He's so clean shaven!

A bald-headed Shia LaBeouf suited up for the Man Down photocall during the 72nd Venice Film Festival on Sunday in Venice, Italy.

The film is set in a post -apocalyptic time and follows a former U.S. Marine who is searching for the whereabouts of his estranged wife and son. The film is competing in the Venice Film Festival's Horizons section for new discoveries.

At the fest, Shia said that doing this film and working with his director pal Dito Montiel helped get him back "on track." The Disturbia actor, who has taken part in a series of bizarre stunts, says he's only interested in working with friends right now. "I want to work with people that I have a connection with," said the actor. "I think for a while I was chasing the 10 list, right? The 10 directors you want to work with — and that didn't fare well for me.

Shia added, "I do much better with loving, familial environments where you feel like you can fail and the dude will get you on the other side. So I'm trying to make friends now and work with those people."
