Shia LaBeouf seems to be doing some damage control and may be converting himself into a Belieber. After recently dissing Justin Bieber's "worldwide popularity," the Transformers: Dark of the Moon star praised the 17-year-old for his buddha-like presence, and gave a special shout out to his girlfriend Selena Gomez last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live

Host Jimmy Kimmel joked that Shia better watch out for Justin now that the 25-year-old actor has made The Bieb's girlfriend, Selena Gomez, swoon.

But he isn't worried, because he met Justin and thinks he is "cool."

“He rolls with like a huge squad," Shia said of JB. "He has to, he has this presence like Buddha. He’s like the young prince."

He added: “I went up to him at the MTV Movie Awards to say hi and security was like, ‘Whoa, whoa.’ He was ready to take me down. Bieber just does this two finger wave, like, he’s okay. So he’s very cool. Bieber’s bomb. He's like a 60-year-old Sinatra and he has so much presence."
