clearly animated LaBeouf hurls his cap to the ground before gesticulating wildly.

A man can be seen intervening between the actor and a local - by standing between them and ushering LaBeouf away while the two men yell at each other across the street.

The Disturbia actor begins to walk down the road before quickly returning to the group throwing his cap away and continuing to shout.

Three men then huddle around him as one wraps his arms around the actor to hold him back again before LaBeouf, 38, is filmed walking away.

LaBeouf has been photographed throughout the week in Edinburgh while his wife Mia Goth is filming in Scotland for the upcoming Frankenstein film.

On TikTok, one fan shared a selfie with the actor. He shared that he was in his local 'dive bar' on Sunday night. The punter added: "Absolute legend. So friendly and down to earth."

Other Edinburgh locals have said to have seen him at Ensign Ewart pub on the Royal Mile, and others saw him in the Cowgate sporting a full beard and a navy raincoat.
