Poor Shia LaBeouf. Despite the fact that he is openly trying to apologise for his past misdemeanours, he continues to draw more and more criticism.

The 27-year-old is currently performing in an art piece called, “#IAmSorry,” throughout this week, as he seeks to win forgiveness for plagiarising Daniel Clowes’ “Justin M Damiano,” in his short film, “HowardCantour.com,” as well as for his bizarre antics at the Berlin Film Festival.

However, actor Jerry O’Connell, working with Funny Or Die, has now added to the actor’s toil by opening his own exhibit called, “IAmSorryToo,” right next door to LaBeouf’s.

Much like LaBeouf’s piece, O’Connell encourages visitors to collect of piece of movie memorabilia that is linked to one of his past films before they enter a room where he is silently sitting.

Those who enter LaBeouf’s project can pick up several items that nod at his work in Transformers, and Indiana Jones, while O’Connell’s includes a DVD of Stand By Me and a toy kangaroo, which is an homage to 2003’s Kangaroo Jack.

BuzzFeed have since visited both rooms, and O’Connell explained to them that he was actually inspired by LaBeouf, and he isn’t trying to upset him.

“Everyone’s talking about it, whether you want to call it art or a real apology, it’s hilarious,” O’Connell noted. “He’s getting people talking. I’m all for this artsy gallery thing. It’s fun to parody because all I have to do here is sit with a bag on my head, crying, and saying, ‘I sowwy.’ But I have to tell you; it’s freeing to continually apologize like he does. I get it.”

While we’re completely aware why LaBeouf is so contrite, O’Connell has been a bit more open with his apologies. Apparently, he has even taken it upon himself to say sorry for “all the world’s ills.”

Meanwhile, Emile Hirsch has also decided to lambast LaBeouf’s recent Twitter campaign, which saw him repeatedly inform his followers:

Before he then unveiled on February 11:

Hirsch’s Twitter spree on Wednesday saw him write the following 18 Tweets:

And he then concluded by writing:
