Shia LaBeouf isn't one to normally smile for the camera.

However, the 29-year-old actor has clearly changed his tune as he was seen beaming for photographers after a lunch date with his girlfriend, Mia Goth in Studio City on Wednesday. 

The estranged actor surprisingly smiled for the camera as he walked hand-in-hand with his British girlfriend as they both donned casual clothes.

Something to smile about? Shia LaBeouf has clearly changed his tune as he was seen beaming for photographers after a lunch date with his girlfriend, Mia Goth in Studio City on Wednesday

The pair looked like they had worked up quite the sweat as they were seen dressed head-to-toe in gym gear.

Shia has kept a relatively low profile recently however the Transformers actor does have a film coming out later this year - American Honey.

The story follows a teenage girl with nothing to lose who joins a traveling magazine sales crew. She gets caught up in a whirlwind of hard partying, law breaking and young love as she travels the Midwest with a band of misfits.

However, the elusive actor has been in the news a lot recently, for different reasons.

Sadly, last week in New York an innocent man got punched in the face because he looks like Shia.

Mario Licato, 26, told People he was walking down the subway on a Saturday evening on his way to a friend's show when a man suddenly punched him.

The lookalike said: 'I just saw a fist coming at my face. And the next thing I know I was, like, falling down the stairs and all I heard was, "That's because you look exactly like Shia LaBeouf." '

But it seems Shia is feeling very generous at the moment as the actor actually called up Mario to apologise. 

Mario told Cosmopolitan: 'It was a pretty long voicemail. He was like, "Hey, this is Shia LaBeouf … I just read an article that you were punched in the face because you look like me?" And he was like, "Aw, man. That sucks. I'm so sorry'.

Ouch: Despite being punched Mario got a call from Shia. 'It was a pretty long voicemail. He was like, "Hey, this is Shia LaBeouf … I just read an article that you were punched in the face because you look like me?" And he was like, "Aw, man. That sucks. I'm so sorry'.

Mario has been keeping everyone up to date on Instagram as he shared a bruised photo with the caption: 'I wanna thank the guy who randomly decided he needed to hit me last night. "this happened bc you look exactly like Shia labeouf". Well sir you boosted my self esteem bc he's p hot'.

He then shared another photo looking less beaten up as he was talking on the phone. He captioned it: 'Brb talking to the real Shia'.

Looking better: Even though he'd been attacked on the subway for no reason Mario looked happy as he spoke to the famous actor on the phone. He captioned the Instagram: 'Brb talking to the real Shia'.

Seen better days: The lookalike said: 'I just saw a fist coming at my face. And the next thing I know I was, like, falling down the stairs and all I heard was, "That's because you look exactly like Shia LaBeouf." '
