LaBeouf goes nude 'spontaneously' in Sigur Ros video

Shia LaBeouf appears naked in a new Sigur Ros music video.

Shia LaBeouf appears naked in a new Sigur Ros music video.

In the graphic music video, 'Fjögur Píanó', the 'Transformers' actor is fully nude alongside a naked blonde woman - dancer Deena Thomsen - but the promo's director Alma Har'el revealed the nudity was not planned, it simply happened spontaneously during the five-day shoot.

Har'el told the Wall Street Journal: "That's the difference between working within a corporate system and something that artistically takes you places you wouldn't expect.

"To me, it's erotic, but it's not selling anything."

At one point in the eight-and-a-half minute video - which is choreographed by Ryan Heffington - the pair stand opposite each other fully naked as they face each other's demons with the melodic track playing in the background.

The clip also features LaBeouf playing with a dead butterfly and kissing it.

The pair also appear in their underwear, as well as performing a series choreographed dance moves.

Speaking about the video, Sigur Ros said in a statement: "We don't want to tell anyone how to feel and what to take from it. With the films, we have literally no idea what the directors are going to come back with."

The Icelandic band have given filmmakers the creative freedom to do "whatever comes into their head" when they listen to songs from their sixth studio album 'Valtari'.

Alma's clip is the third in the series and another film from is scheduled to appear on the group's website on July 2.

Sigur Ros are set to play at the Electric Picnic music and arts festival this summer, which takes place in Stradbally from August 31 to September 2.
