Considering Shia LaBeouf‘s performance art pieces, controversial headlines, and acting career, it is no surprise to see he has been casted to play the notoriously temperamental tennis giant, John McEnroe in an upcoming biopic. The movie will follow the intense rivalry between McEnroe and Swedish tennis player Bjorn Borg during the 70s and 80s. Even though McEnroe is remembered as one of the great tennis players of all time, he is also known for having one of the worst tempers on the court. He would often be seen getting into shouting matches with the referee or aggressively swing his racket.
