Can you tell which Hollywood weirdo did what?

Did Shia LaBeouf Or James Franco Do This Crazy Thing?

Back in November 2015 he rented out the Anjelica theater in New York City and [watched his entire acting career](https://www.buzzfeed.com/danieldalton/shia-love) before his very eyes. It was also livestreamed.

Shia!

Who didn't leave a movie theater for three days while he watched all of his movies consecutively?

He [married](http://www.tmz.com/2016/10/10/shia-labeouf-mia-goth-married/) his longtime girlfriend Mia Goth in October of 2016.

Who got married in a Las Vegas chapel and streamed the occasion on TMZ?

He played a villain named Franco (duh) on _General Hospital_.

James!

Who once joined the cast of a long-running soap opera?

In February 2016 he spent [a full day in an elevator](https://www.buzzfeed.com/rossalynwarren/elevate-shia) in Oxford hanging out with fans. Again, livestreamed.

Who occupied an elevator for 24 hours straight?

Shia hired an airplane to write "I am sorry Daniel Clowes" over Los Angeles after he was [accused](https://www.buzzfeed.com/jordanzakarin/shia-labeouf-apologizes-skywriting-daniel-clowes-shoots-down) of plagiarizing the author's work.

Who once apologized through skywriting?

It happened at Sundance, but it didn't [stay there](https://www.buzzfeed.com/whitneyjefferson/james-franco-and-zachary-quinto-kiss-in-slow-motion).

Who kissed Zachary Quinto in slow motion for a New York Times video?

For the record, he blamed the [entire incident](https://www.buzzfeed.com/lyapalater/shia-labeouf-tells-the-tale-of-why-he-was-arrested-during-a) on whiskey.

Who was arrested during a Broadway performance of _Cabaret_?

Yep, Shia holed himself up on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles with a bag over his head for a week in 2014. Visitors were allowed to go inside and [interact with him](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6rDDZioHoM), and let me tell you from experience: IT WAS WEIRD.

Who sat in a room for days with a bag over his head that read "I am not famous anymore"?

Yep, James did that to a sock on a [the livestream](https://www.buzzfeed.com/jimdalrympleii/watch-james-franco-twerk-with-a-cat-paint-with-peanut-butter).

Who did whatever his fans wanted for an hour on a livestream, including making out with a sock?

He was [arrested](https://www.buzzfeed.com/tamerragriffin/shia-labeouf-was-arrested-at-anti-trump-protest) at the scene of his "He Will Not Divide Us" [protest](https://www.buzzfeed.com/erinchack/i-went-to-shia-labeoufs-he-will-not-divide-us-art-installmen) installation against Donald Trump.

And finally, which of these two dudes was arrested in 2017?

You know enough to tell the difference between James Franco and Shia LaBeouf, but do you _really, actually know them on the inside_? Study up and try again.
