Can YOU give Shia LaBeouf a lift? Hollywood star is hitch-hiking across America for a month with rides from Twitter fans for his latest bizarre art piece

He's worn a paper bag over his head, ridden a lift for 24 hours and is now hitch-hiking for his latest piece of art. 

Since May 23 actor Shia LaBeouf has been on a roadtrip from Boulder, Colorado, to wherever anyone who picks him up wants to take him.

Along with collaborators Nastja Rönkkö and Luke Turner, LaBeouf is documenting his adventures on social media and on a real time map.

Actor Shia LaBeouf announced on May 23 that he is setting out on a month-long roadtrip from Boulder, Colorado, to wherever his drivers wish to take him

Some fans managed to track down the star from his Twitter updates that included his coordinates. They ended up having lunch with the star at Oskar Blues Brewery in Longmont, Colorado

Shia LaBeouf will be harnessing the power of the Twitter tag #TAKEMEANYWHERE - and inviting followers to take him wherever they are going.

The project has been commissioned by the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art and The Finnish Institute in London, which will both feature a film of the experience upon its completion.

Vice are also involved and will be posting the group's progress on a map. 

While talking toVice about the aim of the trip, LaBeouf said it is all about making friends, and elaborated: 'Hitchhiking is really the ultimate collab.'

In the group's inaugural journey, they didn't venture far, ending up at Oskar Blues Brewery in Longmont, Colorado.

A group of young guys were the first to track the star down and they uploaded a video of their two-hour race against time to reach the bar before LaBeouf moved on.

Upon arrival the five friends discovered they weren't too late and were treated to lunch by LaBeouf. 

During the meal they shared cigarettes and stories about the star's childhood and found out more about the project.

Glanton said to Time: 'To have everyone sitting down there, having lunch with him, it was so cool that he was so receiving. He was more humble than you can ever imagine.' 

According to one of the fans, Brandon Glanton, the actor told the group how his father was a circus clown who juggled trained chickens.

Even though hitch-hiking can be considered dangerous at times, LaBeouf said during the meal that he is not fearful of getting hurt during the project.

'He said "I just don't think that's going to happen",' said Daniel Rachlitz, 25, who was also part of the group. 'He said people could be violent or crazy, but he's not worried about it.'

In the lead-up to the hitch-hike announcement, LaBeouf had teased fans with hints, by sharing coordinates on his Twitter feed. These spelled out the project when plotted on Google Earth

For the past two weeks, LaBeouf has been teasing fans with hints about the roadtrip by sharing coordinates on his Twitter feed. 

If you plotted the points on Google Earth, the map revealed a letter, which ended up spelling the title of the project, Take Me Anywhere.

The stunt is the latest in a string of avant-garde art performances that LaBeouf has attempted over the past few years. 

In 2014, the star took part in a gallery piece called #IAMSORRY and last year he did a marathon film viewing project entitled #ALLMYMOVIES, where he watched all of his movies back-to-back for 72-hours straight.

SHIA LABEOUF'S RECENT ART PERFORMANCES 

The star's new hitch-hiking project is just one of many unusual project over the past few years. 

In 2014, the star hosted a gallery piece called #IAMSORRY at The Cohen gallery on Beverly Boulevard.

LaBeouf tweeted the hashtag to fans to mark the start of the exhibit, along with the phrase 'I am not famous anymore.' 

The art installation featured a table containing a variety of objects for fans to pick up, seemingly relating to the actor.

They included an Indiana Jones whip; a model Transformer from Shia's breakthrough movie; a bouquet of daisies; a pink ukulele, a bottle of Jack Daniel's whiskey, a basket of abusive tweets, Hershey Kisses and a book by Daniel Clowes - the author he was accused of plagiarising.

Included in the installation was a paper bag bearing the words, 'I am not famous anymore,' which he wore a few days later on the red carpet at the Berlin Film Festival for his new film Nymphomaniac Volume I. 

Last November, the eccentric actor launched a live art installation at the Angelika Film Centre in New York entitled #ALLMYMOVIES. 

The star had announced that he would be watching all of his movies back to back in reverse chronological order, where patrons can join him free of charge.

He later included his fans around the world too by setting a camera up just feet from his face, so everyone could watch him watching himself.

Earlier this year, LaBeouf spent an entire day in an Oxford University lift.

As part of his art piece, entitled #Elevate, students queued up to speak with the Transformers actor who spent 24 hours in the elevator, leaving only briefly to deliver a talk at the students’ union.

The entire performance was live-streamed on Youtube and broadcast in the union debating chamber, because he said that if it was not streamed, 'it becomes elitist'.
